Free ferry weekend and more in Boston! 🛳️
It's free ferry weekend in Boston, which means you can get beautiful views of the city while you enjoy a drink on the harbor! (May 13th to May 19th, 2024)
This weekend the Boston Harbor Islands is hosting free ferry rides to Georges Island. 🏞️ This island was used as a training facility for Union soldiers during the Civil War and is home to Fort Warren - originally built to protect Boston. 🏰
Georges Island is the perfect spot to picnic with a beautiful view of Boston Harbor. 🧺 You can catch this ferry right from downtown Boston’s Long Wharf North… for free!
Tickets are first come first serve, for more details visit Boston Harbor Island ⚓
The Mapparium Globe
Boston's enormous, three-story tall, inside-out glass globe was built in 1935. It's a unique depiction of the planet that gives Bostonians a rare chance to see the world in a way that doesn’t distort the surface of the Earth and instead view the real relative sizes of each continent. 🔭
Interestingly, when you stand at the center of the perfect sphere, you can hear your voice in full 360-degree surround sound. 📣 The curved glass walls do not absorb the sound waves, but reflect them back, letting you hear every whisper. 🤫
