Hey Bostonians! The Highland Street Foundation is sponsoring
Free Fun
Fridays again this year. Don’t miss the opportunity to visit museums and
cultural venues across Massachusetts for free!
Among the venues is Capron Park Zoo in Attleboro which is about
50 minutes from Boston. It’s a nice ride out of town to see exotic animals such
as the white lion, red panda, emus and pythons. But for us, the main attraction
is the splash
pad, a fun and exciting zero-depth water playground that thrills children
of all ages. For maximum enjoyment, bring bathing suits and beach clothing and
sunscreen for your kids. The local
pharmacy near me offers a quality selection of sunscreens and other health
and beauty aids for the whole family and they provide more individualized care
than the national chains. You should try them, if you are not yet a customer.

doesn’t stain your clothing. The oil component of these lotions leaves
invisible stains that can become visible over time. These stains may not be
easily removed in normal washing. I usually take stained clothing to a dry cleaner near me for stain removal.
The park does not allow visitors to bring picnics, but there
is a Concession Stand that offers delicious fresh cooked food, ice cream and cold
drinks while you rest at shady picnic benches.
The Zoo is a wonderful place to visit at other times of the
year too. There are educational classes on animals and how to take care of them,
conservation, photography and more. If you have teenage children, you may
consider enrolling them into the Zoo Crew program which gives teens the
opportunity to volunteer at the Zoo. The
Zoo also offers birthday party packages for children – a perfect birthday
celebration for the kid who loves animals!

Boston has a little something for everyone when it comes to celebrations and holidays, but none tops St. Patrick’s Day. Whether you’re new to the city or a long-time resident looking for new experiences, St. Paddy’s has it all– even if you don’t like to drink. Why Boston? For those uninitiated, Boston has a massive Irish population (about 23% of its citizens identify as Irish!). Originally emigrating from persecution in the colonial era, Boston’s had a long-standing history of Irish origin. Immigrants escaping the potato famine in the 19th century further built the Irish population, and Boston quickly became a hub for Irish Americans.
