Q. Hey there!
I am going on a college visit/tour to MCPHS in Boston, Ma. I will be having my Brother and Sister who are a lot younger than I, and my mom and dad want to know what there is to do for them. Being from Long Island and never been to MA, I guess it is wise to ask.

They are looking for something fun to do. I know MA is very historical and great for touring, but we want something that appeals to kids. Any amuesment parks? Aquariums?

Thanks!


Answer
Amusemt parks?
You have 6 flags out is Agawam
there is the New England Aquarium in Boston and the Woods Hole Aquarium in Falmouth
there are lots of beaches, though I'd avoid North Shore Beaches, the water is too cold
