Best Free and Fun Things To Do in Boston with Kids January 2023 | MommyPoppins

With a New Year upon us, January is a great time for all kinds of free and fun things to do in Boston. While often the snowiest month of the year, there are awesome kid-friendly activities happening in and around Boston all month.

Boston is a marvelous city in any season, and January 2023 is no exception. Each day is getting a tiny bit longer, there are museum events, theater productions, and so many opportunities for outdoor activities. While the holidays are mostly over, the Zoolights at Stone Zoo will stay on until January 8, in case you’re not quite ready to let go of the sparkle. Suit up in hats, scarves, and long underwear for a New Year’s hike or outdoor ice skating with the family. January 2023 is also the right time for the Best Snow Tubing Near Boston. These chilly days are perfect for indoor fun too, like free robot-themed fun or Disney on Ice!
