What to do and see in Provincetown, Massachusetts (MA): The Best Things to do Good for Kids

October 6, 2021 Agatha Simes

Visit Provincetown and have a blast enjoying some of Cape Cod’s best beaches (Race Point Beach and Herring Cove Beach are favorites of TripAdvisor travelers). Plenty of cool boutiques, restaurants and art galleries give this town a fun and funky vibe. It’s an exceptionally LGBT-friendly destination as well. One tip: if it’s high season, take the ferry or a quick flight from Boston (unless you enjoy spending hours sitting in traffic).

Reviewed By ThawShay - Madison, United States

We were on the Cape almost a week, and this was our favorite activity. We rented e-bikes for a day, and rode the Province Land Trails, which helped a LOT (we would have otherwise been walking our bikes up the hills, without the e-bikes). We then rode through Provincetown, stopping for lunch, shopping and cocktails before returning the bikes at 6pm. SO FUN! The dudes at Provincetown Bike Rentals made it fast and easy.

Taking the route of the Pilgrims landing all starts here. The museum is well set up and sets the story with artifacts, and timeline and explanation of the first landing. Step outside and walk to the monument. If you are in better physical health to climb the steps to the very top, you will get a breathtaking 360 degree view and a sticker at the end of the adventure! The day we went there were gale force wind warnings and rain. It really brought home what those early settlers went through and how brave they truly were!

This reserve is a primary birdwatching region on Cape Cod.

Reviewed By capecodgary - North Truro, United States

Take a quiet stroll in the autumn or any other time around the pond in Beech Forest. A well maintained trail in a quiet beautifully scenic walk. Great place to walk.
