Spread over a land area of 24 acres the Boston Public Garden lies next to the Boston Common. The garden is known for its four-acre pond and beautifully crafted plantings. The pond plays home to a few swans during the summer months and is known for its Swan Boats which is one of the most well known tourist attractions of the city. The Swan Boats allow tourists to enjoy a ride across the lake in swan shaped boats.
