Buy Boston CityPASS Before December 15 to Take Full Advantage of Winter Special

For those of you who live within an easy drive or train ride of Boston, CityPASS Winter Special is a budget-solution to visiting the city’s top-drawer attractions -- with a seasonally longer period to use the tickets. Booklets are normally valid for nine calendar days. But this winter, purchase on or before December 15, 2009 and you can use the tickets, one by one, over any of 76 days – until February 28, 2010.

That means when the kids have a day off school, you have a ready-made plan to visit the aquarium together. Over the holidays, you can take your parents to the JFK Presidential Library. Meet your friends for lunch and a ramble through the fine arts museum. Or get a couple for last-minute Christmas gifts.

The price is right. Boston’s cultural beauties are strung on a 76-day chain. Buy now and pick dates later.
