“Baby Boomers,” born in two decades after World War II (1944-1964), are approaching retirement age yet are probably the most active and assertive generation to reach that milestone. Not only still kickin' but enjoying life, Baby Boomers look for active rather than passive pursuits when traveling.
What better way is there to identify 20 Fun Activities for Baby Boomers in Boston than to ask some Baby Boomers who live there? As a former Bostonian of the Baby Boomer generation, I asked some friends who still live there for recommendations for fun Baby Boomer activities in Boston.
Christine Tetreault recommended the Boston Harbor Hotel summer concert series. These concerts are held weeknight evenings near the waterfront. The schedule for the summer of 2008 can be found here. Soul, swing and blues fill the Tuesday through Thursday night schedules while Fridays offer movies by moonlight.
Visitors with literary inclinations will find the best visiting authors at Porter Square Bookstore and PaperBack Booksmith in Coolidge Corner, Brookline.
Enjoying the active lifestyle that is typical of Baby Boomers, Christine finds fun in going sailing or canoeing at the waterfront and jogging. Community Boating is a well established outlet for renting boats on the Charles. Christine's jogging trail recommendations can be found here.
Dave Burk responded to my initial email inquiry asking him to suggest fun activities for Baby Boomers in Boston with typical sarcasm, “Drinks at the metamucil bar?” I could hear his familiar growl in the words, even without sound.
We are on the young side of the Baby Boomer generation, so perhaps the label didn't sit well. After some coaxing, Dave recommended a nearby out-of-town concert series, the Lowell Concert Series. The link to this season's offerings can be found here.. Dave noted that walks in the Middlesex Fells Reservation in nearby Melrose are also increasing in popularity for fun-seeking Baby Boomers in Boston. Middlesex Fells is a place for scenic hiking with challenge levels from easy to difficult. Mountain biking is permitted at Middlesex Fells. There is also a variety of unusual flora and intriguing fauna to observe while meandering along the trails.
Of course, there are also those universal pursuits that appeal to all ages, although perhaps Baby Boomers can better afford them and opt for the box seats in lieu of bleachers. Popular spectator sports include the Red Sox, Revolution and Celtics.
No Baby Boomer herself, Glenna McPartland is not even old enough for Generation X. But, as an observer of her Baby Boomer parents and their friends, she noted that Boston Baby Boomers flock to theaters, from traditional to Shakespeare to the Boston Ballet to Improv Boston and tons of community theater and avant garde new works at Playrights Platform. The Boston Symphony is also popular with Boston Baby Boomers, Glenna says.
The Museum of Fine Arts offers studio art classes and art lectures for Baby Boomers who have exhausted the exhibitions.
Friends report that Boston Baby Boomers Paul and Erin, on vacation and not available to participate in this survey, have enjoyed cooking classes recently. Terence Janericco, Helen's Kitchen, The Cambridge School of Culinary Arts, and Sweet Basil's all offer single class sessions, perfect for Baby Boomers with a variety of culinary tastes who happen to find themselves in Boston.
Fine dining is also a favorite fun activity for Baby Boomers in Boston, from summertime open air cafes to the plentiful seafood restaurants for which Boston is rightfully famous. Of course, those who prefer other cuisines will also find myriad choices. Though her credentials are somewhat suspect (she's from Chicago), Associated Content content producer Christine Bude has recommended fine French and Italian restaurants in Boston whose quality is substantiated by locals.
Finally, those Baby Boomers who didn't get enough of childhood (and are still aghast at how quickly the years passed) might take a gander at this list of fun kids' activities in Boston. For the Baby Boomers are kids at heart and will likely enjoy many of the alluring activities that excite the younger generation.
