The best free and fun things to do in Boston with kids include activities for Easter, Passover, and Earth Day. There's lots of fun for kids in Boston this April! Get out those calendars and start saving some dates because April is hopping like the Easter Bunny right before the big day! After you've posed with the Bunny and had your fill of brunches and egg hunts, keep the April fun going and be the first to ride the Swan Boats this season, explore the "Roar" at the Roger Williams Zoo, or tour one of the Greater Boston's National Parks for free. Read on to get the scoop on the events we are most excited about in Boston this month.
