EasyFor people looking to exercise their minds more than their bodies. There’s minimal walking and not too many stairs.
ModerateThese programs get you on your feet and include activities such as walking up to a mile in a day through a city and standing in a museum for a few hours.
ActiveFor people who enjoy walking as much as two miles a day, perhaps to explore historic neighborhoods or a nature trail.
Moderately ChallengingFor hardy explorers who enjoy a good physical challenge, spending most of their days on the go.
ChallengingGet ready to keep up with our highest-energy group. These demanding — and rewarding — programs are for seasoned outdoor enthusiasts.

Program intended for grandchildren from 7 - 10 years of age.

To Americans young and old, the words “one if by land, two if by sea” invoke the image of Paul Revere on his legendary midnight ride. Come to Boston and create your own legendary experience with your grandchild. Feel the spirit of the Revolution as you throw tea into the harbor at the new Boston Tea Party Museum. Follow the Freedom Trail to Old North Church, float down the Charles River on a “Duck Boat,” and discover more than 500 interactive exhibits at the Museum of Science. Learn more about this “city upon a hill” and make a local favorite, Boston cream pie.


Highlights

• Retrace Boston’s revolutionary past along the Freedom Trail, from the Old State House to Faneuil Hall to the USS Constitution and beyond.
• Watch Seals and Seal lions play at the New England Aquarium, visit the Museum of Science and ferry to the Boston Harbor Islands.
• Stand atop the "Green Monster" and go behind the scenes at historic Fenway Park.

Activity Notes

Walking up to two miles, uneven surfaces. Must be able to climb two flights of stairs. Extensive use of public transportation.

Coordinated by Road Scholar.
