That may have something to do with one of them pointed out that they've beat the cardinals in the World Series.

Trail is marked with red brick like red line in the gourd and easily you follow read line and see more than half of attraction of boston .

We did not have reservations and you can show up and get in with the quick ticketing. With such a big crowd getting in, I thought it would be crowded in the galleries but it wasn't, even at the renowned paintings. If you like French impressionists the museum has an extensive collection, especially Monet, and many others. The African and modern art sections were interesting.

- jerrys01Bel Air, MD588 contributionsI actually consider the Garden to be more of a park. Yes, there are some flowers, but with the paths, waterways, swan boats, etc., the elements of a great public park are present. My wife and I spent a pleasant hour strolling the grounds and enjoying the fresh and (for once) sunny air.Written May 18, 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- jerrys01Bel Air, MD588 contributionsThe daughter of our next-door neighbor now lives in the Boston area, and she told us you must visit the library. I have to say she was right. With the high ceilings and the impressive murals on the walls, along with the large lions on the main staircase, the building is really something to see. The courtyard between the old and new areas was also very attractive with its fountain and statue. The new area contains most of the books, and while attractive, its only worth visiting if you need to find a book.Written May 18, 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- CHKVClifton Park, NY63 contributionsThere is so much to see on JFk & Jackie. Interesting exhibit on the 1960 debates and election. A must do for any JFK or Jackie buffs. We spent about 3 hours there.Written May 2, 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
