Things to do in Massachusetts
CAPE COD
You can do everything from Whale & Dolphin watching to going to art museums. There’s so much for all the family to do in Cape Cod. The Cape is a very family-oriented vacation place to enjoy seafood, beaches, bicycling, camping, antique shopping, and lots more.
The whale and dolphin tours usually last about three to four hours and you can usually get some great shots of humpback whales as they tend to come quite close to the boats, which really gets the excitement going in kids and adults alike!
The whole family will also get a kick out of the Whydah Pirate Museum in Provincetown. The Whydah sank in 1717 and to this day remains the only authenticated pirate ship ever salvaged. This museum houses some of the 100,000 items that were found including coins, jewellery and weapons!
MARTHA’S VINEYARD
With all the beaches in sight, it makes Martha’s Vineyard a relaxation paradise. Locals feel that they are such a world apart from Cape Cod and often refer to the mainland as “America”. Take a walk to Chappaquiddick, an enchanting 14-acre Japanese garden with walkways, drooping Cherry trees, wooden bridges and the noisiest birds on earth. You’ll need to take the 3-car-3-minute ‘Chappy Ferry’ from Edgartown.
NANTUCKET
When in Nantucket, be sure to visit the Nantucket Atheneum if you’re into history. It is the island’s unique library. The entrance is a sight in itself – resembling Greek architecture. The building houses the “abolitionist meetings of yesterday to the environment film series of today”. Other museums in the area include the Nantucket Whaling Museum where you’ll see a 46 foot skeleton of a Sperm Whale that washed up on the shores of Nantucket on New Year’s Day in 1998.
SALEM
No trip to Salem is complete without visiting the Salem Witch Museum. This museum examines one of the most enduring and emotional events in American History – the Witch Trials of 1692. Visitors can experience the drama of the dark times through life size stages, lighting and disturbing narration. The whole presentation is based on actual trial documents so you’re in for a scare! Other sights in the area include the Peabody Essex Museum, the Salem Maritime National Historic Site and the House of the Seven Gables.

Kennedy Space Center
Day 1 After a very comfortable sleep and delightful breakfast at the hotel, we made our way to Kennedy Space Center (KSC) where we explored the Complex freely, taking some epic photographs of sights such as the Rocket Garden which I had heard about beforehand but was amazed to see up close and personal. Next… Continue reading Out-Of-This-World: Our Experience at Kennedy Space Center
A Guide to Airline Age Policies
If you’re about to travel with your child/infant and their age changes during the holiday, you may be wondering whether they need a different plane ticket on the way home. For example, your 11-year old may turn 12 before you depart, which is the usual age for an adult plane ticket. Do you need to… Continue reading A Guide to Airline Age Policies
