Fenway is one of my very favorite places. We took that tour years ago and I was awed by the history, the mythology, the tradition. I know my dad will take H there someday — as soon as he’s old enough to appreciate its sacredness.

Before I had my son, I never dreamed of baseball stadiums. But nowadays I share your dream of taking my son to Fenway Park, just to share that experience with him. Funny, how kids change you. Carolina’s last blog post..Today’s Tip: Vacation Rhymes With Education

What great recommendations from everyone!

Debra – thanks for the fun fact about the wall.

Bridget – I’ve heard about those books from other people – thank you for reminding me of them as I think Tommy will love them.

L.R. – GREAT tips. I absolutely adore Mike’s. IMHO they have the best cannolis in the world.

I was in Boston with 2 boys (age 6 & almost 4) in March 09. We took the T to Fenway Park but didn’t take the tour because it was limited due to construction at the time. Loved riding the T! Kids ride free btw. Our Best of Boston list includes: riding the Water Taxi from the airport to our friend’s apt in the North End (but recommend the water taxi for other places like the USS Constitution & from the North End to the wharf near the Children’s Museum). The North End Church has a short historical presentation that held the attention of my 6 year old. Mike’s Pastry was our regular morning treat stop since we stayed on Hanover St.

Had to stop by and suggest the best kids and baseball books I have ever read. Dan Gutman writes a series of historical fictional books about famous baseball players Jackie and Me, Babe and Me, etc. They are so interesting, teach kids a lot about baseball, and most importantly get boys reading. I think they are written at about a fourth grade level. Moms of boys...ck them out! Bridget’s last blog post..Photo Friday: Where the Wild Things Are!

Ahh...Fenway. Great post. Dave and I took the boys there two years ago and the game was tremendous. The tour beforehand was a special treat. Did you know there's a tiny door in the Green Monster? The person who manually updates the scores sits inside. Our tour guide said it's a sought-after position, though I can't imagine sitting in that unairconditioned closet!
