Planning a summer stay-cation? How about spending a beautiful summer day on the Boston Public Garden? Take 10 rides on the delightful Swan Boats and then head down Newbury Street for people watching and to grab an ice-cream cone at J.P. Licks ($15 gift card).

For over 130 years, the Swan Boats have been a part of the Boston experience. As a welcome sign of Spring, they grace the waters of the Boston Public Garden, the first botanical garden in the United States. Famed in the stories Make Way for Ducklings and The Trumpet of the Swan, the Swan Boats are the only boats of their kind in the world.
