Ninth Stop: Beantown, America’s Walking City, City of Notion
The ninth stop on our weekly adventure is Beautiful Boston, Massachusetts! This city, Bountiful with a mix of history and new world fun, is a Brilliant destination for people of all ages! This Bustling hub the the perfect place to start our next trip!
1) Open Night at the Observatory
Coit Observatory at Boston University hosts Open Nights on most Wednesday evenings throughout the year. This interactive Astrology experience starts promptly at 7:30pm during the fall and winter, and 8:30pm during the spring and summer (the changes in time correspond to the different day-length pattern of the seasons).
During this one hour program, you can come observe the night sky through telescopes and binoculars and see things you otherwise might not get to see with the naked eye, while learning some Astrology along the way! The beautiful views of the stars (and during different times of the year, even planets!) makes this a must see, and a perfect way to end a busy day.
2) Codzilla
Open May though October, this unique boat ride is a mix of a Splash Mountain and water skiing. It's a bit diffcult to explane beyond that, so I'll let this video do most of the talking...
The boat takes you on a high speed ride along the Boston Harbor is it is less of a sightseeing activity, and more of a pure thrill ride. The blaring music and unapologetic disclaimer sets the tone for an action packed 40 minutes! (Luckily, free waterproof bags and ponchos are available on board.) You're in for a wild ride!
3) Escape the Room
You have 60 minutes to escape the room, or you're locked in forever!
Well not really, but this is the idea of the interactive game, Escape the Room, located in the West area of Boston. While it looks like any other ordinary room, it’s actually a mystery puzzle.You are locked in with 10 other peolpe, and to get out, you must find the hidden objects, figure out the clues and solve the puzzle. The idea is a the feeling high pressure team work environment that forces you to work closely with those around you.
There are two options, The Office (where you're stuck in a work environment, the horror!) or The Dig (you're underground and need to get back to the surface, equally as terrifying).
Don't worry though, if you don't solve it, you're still let out after your hour is up (but don't feel bad, only 20% of people are able to gain their freedom within the time)!

| The Dig Room |
First time I've had a chance to stop by your blog, nice job! I've done Escape the Room in Philadelphia and I always tell people it is the best $30 I ever spent! We did The Office and couldn't escape. The Codzilla sounds like lots of fun too I would love to give it a shot some time.
