Summer Fest, our annual salute to summer kicks off Memorial Day weekend and lasts through Labor Day weekend featuring activities that are fun for the whole family. The adventure begins with complimentary iced tea and lemonade with fresh baked cookies in the lobby and children are greeted with a coloring book and scavenger hunt upon check-in. From there the possibilities are endless from kid’s culinary cooking classes to scenic boat tours along the Charles River. Summer Fest invites you to take advantage of the beautiful Boston weather with even more outdoor activities this year!
