I’ll have one and a half days worth of free time. What is something I absolutely must do in that time? I’ve never been there.

They've got a really cool aquarium - the main tank stretches over several floors and is spectacular.

Second this, and catch a baseball game

Always a classic! That should have been the title of my post.

If you like art mesuems, check out any number of theirs. Our favorite is the Boston Fine Arts, but there lot of awesome smaller ones as well.

Faneuil Hall is a really cool, historic shopping center to spend some time at.

Boston Burger Co has some very excellent burgers for decent pricing, a few locations through Boston and surrounding.

Can never go wrong hitting the aquarium or the Franklin Park Zoo.

I don’t know why, but I got really excited at the mention of burgers. I appreciate all of the suggestions!

There’s also a new Gordon Ramsay Burger right near Faneuil hall

My favorite is their inferno burger if you go!

I haven't been there in years, but (not a sports fan at all) Boston made going to a ball game a real treat! Crazy fans, lots of fun!

MIT was really neat, and the Commons was awesome.

The aquarium is amazing. I spent too much time hanging with the penguins.

The aquarium seems like a front runner so far!

Are they not good? I've never had one, but everyone says you've gotta try a Boston creampie.

I believe their face was due to the implication.

There's the Museum of Science, Fanueil Hall, Fenway park (even a tour if there is no game), the freedom trail, and tons more

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

Freedom Trail is definitely on the list! The others could be fun, too. Finding the time for everything will be the hardest part.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

I second the Museum of Science! It's a lot of fun.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

I've never been there either, but enjoy your stay!

The Mapararium is off the beaten track and really cool.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

I had to Google that. It does look pretty cool. Thanks!
