4. Ride a swan boat
Since 1877, the Paget family’s iconic swan boats have taken passengers on picturesque voyages through the Public Garden’s peaceful lagoon. You can check out the historic Swan Boats of Boston this spring starting on April 13, with services running through the end of the season on Sept. 15.
Tickets cost $3 for adults and $1.50 for children between the ages of 2 and 15.
