    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 .

    10 out of 10! We went at 5pm on a weekday and got to walk around 3 times with little to no crowds…read more It honestly worked out perfectly since the sun started setting at different points giving the light installation a different view each moment. Plenty of free parking. The staff were great and having pop up food and drink stations kept us plenty engaged. Pro tip: there is a red lantern riddle station, go there, answer 3 riddles at the white tent behind you correctly, and you'll get a small prize. The sohn is super small, but now you know! We will definitely be back again next year!

    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.

    One of many sculptures/statues in Boston, this one was inspired by Dr. Martin Luther King and his…read morewife is located in Boston Commons. I had this on my sightseeing list for my visit to Boston, it was nice getting to check off two spots at once since I was coming to Boston Commons to start my self guided tour of the freedom trail. Embrace is the first of many sculptures you'll ended up coming across while you're on the path of the freedom trail.

    "Embrace me My sweet embraceable you…read moreEmbrace me You irreplaceable you" (Ella Fitzgerald) While walking around Boston Common, we saw a large and very odd-looking rounded structure so of course we had to check it out. That's how we discovered the statue known as "The Embrace" and learned that it was a monument reflecting Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. and Coretta Scott King's love and time together in the city where they met. The statue is very creative, I mean how unusual is it to see a memorial dedicated to two very famous people that doesn't include their faces? Instead, the Embrace represents a hug and the greater meaning of love. The bronze monument is 20-feet tall and 25-feet wide. There are walls near the monument inscribed with quotes from the Kings, including this from Coretta Scott King: "Love is such a powerful force. It's there for everyone to embrace--that kind of unconditional love for all humankind. That is the kind of love that impels people to go into the community and try to change conditions for others, to take risks for what they believe in".
