The gardens were very pretty. We walked through the entire thing. We had to bypass the swan boats though because there were about 10 field trips going on and they were all in line to ride. The frog pond was closed as well. I would say, if you are walking through Boston to definitely walk through, but it was nothing...

I was staying at the Four Seasons Boston which is just across from this park and on a break from work I took a nice long walk around the park. It was just lovely. The ducks with their ducklings were out on the lawn by the pond and the flowers were just beautiful. This is a great place for a...

Boston is a wonderful city to walk around in and the Public Garden and adjoining Boston Common make it even more pleasant. Lovely places and well maintained.

This public park is amazing! It's beautiful and pristine and you will completely forget you are sitting in the middle of a loud, crowded city. Be sure to bring some bread or crackers to feed those ducks, and if you go in the spring you might see the swans on their nest with their eggs! Gorgeous place.

In the middle of the bustling city is this place of ducks, tulips, squirrels, kids' laughter, swan boats, dog walkers and quiet...A great escape from the shopping, business and busyness of life!

The gardens are very grassy with...

This garden was really superb with many ducklings, swans and squirrels roaming around. It was nice and peaceful. Visited the place in the morning where it was nice and chilly and really quiet. Though located next to the much larger Boston Common, this garden was a lot more beautiful with a nice lake in the middle with ducks swimming around.

Lots of activities to see and do especially for families. Although it had been raining, didn't appear to deter the crowds. We started Freedom Trail from this location.
