Top 14 things to do and attractions in Boston

St. Botolph's Church, also known as the Boston Stump, This historic (14th century) church boasts an impressive tower that offers stunning views of the surrounding Lincolnshire countryside. The interior is equally captivating, with beautiful stained glass windows and a serene atmosphere. The church is steeped in history, making it a fascinating place to explore.

Beautiful stunning church. Had a great walk around. Lots to see. I tried the labyrinth which is meant to focus your thoughts and calm your mind. The stained glass windows were exquisite. I noticed a rain puddle seeping through the elegant roof. That’s probably an ongoing problem with such a majestic building of a certain age. Well worth a visit. I forgot to mention they also give away free daily bread for those in need.

Sat and had a coffee, very peaceful and welcoming place. Even walked up the steps to get to the top of the stump! safe to say I won’t be doing that again 🤣 great experience!

Impressive landmark. Loved the approach to turn the church into a communal space. Cafe, shop, Lego builders, match modelling all in one place! I was surprisingly touched! And the two moral officers photos! Cherry on the top! Carry on Community!

A lovely church and well worth the energy used to climb the stump(tower). Fabulous views from the top.

Locally known as The Boston Stump bit different from the usual Cathedrals but lovely

It's a beautiful church from both outside and inside. Definitely worth a visit.

Although we didn't go up the mill, we did buy flour and some jams that they sold. The proprietor is very open and friendly. We enjoyed a good conversation around mills and milling heritage. Thanks!

You won't find many like it!! One of the tallest working mills in England. It is very well looked after by two of the loveliest people you can meet. James and Richard work tirelessly to keep the mill running and still producing flour. We were very lucky to have the opportunity to not just visit the mill, but to lodge in one of the little houses by the mill. Richard showed us inside the mill, and told us the history of it. It is very interesting to find out how this mill still keeps on working, and also the struggles they face to maintain it running.

Entry is £4 per person and the visit turned out to be more of an adventure than expected. There are several floors to explore, each getting smaller as you ascend, and reaching the top feels like an achievement. A break halfway up on the outside balcony was a lovely touch with great views. Inside the mill is very floury and cobwebbed — expect to get a bit dusty! The steep steps mean suitable shoes are a must. Children aren’t allowed inside, which makes sense given the many gaps and drop points. The owner was very informative, providing us with details and a handout, though there are no signs inside as it’s still a working mill. At the end you can buy flour or souvenirs from the shop. Handy parking is available right out front.

Excellent mill visit, worth climbing the ladders to the top, and seeing how the mill works. Also an opportunity to buy the grain milled on site.

Great look in to the traditional flour mill process, would highly recommend & have a chat with the owners very knowledgeable and keen to keep it all going.

What an absolute treat! A beautiful windmill and so very interesting being able to study the mechanism and workings out. And very reasonably priced flour etc in the shop. I can’t wait to try my porridge oats 😁

Maud Foster Mill, located in the charming town of Boston, Lincolnshire, is a remarkable testament to the area's milling heritage. This fully operational, five-sailed windmill offers visitors a captivating journey back in time, showcasing the beauty and ingenuity of traditional windmill craftsmanship. Maud Foster Mill also houses a charming tearoom, where visitors can indulge in delicious homemade treats and enjoy a well-deserved break. The tearoom's cozy atmosphere and friendly service complemented the overall experience, providing a delightful spot to relax and soak in the mill's ambiance. It's worth noting that the mill's operational schedule may vary, as it is dependent on wind conditions. However, even if the sails are not turning, the knowledgeable volunteers are always available to provide informative tours and share the mill's history, ensuring an enriching experience regardless of the wind conditions.

This museum is so interesting and also free! While we were visiting the area, we were curious to learn more about the city of Boston and also its linked with the city in Massachussetts in the US. Boston Guildhall is a museum where you can learn about both of the cities and the linked between the two. You can even see some historical objects and learn interesting facts. It's really the best thing to do in Boston!

We're so lucky to have this building in Boston. Amazing history and architecture and friendly informative staff.

Great old building to visit and understand a bit more about Boston's importance in History with the Pilgrim Fathers.

