Hi all! My girlfriend's birthday is coming up soon and she wants to celebrate it together. Do you all have any good ideas of activities we can do here in Boston to fill up the day (or anywhere outside of the city)? I can't seem to come up with any good ideas since we are both outdoor / adventure seekers and most things like scuba diving, whale watching or kayaking are tough to do around this time here on the East Coast. Thank you all in advance for your ideas!

Go for a walk/hike in the Fells. It’ll keep you busy for as long as you want. I recommend bringing a backpack with a thermos for hot chocolate and some food to eat as you explore. There are nice 20 minute walks and longer “hikes” that can take up your whole day. (They’re not actually strenuous but definitely more than just walking)

Get yourself a bboy sandwich at Jim’s Market afterwards

Level 99, ax throwing, candlepin bowling, A4cade, lucky strike arcade, ice skating. If you have 3-5 people, Boda Borg.

Keep an eye on the list of "musical experiences" at the planetarium. We attended one recently on a suggestion from a poster here, and it was really cool and fairly cheap ($10). The selection of music seems to range pretty widely, so the chances of seeing something of interest might be decent.
