NJ nestie with a question!

Hi!

 I have a seminar that I will be attending in Boston in April (15th-16th) and MH and I were considering bringing our kids with us. Isabella will be 2 and Sal will be 10 months. 

Are there places in Boston that they can visit while I am in my class? I will be in class from 8am till 3pm.

Are there family friendly restaurants that you can recommend? How is the weather during that time of the year? 

Thanks for all you info!

The weather could go either way in April. ?There is the Boton Children's museum and The aquarium that they would probably enjoy visiting. ?There is also a zoo a little bit outside of the city but it might still be too cold. ?Since I don't have kids, that's all I can think of. ?:-) GL

There's so much to do in Boston. One of our Nesties, Laina, is a concierge so maybe she'll be able to weigh in!

We just moved here in June but the few times we have been here in April it's been beautiful outside. I second the aquarium- it would be really great for kids. The commons are also really nice in the spring and you can take the kids for a ride on the swan boats in the public gardens there. You could also maybe take a Duck Tour- you get a pretty good tour of the city and kids usually like it too because the bus/boat goes into the water. HTH!

All the above sounds good.  Also the Museum of Science has some great exhibits for kids.

I wish we would have done the aquarium when we were there. The duck tours always looked fun too. We had a nice time at hte kid's museum. Parts of it were run down, but the kids didn't notice, just us adults.

If the weather is good, things will be good; on average I'd say it'd be 45-55 degrees.  The zoo in Franklin Park is fun.  It's not the best zoo there ever was, but it's very adequate.  It's not very accessible to public transportation, though.

 I also agree with Children's Museum and the Aquarium.  Both good choices.  There are lots of great places to walk around and just be outside.  

For restaurants that are kid friendly I would recommend Joe's/Charlie's (they are both part of the same restaurant group) and Legal Seafood.  We take DD to both and they are great with her.
