Museum of Fine Arts : Located one mile west of Boston's Copley Square in the Fenway area, the Museum of Fine Arts can be accessed easily by using public transportation. You will find assorted art galleries, restaurants, gift shops, concerts and special exhibits. One can't take in everything in just one visit, so you should plan a return trip. Paul Revere House : Built in 1680, Paul Revere House is downtown Boston's oldest house. You will find 17th and 18th century furnishings and assorted memorabilia inside this restored home. Paul Revere owned this home for three decades, from 1770 to 1800. Old State House : Built in 1713, this is the Boston's oldest public building, now serving as a history museum. Marked by a cobblestone circle, the Old State House has views which look over the site of the Boston Massacre. The first public reading of the Declaration of Independence in Boston took place on the balcony back in 1776.

Franklin Park Zoo : The recently renovated Franklin Park Zoo was founded in 1911 and is located on a 72 acre site.
