One of the best things about living in New England is the abundance of things to do with kids. The area is simply awash in family fun – from beaches, hiking trails, and ski areas to zoos, museums, and historical sites. It would be easy to fill a year’s worth of weekends with local excursions and day trips of all stripes. That’s the idea behind BRING THE FAMILY, a different sort of family-friendly guide to attractions. In this unique book, which collects the best of the first four years of the Globe’s popular “Bring the Family” column, the paper’s writers visit 52 of their favorite spots with their own kids. Whether in Boston’s most revered institutions or in the great outdoors, these suggestions guarantee fun for all ages, in all seasons.
