Sure, it's a little touristy , but the round trip only takes about 10 minutes, and it's a fun way to relax and see a different side of the Public Gardens .
These boats in the Public Garden are über-kid-friendly (read: famous, fun and cheap ). Your kids might know them from Make Way for Ducklings or The Trumpet of the Swan. Read more
Hit an ATM before you get in line (this attraction is cash only ), and then relax when you're on the boat. Enjoy this beautiful piece of Boston history.
Best kid entertainment value in Boston! The $1.25 a tot is especially worth it if he/she is a fan of Make Way For Ducklings - get ready for lots of "Mommy, is that Mr.Mallard?!"
Join the company of Calvin Coolidge and JFK who have ridden these 800 pound boats that carry 20 passengers in a 15 minute ride (in a figure 8) around the Public Garden lagoon . More info via our blog. Read more
Need a group of 8-10 adults for the boat to go out so if your party is smaller, you may have to wait awhile for other groups to arrive.
OK, it’s corny, but a lap around the lagoon is a lovely way to see the fountains and flowers of the Boston Public Garden , with real feathered friends swimming alongside you.
This rink is a less-crowded alternative right nearby the Frog Pond . The city does not maintain the ice, so the ice isn't very smooth or even, and you'll need your own skates . Read more
Short boat ride but very relaxing and enjoyable.
Actually it’s NOT cash only . Cards accepted.

A great historical site. Sometimes re-enactments are performed there. A great place to visit with friends or family members, especially around the Fourth of July. I took the ship tour. - Timothy Tanner
The whale watching tour is excellent. The naturalist on board was incredibly knowledgeable. They are well prepared for seasickness too - they have preventative stuff for sale, and plenty of sick bags - Ashley Howe
Really nice park to visit although quite small in size. It's haunted as well so you might see some friendly spirits! - Hayley Cooper
