A family visit to the zoo is always a good idea. At Boston’s Franklin Park Zoo each and every member of the family will have a great outing as they meet and admire a huge selection of animals from all over the world.
The (seasonal) Aussie Aviary is a great hit with younger children who can hand-feed the colorful collection of budgies. Little visitors will also love exploring the Children’s Zoo where they can play alongside red pandas and other interesting animals and reptiles. A few of the zoo’s highlights include the Tiger Tales Exhibit, the Giraffe Savannah and the Tropical Rainforest where you can meet hippos, primates and more. The zoo also features an enormous playground for younger children.
