Reply to comment by hdiggyh in Bringing my mom to Boston for the first time late March; she just turned 65 and it’s her dream to see a hockey game! I’ve never been to Boston in winter; any suggestions for what we can do to show her the best time? Interests in comments by no_tori_ous

Just want to second this, even if you're not an art person go to the Isabella Stewart Gardener museum. There's no other museum like it.

Even if not an Art person, there's plenty to see in the MFA too - statues & other relics from Antiquity.

I agree the MFA is cool, but I'm about as not an art person as there is and I still think the Isabella Stewart Gardener is absolutely a must see above the MFA.

...but maybe that's just because I definitely am a plant person

The Gardner ‘museum’ is exceptional. It’s an amazing experience and I’d budget several hours. Adding my vote

Well, I've never gone to the ISG; I guess I'll have to correct that someday. :)
