Family Weekend Guide

One of our favorite things about Family Weekend is that there is so much going on in the city of Boston during this time of year! We know it can be hard to decide what to do when there's so much, so we put together a guide of our favorite recommendations. In this guide you will find events, restaurants, and transportation information. The best part is that all the titles are hyperlinks so if you're interested in anything, you can click the title to read more!
