Explore Boston Public Garden and discover a picturesque park with a rich history and plentiful landscapes.

During the warmer seasons, the four acre pond located in the Boston Public Gardens is usually the home of one or more swans and is always the site of the Swan Boats - one of the city’s most famous tourist attractions. For a small fee, tourists can be pedaled around the peaceful lake by a tour guide. 

The Boston Public Garden is also home to several iconic statues.  A family favorite is the set of bronze statues based on the main characters from the children’s story Make Way for Ducklings, which is located between the pond and the Charles and Beacon streets entrance.  Take a piece of this memory home with you by picking up a copy of the book in the Fairmont Store!
