Here are some ideas for Boston “Mother’s Day” activities in the Boston area:
Take Our Food Tours!
We are running lots of fun guided food and chocolate tours during Mother’s Day weekend including a Harvard Square Chocolate Tour or Central Square Food Tour. Woohoo! More tours are being opened soon. Check out these Boston Mother’s Day activities. Still spots open on our Friday night and Saturday afternoon chocolate tours. And you can also give her a gift certificate for a future tour!
Mother’s Day Mimosa Cruise
This is an interesting cruise that you could do in Kendall Square the day after our Food Tour. This 90 minute cruise on the Charles River lets you see sights of sailboats, MIT, BU, Beacon Hill, and other iconic sights. You can depart from CambridgeSide Mall, and there’s a full bar on board as well as snacks for purchase. A day lunch cruise in Boston and a day brunch cruise in Boston.
Alice’s Table Floral Arranging Classes
While this company has gone mostly virtual, that could work out great if you’re trying to do a leisurely holiday at home or just gift for the future. There’s a whole calendar of events around Mother’s Day from this really interesting company that teaches guests how to make gorgeous floral arrangements. I remember one of my favorite birthday parties growing up was a floral arranging class, and this looks really elegant and fun.
Sip & Script
Maybe calligraphy is more your jam? I’ve always wanted to learn calligraphy, and this could be just the place. I am eyeing the event on May 9th at Moldova Restaurant in Newton, MA.
Tulip Picking
Check out nearby Wilson Farm in Lexington for their PYO tulip event. The tulips we picked lasted weeks in our vase. Then grab some of their delicious biscuit chicken pot pie and a salad and make an easy dinner al fresco for mom. A nice Boston Mothers Day!
Lilac Sunday at the Arnold Arboretum
Greater Boston also represents for Moms — in which one of the premier collections of lilacs in the world is on display and celebrated. 45-minute tours are also available but you can also wander through the lilacs on your own.
Whatever you do, we hope you enjoy yourself.
Happy almost-summer!
