Saturday, Sep 9

10:00am - 2:00pm

Boston Children's Museum

Yearly

Enjoy kayaking, paddle boarding, fishing, crabbing, art activities, lawn games and more on the Boston Waterfront! This event is hosted by TACC (The American City Coalition). They will have a welcome tent and distribute the free passes for the day.


The day also includes free admission to the Boston Children's museum or the Institute for Contemporary Art (ICA). Consider bringing clothes you don't mind getting wet and a water bottle (to stay hydrated).


While the boating events are for ages 5+, families with younger children have tons to do in the museum.


Parking downtown can get tricky. There is 4-hour parking on Congress Street (~$3.75/hour), but the commuter rail or ride-sharing may be the better option.



There are 3 discounted parking garages near the Children's Museum, ranging from $25-$45.




Call TACC (The American City Coalition) at (857) 308.3015 if you have any questions.
