The 10 Best Fun Activities & Games in Downtown, Massachusetts (MA)

August 25, 2021 Marianna Hollaway

Walk the Freedom Trail the first time you visit Boston and you'll quickly get a sense of this coastal city's revolutionary spirit and history. But make sure you also explore some of Boston's fine museums (try the Isabella Stewart Gardner, featuring masterpieces displayed in their collector's mansion) and old neighborhoods (like the North End, Boston's Little Italy). You can't claim to have experienced real Boston culture, though, until you've watched a Red Sox game from the bleachers.

My husband and I have done quite a few escape rooms and this is one of the best - quite different, beautifully designed rooms and more of a puzzle solving experience than a traditional escape room. We did storyteller's secret and magicians study - both were excellent! highly recommend spending an hour or so here!

I simply cannot imagine enjoying a magic show more than I did Paul Gertner's. Before the show, I had watched all of Paul's appearances on Penn & Teller Fool Us on YouTube, and so I came in with pretty high expectations for the live show. Seeing Paul live blew my mind way more than I ever could have expected! He is an extremely nice person and readily involves audience members in breathtaking tricks, which is easily facilitated by the intimate (<20 people) setting. Getting to see Paul's extraordinary sleight of hand up close is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. Book your tickets now!!

Boston Hysterical Society

Comedy and amazing feats of mind reading and magic for grown up, especially professionals and groups.

Reviewed By sarah_business

Peter performed his mind-reading show for our past clients and referral partners, and everyone was very impressed. Not only was he very responsive when booking him, but he was flexible and extremely accommodating to whatever we needed. The night of the event, when we had no access to a sound system, he showed up well prepared with his own microphone. From start to finish he had the audience captivated and laughing. Since the event I have not only received numerous compliments but also was asked for his contact information. He was energetic, engaging and If you are looking for a fun addition to a corporate or appreciation event he’s a must have!

Mind Reading Confidential

In Mind Reading Confidential, Jon Stetson shares fun and intimate thoughts from the minds of his audience. He reveals stories that are outrageously funny, or even beautifully heart warming, and every demonstration is amazing. Stetson was the inspiration for the CBS hit television series “The Mentalist”. He blends the art of Mystery with the study of Psychology, the predictability of human nature and the power of intuition, with a disarming sense of humor. The result is slack jawed amazement, where the most skeptical of audience members begin to feel a renewed sense of wonder as impossibilities become realities. Mind Reading Confidential takes place in Boston's historic Omni Parker House hotel, the longest continuously operating hotel in the United States.

It was a fun-filled event in an intimate setting on a cold evening. The show was way more interactive and enjoyable than I had anticipated. Jon Stetson has a great sense of humor and knows how to keep his audience captivated.

Was strolling past in early morning and there was this wonderful treasure of a carousel. Not like the ones with the tired old horsies, this was alive with all manner of land and sea creatures. Hawk, fish, butterflies, and more. Very well done, very bright and colorful. I am sure that the kids will love this one, and it is just a few dollars to ride. Nice addition to the area.
