Staying in Massachusetts on a Budget

Massachusetts is one of the best places to visit on the east coast of the United States. With tons of historical monuments, recreational activities, and more, there is so much to do in the state that you’re bound to have a good time.

One thing that might be on your mind is the cost of the adventure. It’s no secret that the east coast can be a little more expensive when compared to other areas of the United State. Don’t worry! Here are a few tips and things to do to save money during your trip to Massachusetts.

Get the Boston CityPASS

If you’re in Boston and plan to visit some museums in the area, buying the CityPASS can help save tons as it bundles admission tickets for the New England Aquarium, Skywalk Observatory and other attractions at a discounted price.

Walk the Freedom Trail

The Freedom Trail stretches across the city of Boston into neighboring towns and is littered with historical monuments. The best part is that many of them are free to enter. So, if you’re a history buff and want to get up close and personal to national monuments, this is the perfect (and cheapest) opportunity!

Ride the Train

If you’re hopping along through cities along the east coast, you can save on air travel and gas money by taking the Amtrak train. This train serves many major cities on the east coast and will get you there fast and cheaply.

Float Along in a Swan

At the Boston Public Gardens, you and the entire family can hop into a swan boat and gently float through the beautiful area for only a few bucks. It’s a great way to spend an entire afternoon and is the perfect place for a picnic also!
