Celebrate Mother's Day in Boston!


If you’re lucky, you have a special person in your life to whom you’d like to show your appreciation on Mother’s Day. Whether this individual is your biological mother, adoptive mother, aunt, stepmother, grandmother, or a close friend, there are so many ways to show her you care this weekend. While a card and bouquet of flowers is a nice gesture, consider switching up your traditional Mother’s Day routine in favor of one of these thoughtful ideas sure to make this year’s celebration is truly memorable.

If your mother is visiting Boston from out of town, a dining experience at Top of the Hub is a fantastic way to give her a bird’s eye view of the beautiful skyline. The executive chef and his staff have prepared special Mother’s Day brunch and dinner menus that will be served from 11:00am-2:30pm and 3:30pm-9:00pm, respectively. Both menus include four-course prix-fixe menus that look absolutely delicious. Call Top of the Hub to make a reservation at 617-536-1775.

For a unique view of the city, take your mother on a cruise through the Boston Harbor aboard the Boston Odyssey. Mom will receive a flower on board and the entire family will enjoy themselves at the brunch or dinner buffet. Planned activities will keep the kids busy as adults sip a glass of champagne or a mimosa and listen to a live band set against the Boston skyline. Call Odyssey Cruises to make a reservation at 866-307-2469.

Our hectic lives can sometimes make it difficult to spend quality downtime with our loved ones. Take mom to Newbury Street this weekend for a day of shopping, pampering, and dining. This impressive eight-block promenade is lined with broad sidewalks and countless boutiques, salons, coffee shops and restaurants. Check out the history of Newbury Street before you go for an entirely new perspective on your favorite shopping district.

Celebrate your mother (and all of the animal mothers) at FranklinPark Zoo in Boston this Sunday. In recognition of all that our moms do for us, mothers will receive free admission throughout the day. Everyone will enjoy exploring the wildlife and seeing how resident mothers, such as the western lowland gorilla, Kiki, interact with their babies. Grab lunch at the Giddy-Up Grill and pick up something special for mom at the Things Wild Gift Shop before heading home.
