As if the New England Aquarium, Boston Common, Faneuil Hall, Freedom Trail, and Boston Children's Museum weren't enough reasons to bring the family to Beantown, here's something else to tempt you. Through April 5, the Renaissance Boston Waterfront Hotel is offering a Kids Just Wanna Have Fun package that includes:
- accommodations in a room with one king bed or two double beds (normally $199 for this category)
- room-service delivery of root beer floats for the family (4 x $8 = $32)
- tickets for two adults and two children to the Boston Children's Museum (2 adults x $12 + 2 kids x $9 = $42 value)
- free dining for kids under 12 at the 606 Congress restaurant with two paying adults (for breakfast, lunch, and dinner for two kids, let's say it's worth $100 )
- in-room movie (worth about $11)
- use of the health club and lap pool (always free to guests, so no added value)
Deal or no deal? Sign us up! By our calculations, it would cost $384 to purchase the elements in this package separately. When we did a pricecheck for several weekends in March, the quoted rate was $229 a night. So this deal delivers an impressive $155 of added value.
To take advantage of this promo, you need to book at least 72 hours in advance. If you bring a car, there is also a $41-a-night valet parking fee. You can book online or call 800/235-6426 and be sure to mention promo code FML.
