| Don't know what direction you're coming from, but leaving the car at
Riverside is a favorite way to go in town. Since Riverside's the end
of the (green) line, you always get good seats, and it's a nice long
ride through leafy suburbs before you get to the grimy underground T we
adults know and love :-)
Might be prohibitively expensive, but the Top of the Hub offers an
exciting view for kids. Or you could just go to the observation deck
as one of the planned activities. Or try the John Hancock bldg - do they
still have the film taken from a helicopter over Boston? I remember
you could view the huge floating weight that stabilizes the building
from swaying in the wind; that was pretty cool (for the 7- and 10-year-
olds, anyway).

| The Red Line is a great way to go in -- the underground part isn't so grimy,
and you get a real spectacular view of Boston when you go across the
Longfellow Bridge.
If you get off at Park Street, you are right at the Boston Common, which is
usually decorated. If the weather's right, you may be able to catch some
carolers or other musicians on the Common as well.

| 628.4 | Try Fanual Hall | ASABET::TRUMPOLT | Liz Trumpolt - 223-7195, MSO2-2/F3 | Tue Nov 16 1993 15:11 | 8 |
| You could also take the kids to Fanual Hall Market place. It is always
nicely decorated during the holiday season and has some good place's to
eat also. There is also a Disney store there and many other neat
shops. They also have the caroler's and bell ringers (they play
christmas carols with bells). You could also take them to the Aquarium
which is with in walking distance from Fanual Hall.

| The Children's Science Museum is a GREAT favorite of my kids' ... lots
of things for them to do/touch/play with. If you can get to a college
campus, sometimes they have a "public"ish skating rink. There might
even be a place on the Boston Common to skate.
If you choose Museums, DEC usually offers discounts on tickets.
