Things to do with little kids in Falmouth MA besides the beach

Things to do with little kids in Falmouth MA - Heritage Museum and Gardens

My parents live in Falmouth, MA on the Cape, so we spend a lot of time dow there in the Summer. Of course the beaches are great, my personal favorite is Old Silver in North Falmouth, though I haven’t been in years.

Surprisingly, we don’t actually spend much time at the beach as a family. Its a whole to do, getting everyone ready, working around nap time, bringing enough food and keeping the water cold, hauling the beach toys and chairs and towels the most annoying part–parking. So, if we do go to the beach, we go after the lifeguards and parking attendants leave.

Luckily, Falmouth and the surrounding area has tons of other fun things to do with kids, besides going to the beach.

The best family photos location in Boston: The Arnold Arboretum - mom and little boy in front of interesting tree in the arboretum on peter's hill

Did you know that 95% of the outdoor photos you see on my website and social media were taken in the Arnold Arboretum? Aside from the fact that its a 5-10 minute drive from my house, there are so many reasons that I think the Arnold Arboretum is the best family photos location in Boston (and outdoor maternity photo sessions.) Here are somethings I look for in outdoor shooting locations and why I prefer the Arnold Arboretum for outdoor photos in Boston again and again.