Most disappointing. We have followed the Pilgrim Fathers trail and this was to be the icing on the cake. So little to see compared to the Bassetlaw museum in Retford. The staff didn't appear to care whether we were there or not. Don't know what gift shop was referred to in a previous review. We had travelled over an hour to see this. Time and petrol wasted.

Lovely staff. The guildhall is definitely worth a visit

It was shui although notice on gate said it was open! Presumably it was closed because of coronavirus but there was no notice explaining this was the case. Wasted journey to Boston.

Amazing day out learnt alot of local history, and a good gift shop too.

Well mantained and clean park with loads of sitting places. My dog enjoyed the walk and the squarrel chase.

Since the skate park was opened its been full everyday from early morning till sunset. Fantastic to see so many young ones enjoying themselves as well as families with young children enjoying the park. Even tiny tots are having a go which is brilliant. I would have liked to have seen a ramp or something separate for the little ones to practice on as it must be very daunting for them to pluck the courage to go straight on with so many older children whizzing past. Having said that, the older ones do seem to stand to one side to make way for the little ones. A brilliant facility. I just wish there could be more of them in every park and playing field. Kids need to have something to do. Its proving very popular indeed. Well done Boston Council.

Beautiful open space. Plenty of blanket picnic area. Children's play area in good condition and a fair size skate park. Photos of things I found in the grounds.

A beautiful and well maintained park. A place to relax and enjoy the greenery. A good place to spend some quite time with your loved ones.

I visited on the annual bike night which was good for a local event with approx 2000 attendees and a small selection of motorcycle related sellers.

While I used to Enjoy the place during my childhood, I mostly walk around the area when playing Pokèmon Go, there's plenty of pokestops 😅😅

This is a nice park surrounded by some nice buildings. It is however over run with lots of inconsiderate local teenagers littering the place with bikes and litter and to top it off it appears that half of Romania has decided to treat the play area as their own back yard to smoke exotic herbs in. Not a particularly friendly place to be.

Really good day out lots of vintage items to enjoy, all staff there were very friendly! For five pounds each me and my partner really enjoyed it, it is fairly small and if you rush it you’d be in and out in 10 minutes but we took our time to read and enjoy everything. There’s also a cafe attached but we didn’t try this so couldn’t comment on this, Definately worth a look if you enjoy a good trip down memory lane!

Our family of five recently visited the Bubblecar Museum while on holiday and had a delightful experience. Entry was very affordable at just £5 per adult and £1 per child. The museum featured an impressive collection of interesting cars and nostalgic items from the 1950s. A knowledgeable guide enriched our visit, offering insightful explanations about the exhibits. The gift shop had a lovely selection of reasonably priced items, and the café provided good value refreshments. Overall, it’s a charming little museum perfect for a family outing and something a bit different. Staff were lovely, add this to your todo list!

I came across this place after driving through New York NrBoston. I found this small but well put together museum. Some really interesting vehicles. It also has a cafe serving refreshments along with cakes sausage rolls ect.

Excellent museum and very friendly owners Loads of interesting cars, vintage interiors & items, plus you can get a ride in a bubble car too! Also great value ... only a fiver for adults and I think 2 quid for kids and *Dog Friendly*. Cafe good, We had 2 coffees, toasted sandwiches and a slice of cake for 13£.. Fantastic.

Today we visited the bubblecar museum with my family and it was a good experience. You can have a good time seeing old cars, motorcycles, it has old items that were used in homes. The staff is very friendly and the surroundings are very beautiful. A different activity and a place that I recommend visiting if you are around.

A bit scruffy, the place hadn't been dusted or hoovered in years, but a great selection of micro cars, plus some bikes and period dressed rooms. Small carpark but we found space and only a fiver to get in!! A bargain!

A very interesting collection of motor vehicles of the past, many more than expected, the museum is actually larger than we thought. There are several three-dimensional replicas of historical scenes, like a mechanic shop, and a few windows with car models. There is also a second floor with other scenes and cars. Really worth a visit.

