Boston
About 675,000 people.
Boston is the capital and biggest city of Massachusetts, and one of the oldest cities in the whole country. It played a huge part in American history, from the very first days of the nation.
You can walk the Freedom Trail, a red-brick path that leads to famous history spots. Kids love the New England Aquarium with its giant ocean tank, and cheering for the Red Sox at Fenway Park.
History & Downtown
Downtown Boston is full of old buildings, cobblestone streets, and stories from long ago. The Freedom Trail connects sixteen important places where the story of America began.
Parks & Nature
Boston Common is the oldest public park in the United States, perfect for a picnic or feeding the ducks. In winter, families ice skate on the Frog Pond right in the middle of the city.
