If you've already been to Castle Island, Winthrop or Thompson Island to view planes taking off and landing at Logan Airport, another great spot is Drydock Avenue. Take the Red Line to South Station then the Silver Line to Boston Marine Industrial Park, and get off on Drydock Avenue. Walk down to the end of the dock by the Harbor Patrol and you can see all kinds of aircraft landing and taking off. Logan is maybe a half mile away, at the most. Thanks to John Galligan, Arlington for this nugget.
From eclectic grown-up entertainments to kid-pleasing classics, the DayTripper Dispatches offer family-friendly day trips for families, vacationers, and travelers to Greater Boston and eastern Massachusetts. The Dispatches are a perfect complement to our wildly popular DayTripper print books, e-books, and GPS editions.
