I recently spent the morning meandering around the gardens with my 3 small children while my husband attended a bussiness conference. The gardens are beautiful, the fountains are tranquil, and the Make Way for Ducklings statues cannot be missed. The swan boat rides were another inexpensive treat. Such a gem in a beautiful city.

This park is so beautiful! We visited in May. The flowers are in bloom. There are ducks, a few geese with their goslings and 2 swans on the pond. Do not miss a visit to the park, just sitting, relaxing and enjoying nature and the people there.

Springtime is the best time to visit the gardens. The first few weekends in May all the flowers are blooming. It is absolutely gorgeous!

One must always stroll through the Public Garden while in Boston. The city serves as a backdrop to the tranquil scenery of the park. Take a Swan Boat ride, watch the ducks, view the “Make Way for Ducklings” sculpture or just meander around. It should not be missed!

Boston Public Gardens in the fall has to be an almost perfect way to spend a couple of hours. For such a public place it has a tranquil atmosphere. The view across the water to a vista of Boston buildings is strangely lovely to look at. The swan boats glide quietly, mothers sit and watch their kids playing, busy Bostonians sip their Starbucks and ponder their day. Keep your eyes open for the cute mommy duck and her ducklings, these statues are so perfect and fit so well in their surroundings.As a visitor from the UK I was recommended to walk through these gardens and have to say, the weather was beautiful and I spent one of the most glorious hours of my trip in New England here.
