Another one of the best things to do in Boston in October is to visit one of the city’s many restaurants, where you can enjoy dishes infused with fall-inspired ingredients. To enjoy some classic fare of the New England region, head to Island Creek Oyster Bar to enjoy some butternut squash soup alongside a deliciously fresh lobster dish. Or, head to the city’s North End for dishes that put a seasonal flare on authentic-style Italian cuisine. No matter where you turn in the city, you’re sure to find a myriad of classic fall flavors to enjoy this fall.

3. Visit the Boston Public Market to See the 1,000 Pound Pumpkin

For a unique seasonal experience to check out in Boston this fall, head to the Boston Public Market. Each year, they bring the farm into the city with their pumpkin-filled festivities. One of the best parts of the festivities is getting the chance to spot the giant pumpkin that they transport into the market each year. This year, “The Offical Pumpkin of Boston” weighs in at an impressive 1,020 pounds, making it a true sight to see. On top of this unique display, the Boston Public Market will be infused with pumpkin-inspired festive cheer, with a pumpkin patch, pumpkin events, and over 30 vendors offering fall-flavored fare galore. 

4. Go on a Whale Watch out of the Boston Harbor 

We know that a whale watch might not be the first thing you think to do when it comes to fall. However, October is actually one of the best times of the year to spot these majestic animals out of the Boston Harbor. The city of Boston hosts a number of high quality whale watching tours, including the Boston Harbor Cruise Whale Watching. The boat’s three outside decks offer plenty of space to enjoy the crisp October air and spot some amazing Humpback Whales. Although not a quintessential fall activity, embarking on a whale-watching tour out of the harbor is uniquely one of the best things to do in Boston in October. 

5. Get Your Spook on with a Ghosts and Gravestones Tour 

A list of things to do in Boston in October would not be complete without some spooky Halloween-inspired fun. The city’s rich historic past lends itself to the extra spooky and festive aura during the month of October. One way to get your spook on this October in Boston is to partake in a Ghosts and Gravestones tour. You’ll set foot on a tour of Boston’s most haunted sites, visit a nearly 400-year-old burying ground, and hear all about the darker side of the historic city’s past. It’s a unique must-do October activity in Boston that will get you in the Halloween spirit!
