5 Things to do in Boston Before a Show

By Kat: 

If you're coming to Boston for a show, you could have some time to kill beforehand. Luckily, Boston is full of great things to do all year long, all day long. Whether its a trip to a museum, visit to Faneuil Hall or a walk through the city, Boston has a lot to offer besides a great EDM lineup. Next time you visit for a show, check out some of these great Boston attractions.

Check out our favorite places to go after the jump:


Sam Adams Brewery
The brewery runs free tours daily that include information on how the Boston lager is brewed, as well as a ton of samples! They even have a shuttle to and from the brewery, so you can get there and drink safely.

Institute of Contemporary Art
The ICA is Boston's modern art museum. It's often overlooked for the larger Museum of Fine Arts, but the museum has great exhibits and boasts a beautiful location at the seaport.


Fenway Victory Gardens
When the flowers start to bloom, the Boston Victory Gardens in Fenway are a beautiful spot to visit. The gardens are maintained by Boston locals who make sure that the walk through is something to see all summer long.

Jillian's and Lucky Strike
Right next door to one of Boston's biggest venues, House of Blues, is Lucky Strike. The bowling alley offers plenty of lanes to throw a strike, billiard tables and an extensive menu and drink list! Stop by before a show for a round of drinks and bowling!

Swan Boats at the Boston Common
The Swan Boats are one of the cutest attractions that Boston has to offer. For only a couple of dollars, you can take a ride around the lake in the center of the Commons! Its a great way to perfect a date on the town in Boston.
