When you arrive in Boston, you are arriving in a city that is approaching four hundred years old. As such it has lots of activities and attractions to offer to its visitors, both modern ones and those that have existed for a long time.

But there is a lot more to Boston than meets the eye – and despite the fact that it’s a city, it is also home to lots of animals. From islands to zoos, there is plenty here to pique your interest.

The Franklin Park Zoo in Boston has plenty of animals of all descriptions you can take the whole family to see. One of the key features of this zoo is that it has painstakingly recreated different regions of the world for their animals to live in – and also for you to experience.

Apparently the gorillas are very popular at the zoo, and you will find them in the tropical section. Elsewhere there is an African section which has lions you can get up close to – with just a pane of glass between you and them. Not all the animals live apart from each other either. Some will share the same space with others, just as they would if they were living in the wild. This aspect of the zoo makes a visit quite fascinating.

If you would rather see animals in the wild you can do that too in Boston. Just head for Boston Harbour and book yourself onto one of the cruises that depart from there on a regular basis. This will give you the opportunity to go whale watching.

You may also see dolphins in the wild if you give this trip a go, and while nothing is guaranteed the odds of seeing both species are very good indeed.

Back at Central Wharf in Boston you can see more aquatic mammals by going to the New England Aquarium. Everything from anacondas to sharks is on display here, and if you have ever wanted to say hi to a turtle named Myrtle, this is your chance!

Finally why not head over to one of Boston’s islands for the day? Not everyone realises that there are thirty four islands very close to Boston itself, and this gives you a whole new world to explore during a trip to the city.

Grape Island is best for viewing all kinds of different wildlife. If you have a good camera with a zoom lens and some binoculars, you can look forward to an active day’s walking and a chance to see plenty of different birds.

You won’t be far from the action regardless of which of the many Boston hotels you decide to stay in. So make sure you get to see all of the above sights – it makes for a fascinating trip to this old American city.
