Boston Kid Friendly was made as a resource to serve the city. It’s a guide for both local and visiting families to utilize and make the most of the everyday opportunities the city offers.
Listen to the backstory of Boston Kid Friendly
Did you know that the cover art for individual episodes shows which color MBTA lines the stop covers? It’s an easy, portable solution to having the information you need at your fingertips. Download episodes to access even when you don’t have data or an internet connection.
Charlie is our mascot. You will see pictures of a Boston terrier on top of the MBTA map… that’s Charlie. But Charlie is also a nickname we have for our go bag. We also have a fun Boston Kid Friendly mascot t-shirt with Massachusetts as its nose.
Before you head out on #AdventuresWithCharlie
Put together a Public Transportation Go Bag to make sure that while you’re exploring Boston with kids, that you don’t get caught without the things you need. But even if you do forget something, we’ll let you know the closest place to stock up on emergency goods in each episode.
How to use the podcast and video series
We are taking the T from the center and making a clockwise spiral outward… with a few exceptions. We don’t want to do Revere Beach when it’s snowing or spend beautiful days inside.
- Every episode is on YouTube, iTunes, Facebook, and wherever you listen to podcasts.
- We have a special group where you can ask questions, share events, and be a part of a Boston Parenting Community! (Yes, even if you’re visiting, you can join while you’re here to get help as needed)
- All episodes will include:
- A place to eat
- A place to play
- A point of interest
- A close grocery store or establishment for emergency necessities.
- Cover art indicating which lines are covered.
