The best of November is here, and the top things to do in Boston with kids span two seasons! This month, fall beauty transitions into the excitement for approaching holidays and winter days. Thankfully, there are tons of terrific things to do in Boston with kids. Families can line up for the 2022 Boston Veterans Parade to honor those who have served. Kids can experience America's Hometown Thanksgiving Celebration in Plymouth or chow down at the New England Harvest Feast.
The cool, crisp weather is an ideal time to enjoy free admission to National Parks or get outside for a Green Friday hike the day after Thanksgiving. Visits with Santa are also starting this month, with The Polar Express in Woonsocket, RI and The Train to Christmas Town on Cape Cod. Another event high on our list is the long-awaited 'Twas the Night Before Christmas performance from Cirque du Soleil.
