Boston Duck Tours

Multi-terrain touring vehicles

3 Copley Place, Suite 310 (Office)
Boston, MA 02116
United States
+1 617 267 3825
http://www.bostonducktours.com/

A fleet of Ducks, brightly colored, vintage World War II amphibious vehicles provide 80-minute, narrated, half-land, half-water tours of Boston. Do not be alarmed when your Duck abandons its wheels and lowers itself onto the Charles River! Tours depart on the half-hour and cover many of Boston's downtown tourist attractions. Keep in mind: Tour guides encourage quacking! Tickets, which may be purchased two days in advance, often sell out quickly, especially on summer weekends.

Healthworks Back Bay

Work it out, ladies! 441 Stuart Street
Boston, MA 02116
United States
+1 617 859 7700
http://www.healthworksfitness.com If "no space to work out" has always been your excuse, then head towards this 35,000-square-foot fitness club exclusively for women. If you have kids you can't leave behind, bring them along—they'll be in good hands at the in-house nursery. If you feel intimidated on the first day, then attend the equipment orientation to figure out what's best for your body. There are four studios featuring Pilates, boxing and other fitness programs—aerobics, weight-training, cardiovascular workouts, etc. Conclude your day with a visit to the sauna and/or a dip in the Jacuzzi.
