An old-fashioned Christmas for children |
900 Boylston Street Hynes Convention Center Boston, MA 02115 United States +1 617 635 3911 http://www.cityofboston.gov/ca... |
For years, downtown department store Jordan Marsh brought Christmas alive for local children with a massive display of animated animals and elves. After the chain was bought by Macy's, the city of Boston opened up space at City Hall Plaza for the display. However, in 2004 this event was relocated yet again and is currently a popular holiday attraction at the Hynes Convetion Center November through January. This covered village is now the centerpiece of the city's holiday celebration, which of course features Santa and his reindeer. Watch colorful displays light up the faces of your children as you walk through this seasonal exhibit. Review © 2007, Wcities |