Peaceful newly planted forest. Lots of Birch trees. Popular with dog walkers. Nice views with the stump in the distance. Paths are wide and clear. Not muddy so suitable for all footwear. Nice on a clear day. Has some benches dotted about if you want a rest or to relax.

My goodness it was cold n windy on the day we visited but still enjoyed the walk around. Lots of Robins and bluetits flying around a kestrel looking for her dinner . Its generally flat and the walking routes are clear and stable to walk on. An absolute abundance of seats to sit on during your walk which was great for me with a dodgey ankle. Deffinately worth a walk round will be stunning in the summer ☀️

Really lovely woods with lots of nature to observe. A great place to walk in the summer as you get to see a bit of wildlife and there's plenty of open field. Though be careful if you're scared of dogs (or just don't like them) as many people have theirs off the lead and you often get greeted by them. A bit of an upside for me but could be a negative for those who aren't so keen on being sniffed and climbed on by stranger's dogs. You also occasionally get a whiff of ammonia from the chicken farm opposite but it does disappear in the wind.

Great for a walk and free parking

Lovely place to enjoy a walk. Ideal for dog walkers too. So peaceful with plenty of shade for those hot summer days. Very pleasant any time of the year, surrounded with lovely views of the country side with lots of sky and a flat horizon. You can also see Boston Stump in the distance. I love this place. It has lots of trails and paths you can follow with benches dotted around to sit down and enjoy the relaxing surroundings. I was very touched to see the memorial garden. What a lovely place to come and remember loved ones. Lots of birds, wild life and flowers. Such a pleasant place, especially early morning or at sunset with the sun shining through the trees.

Walk the dogs here and refresh yourself in the cafe. Great place to go, rain or shine; paved paths and outdoor covered area at the cafe.

Lovely new woods with a nice little coffee kiosk. Didn't even mind forgetting to take my own mug

Went here for my granddaughter's birthday, the children had a great time. Drink and food available, toilets available, as was plenty of parking. However you are allocated 1hr 45 minutes per slot to tidy/clean up before the next group arrive. When my son went up the tower to collect the youngest son he couldn't believe how filthy the whole thing was, so for that reason only 3 stars.

We normally love coming to this play area but it was so dirty and smelled so bad this time. There was rubbish and balls of thick dust all around the edges of the under 4 play area (most noticeable around the outside of the ball pit) and the entire under 4 area was covered in thick black grime. My childrens hands were actually filthy after their play today. And worst of all there was a really sharp, pungent rotting smell coming from within the area. One member of staff was asked by another parent to clean one of the small soft slides as it was so covered in something sticky and smelly. We waited over an hour for food which was so over cooked we couldn't eat it -it was like eating rocks. It is an awful shame and we won't be in a hurry to visit again.

7 adults and 3 children had an amazing time at the play towers today for a 70th . The manager is an amazing person. From ringing and booking bowling and soft play, he could not have been anymore friendly and helpful. 10 of us ate in the diner quick,delicious food served by helpful friendly staff. We will certainly come back-thank you so much xx

My grandson (18 months) really enjoyed the soft play area

The softplay is a really good place for all ages children, the staff are really polite and very helpful. The only thing that I would say, is the younger area for children under 4 - sometimes has children quite a bit older than this that go in, which doesn't seem fair on the littleuns. In my eyes, a staff member should be reminding parents to advise their children. The Bowling side, couldn't fault it one bit - recently took our 2.5 yr old for his first game and he loved it. The Manager was extremely helpful and kind. Highly recommended.

Great 👍, we arrived at 10:10 Saturday morning and had the place to ourselves for 15 minutes, kids loved it, and prices were reasonable

I would have given 0 stars for this but obviously I couldn't. Absolutely unbelievable how bad this place is. First of all, these time sessions are so stupid. I feel like I don't get my money's worth if I'm only allowed to stay for an hour and 45 minutes. Seating area wasdisgusting and so was the toilet. I needed to change my toddler there and felt like needing to throw up while in there. 0-4 area is very small, and more suitable for babies than toddlers, the door cannot be shut properly either.

