Spring is the perfect time to get outside, explore something new, and enjoy the warmer days ahead. For MTA members, the season also brings opportunities to visit unique destinations while taking advantage of exclusive savings. From blooming gardens to exciting outdoor adventures, here are a few fun ways to make the most of spring.
Spring Blooms at a Botanical Garden
A visit to the New England Botanic Garden at Tower Hill is a beautiful way to celebrate the season. Located on 200 acres in Boylston, this garden features conservatories, scenic walking trails and breathtaking views of the Wachusett Reservoir. The garden also hosts seasonal programs and special events for visitors of all ages. MTA members receive free admission.
Experience Whale Watching in Gloucester
Head to the coast for an unforgettable whale watching adventure with Cape Ann Whale Watch in Gloucester. MTA members can enjoy tours to Stellwagen Bank — a national marine preserve about 12 miles off the coast — for $40 (regularly $55). Known for guaranteed whale sightings, this experience offers the chance to see these incredible animals in their natural habitat. Tours take place on the Hurricane II, the largest and fastest whale watching vessel north of Boston, giving guests more time to see the whales at their feeding grounds.
Relax on a Scenic River Cruise
Enjoy the beauty of the coast with a cruise from Essex River Cruises & Charters in Essex. MTA members receive a $5 discount while cruising through the peaceful salt marshes of the Essex River. These cruises highlight local wildlife, regional history and the area’s scenic landscape. With charming restaurants, antique shops and cultural landmarks nearby, it’s a relaxing way to spend a spring day.
Zip and Climb in the Treetops
For those wanting an active outdoor experience, The Adventure Park at Heritage Museums & Gardens in Sandwich is the place to be. MTA members and their families enjoy $47 adult general admission tickets to the aerial adventure park. Designed for ages 7 and up, the self-guided experience allows visitors to climb and zip line through five treetop trails, with nearly 60 platforms connected by bridges, ladders and zip lines. You can move at your own pace, making it a fun challenge for a wide range of abilities. Members also receive 10 percent off birthday party packages.
