NEW MUSEUM PASSES. We have a couple of new museum passes that might be of special interest to families. Boston By Foot runs fascinating walking tours in Boston, including Boston By Little Feet tours, especially designed for young walkers 6-12. Each pass provides member privileges for up to four persons on all regularly scheduled tours. The pass does not cover admission on the architectural boat tour. The Harvard Museum of Natural History is full of wonderful treasures, including the historic Great Mammal Hall, the Africa gallery, and the Glass Flowers. If you haven’t gone there, you should consider checking it out. The library also has passes to the Harvard Art Museums (the Fogg, the Sackler, and the Busch-Reisinger Museums). And don’t forget our Massachusetts State Parks pass, which allows free daytime parking for one carload of visitors to most Massachusetts State Parks that charge a parking fee.
