One of the coolest things I've seen recently!…read more We went with a group of friends on a whim, didn't know what to expect. THIS WAS ONE OF THE COOLEST THINGS! The lights were dynamic, bright and so colorful. From lobsters, to a giant octopus, a massive butterfly and a huge angler fish you can go inside, there were so many things to see! I don't think words do this justice. I think there's one week left (maybe) so run don't walk, and at the very least put it on the calendar for next year!

I can't believe Franklin Park had so many lights…read more IT's AMAZING ‼‼ The amount of detail and work that went into putting up these light displays is beyond even my imagination. It must take at least a month to install everything and then troubleshoot bulbs that don't work. If you have never been there, you have to go this is just an awesome site. I cannot believe that they only leave one month between the Boston lights and then the Christmas lights because they're gonna have to take everything down and then put all the Christmas lights up. I can't wait to go. I mean it's just gonna be amazing. Long in depth reviews, but for this one all I have to do is tell you to go and enjoy because it's amazing. I would like to tell everyone is to bring a snack with you or eat before you go because the concession stand is very expensive just a heads up. Put on a jacket and some gloves and get ready for the Christmas lights cause I am so excited to see what they look like if it was anything like the Boston lights you have to see it. It's amazing. !! I really didn't count to any staff actually I didn't even see any staff other than the girl that was in the booth and she was fantastic right on .

Just to add to the other reviews, nice island which also offers a rocky beach for day use (no…read morelifeguards). There are several tables for picnics, and a few Adirondack chairs scattered about to chill out on. Another option to get to Grape Island other than from Boston is to take the ferry directly from Hewitts Cove located at the old Hingham Shipyard on the South Shore, the ferry takes about 15 minutes to get to Grape Island from there without transfer, you should be able to swim it in 10 minutes though, with combat boots on! To be fair, the boat is a small pontoon boat and not one of the larger ferries, the crews are pretty friendly & informative. If you go on the weekend and the office or gangway shack are both closed just wait at the dock, the boat will arrive as advertised. It hits Grape Island and then out to Bumpkin, Peddocks, and then finally George's, all for $14, so get up early and try to visit at least two in one day. This summer the rangers (very friendly also, must be all non -natives :) are offering guided kayak tours on Weds, Thurs, Sat, & Sunday, I believe on a first come first serve basis, one guide and four visitors. They also offer nature photography sessions if a ranger is available and on request. Enjoy!

This was my first camping experience and I really enjoyed it but…read more.. 1) my group had 2 campgrounds in the group section and both areas were extremely slanted. It was hard to get comfortable and I woke up multiple times at night sliding down my tent. 2) only one of the three bathrooms were working. Luckily there weren't that many people so other than my group, there wasn't a long line. 3) the map wasn't very helpful. There were alot of trails not on the map. It's a small place so we didn't get lost but we had less than 24 hours on the island so it would have been nice to have a more accurate map.
