Essential Things To Do In Boston During Winter

Boston dazzles and shines during the winter season. While the weather cools, the city’s spirit does not. Boston begs to be experienced during winter because it offers a wide variety of attractions and activities that you won’t easily find elsewhere.

What Are Some Essential Things To Do In Boston This Winter?

Boston isn’t short of winter attractions. Here is an overview of winter activities in Boston for visitors.

– Ice skating: One of the most popular attractions during the winter is ice skating, and many locals and visitors love the famous Frog Pond on Boston Common.

– Sledding: Boston Common is also a popular spot for sledding.

– See a Celtics or Bruins Game: Boston’s NBA and NHL teams’ seasons are in full swing during winter. They also both play in the same arena: The TD Garden.

– First Night Boston: If you are here during New Year’s Eve, then there is no better party than the city celebration called First Night Boston.

– Visit A Brewery: A great way to warm up on a chilly winter day is to step into one of the many historic and delicious breweries in Boston. Check out Samuel Adams or Dorchester Brewery when you visit.

– Amesbury Sports Park: It’s one of the most popular winter sports parks in the New England area, and for good reason, too. The park offers more than 1,000 snow tubes for 12 tubing lanes on what they claim is the fastest snow tubing hill in New England.

– Drink Hot Chocolate: It’s a classic winter thing to do, and L.A. Burdick makes some of the best chocolate treats. They also offer vegan chocolates.
