Boston is one of the oldest cities in the United States and it befittingly houses countless historic landmarks, iconic homes, and educational sites for both kids and tourists. It's the golden opportunity to soak in the country's unique history. Some events are centered around the American Revolution, with students and tourists embarking on enlightening experiences together with their parents, teachers, or guides. What this means for you, if you’re looking around for fun places to have a field trip with your charges, is an abundance of choices to choose from.

Be on the lookout for whale-watching expeditions, harbor cruises, cultural events, food tours, charter bus trips to unique, historic neighborhoods and vast parks for relaxing day outs. Of course, you don’t need to blaze new trails to kid-friendly attractions in Boston, as they are strategically strewn all around the city. Here are 5 of the best that Boston has to offer!

1. The Freedom Trail Foundation

44 School Street, Suite 250, Boston, MA 02108
(617) 357-8300

You don't have to run the gamut and instead walk at your own pace in and out of 16 historically-significant sites in Boston which is typically completed in approximately 90 minutes. For students, it’s an easy fix-it-all! 

The tour brings visitors around to authentic treasures like museums, churches, burial grounds and meeting houses like Boston Common, Park Street Church, Massachusetts State House, Granary Burying Ground, Old Corner Bookstore, Old South Meeting House, the Benjamin Franklin statue, the former site of Boston Latin School, and many more. 30-minute admissions into each of the site give you earnest glimpses into the history of the people who helped shape the country. The trail ends at Bunker Hill Monument and the U.S.S. Constitution and, from there, you can take a slow, languid walk through historic Charlestown with your kids or students.
