 OK but limited June 11, 2008
1 out of 1 found this review helpful
I think the potential buyer of this book would do better buying Frommer's Guide, as I used that rather than this guide on a recent family trip to Boston. This book was just too limiting. When I originally purchased this, I thought it might have been more "kid-friendly," but none of my three children were interested at looking through it. It is really meant more for adults to see what's available in Boston and families. Another disappointment was that there were no maps nor any rhyme or reason as to how they listed the 68 "great things to do together." They were not put into any sort of geographical organization, which hurts the book as well. Yes, the descriptions given in the book were fine, but once more, I think a more complete guide (such as Frommers) would be the more worthwhile investment.
 Fun compendium of area things to do with kids December 26, 2007
6 out of 6 found this review helpful
This book offers up an alphabetical list of different museums, events, parks, shows, and more to do with kids of all ages. Each item has its own two-page spread in this pocket-sized book, with all of the information plus a nice description. Most entries also have information about the surrounding area, including other attractions and local kid-friendly restaurants.
The reason I knocked this review down to 4 stars was because almost every restaurant mentioned is a huge national chain. I didn't really need to be told that the Uno's next door has a kids menu... what about good local restaurants? Boston is full of small cafes, pizzarias, and local bistros... why is it assumed that the only place a child will eat is at Applebee's?
