DUCK TOUR 2pm at NE AquariumRight from the Aquarium, we’ll hop aboard Boston Duck Tours and enjoy a fully narrated and guided, historic tour of Boston in a “DUCK", a W.W.II style amphibious landing vehicle that travels on land and water. We'll be greeted by one of their legendary ConDUCKtors, who'll be narrating the tour. Cruise by all the places that make Boston the birthplace of freedom and a city of firsts, from the golden domed state House to the Boston Common, the historic North End to fashionable Newbury Street, Quincy Market to the Prudential Tower, and more. Just when you think you’ve seen it all, it’s time for a Big Splash as your ConDUCKtor drives the DUCK right into the Charles River for a breathtaking view of the Boston and Cambridge skylines.If you trek out on an adventure, you must make your way back to the Aquarium to catch the bus back home! Wear comfortable walking shoes, layered outer wear, and bring totes or backpacks for purchases or the like. You may leave anything on the bus that you will not need while exploring.
