    The Harvard Art Museums are an essential part of any Harvard trip. We took our children there twice; the first visit was unforeseen, but the second was a perfect opportunity. While the museums aren't large, the galleries are interconnected, and the exhibits are strategically arranged, allowing you to fully explore Harvard's century-long collection without having to backtrack. Admission is free, but registration is required. There's a small but welcoming dining area on the first floor. It's best to avoid meal times, or enjoy brunch before entering, followed by coffee and snacks between visits. We spent a full day exploring the museums and were deeply impressed by the endless charm of this world-class university. A trip to Harvard offers even more possibilities for our children's growth and development. Here are some authentic world-famous paintings from the museums' long-standing collection, ready for everyone to explore and appreciate.

    The Boston Public Garden is a historic urban oasis and a must-visit landmark. Famous for its beautifully landscaped lawns, vibrant flowerbeds, and iconic swan boats, it offers a serene escape in the heart of the city. The Victorian-style design, charming bridges, and statues—including the beloved Make Way for Ducklings sculptures—add unique character. Visitors can enjoy leisurely walks along tree-lined paths, relax by the lagoon, or have a picnic amidst lush greenery. Seasonal blooms create ever-changing scenery, making every visit special. Ideal for families, photographers, and nature lovers, the Public Garden beautifully blends history, art, and natural beauty.

    The Charles River runs through Boston. The river is very wide. You can see many sailboats and kayaks on the shore. The river water looks very clean. Harvard, MIT, Boston University and other world-class universities are all built on the riverside. It feels like a very vibrant area. When the weather is good, the view is particularly good. I envy the children who can go to school here.
