Boston is a great city to visit with kids, and a convenient way to sightsee is with a Go Boston Card: buy a single or multi-day pass and get admission to 50 attractions, including top draws such as Duck Tours, Beantown Trolley, Museum of Science, and even Six Flags New England.

Read about a guest writer's experience with the Go Boston Card. His daughter especially liked the "Duck Tour", a part truck and part boat tour in a former WW II amphibious craft: the vehicle first cruises the streets of Boston as the driver comments on famous landmarks; and then with a switcheroo, the vehicle becomes a boat and coasts down a ramp to start a river tour.
