Best Things To Do in Boston in July with Kids
July starts off with a bang with 4th of July festivities—but the fun keeps going all month long. Begin by celebrating Independence Day at Boston's annual Harborfest and wrap up the month with a trip to Newburyport for a week-long festival filled with live music, fireworks, and a parade.
And make sure to plan ahead and score tickets for a special Dad Day at Patriot Place, make reservations for some 17th-century mini-golf in Plymouth, and book a spot for the lantern light show at the Franklin Park Zoo—yes it's back! Read on for all of our top picks for July!
Along with all these great activities, you can also fill your summer days making a splash at a nearby beach or visiting a local lake or pond, loading up the car to catch a flick at a drive-in movie, or going for a spin on the rides at one of these great amusement parks.
