Boston Staycation Packages – February Recess Ideas for 2010

Not even back on the grind a month and already some school districts have recess in their eyes. Here in Texas we don’t have that. You’ve got your winter break, your spring break and that’s it! This whole “February Recess” that some states do is downright scandalous.

Massachusetts has a February Recess coming up, and families looking for a little mini-vaykay (or staykay) are looking toward the epicenter of family entertainment: Boston, Massachusetts. Here are some Boston staycation ideas and packages for February Recess in 2010.

New England Aquarium
One of the best and certainly most attended aquariums in the nation, Bostonians and other area residents are lucky to have the New England Aquarium on their doorstep. On the world stage, the aquarium is known for its incredible contributions to conservation and the overall vision of modern aquaria, but as guests what you’ll really love is the more than 20,000 fascinating sea creatures that call the NEA home. Don’t miss our favorite, the “temporary since 2004″ Amazing Jellies exhibit. Why? Because jellyfish are awesome!

Boston Museum of Science
Another world-renowned institution in this historic city. Like the New England Aquarium, the Boston Museum of Science has a global reputation for the quality of its exhibits and a history tracing back to the beginning of modern science museums. More importantly, they always have something new to see. The current exhibit, running through the end of February Recess in fact, is “Harry Potter: The Exhibition“. Advanced reservations recommended.