It is next to a Small carpark down a very bumpy lane, there are good information boards and a very interesting blue metal sculpture a bit further up the walk way, which is wheel chair accessible. No toilets, there was an overflowing bin. Did some bird watching while there as it's next to the river which flows through Boston, I believe. What I did notice that there was a special nature bit in a field that said no entry and no dogs and I saw people walking their dogs of lead in that area 😡.... I have a dog but respect land owners /nature reserves wishes. I saw quite a lot of sensitive wildlife in the area. You can walk up the river side path (King Charles III walk) to Boston and the other way, down river... which we did for a while, and found a pill box. You can See the RSPB Frampton Marsh reserve on the opposite side of the river... Which we visited later , (it had a good cafe!) I did a litter pick while there, some are some dirty scumbags about!!

Be VERY careful down the last stretch. Hideously ruined tarmac to the extent where one part drives across a grass verge! Worth a visit for the peace, the story and overnight camping for free

Pilgrim Fathers Memorial is a very nice place to visit. The directions are shown on the way till here. Parking space available. The canal flow depends on high tide and low tide. Very nice place to ride bike. If you are coming late in the evening lots of rabbits, fox and deers are available to see. That will be a great experience for children.

A fantastic place to walk and picnic whilst listening to the birds and river. There's a wonderful memorial there to the Pilgrim Father's. Take the time to research them, learn our history.

A very interesting story about the pilgrims trying to leave England and new life in Holland and then eventually the USA

Fantastic walk along the river from Pilgrim Father's Memorial towards the wash. Shame the footpath signs don't tell you where they go! Mind the potholes on the lane leading to the car park!

Relaxing place. Good for dog walking, and watching the fishing boats return with the sunset. The memorial itself is a nice little monument dedicated to the pilgrim father's attempt to leave. Plenty of parking. The only downside is the narrow depleted road up to the parking area.

The show was great, and the theatre was full. Blackfriars is a lovely venue, though I don't feel it is accessible for people with mobility issues. It does have a stair lift for access to the theatre, but I couldn't see how that progressed into the seating area. Keep offering community theatre and doing what you are doing, especially for the younger people of the area.

Excellent venue. Small and intimate auditorium wiyh a nice bar!

So, rating the theatre itself, I have to say it's quaint, has a certain charm to it with it's age and structure. I've seen a few shows here now, mostly good with the exception of one....I wasn't alone in leaving at the half-time break either. The show "Cilla" was pretty awful 😖 Maybe Sheridan Smith just portrayed her so well, maybe the lady portraying her had an awful night.... BUT, speaking to people at the interval, they were pretty disappointed and also left, like us at half time. So for the overall Theatre and charm, it's a wonderful little place.... for the show "Cilla" or the other 4 shows being put on by the same company....I'd save your money and thank me for the review 😉

Brilliant fantastic show. All actors were great and some lovely singing too. Lots of different costumes too. Lovely little theatre for a night out. Seats a little cramped and not much leg room.

A great little local theatre with lots of great shows throughout the year. Also a great place to volunteer.

Great little local theatre. Went to the adult pantomime (oh yes we did) . Great show would recommend.

Very friendly and helpful staff, seats are comfy with plenty of leg room. It's a lovely little theatre where every seat has a great view of the stage.

Good place for reflection seating area with shepards bakery nearby and rubbish bins nearby for disposal very rarely troubled by other people well attended to by the local council

For anyone who has not seen the war memorial in the town centre it is a must see. There are so many plaques remembering so many campaigns etc. A definite place to visit and remember the sacrifices made

A very important focal point for the town. Unfortunately, it's also a focal point for Bostons plague of Eastern European street drinking scumbags.

Beautiful area to honour those killed in action

Very nice and clean space with nice night lights very quiet

Nice little rest stop after a days riding

Remembering those who gave their lives for the sake of the people #respect

Worth a quick stop if you’re nearby. The tower is closed, so you can only view it from the outside, but there’s an information board and you can walk around the ruins. No parking or facilities close by, so it’s more of a short visit than a destination.

Lovely little peaceful space, intriguing building with some interpretation boards

Hussey Tower…or what’s left of this handmade build, historical site.

When I first came to work and live to Boston, this place was the first I visited. Look at the pictures which are exposed and you will understand the importance of this tower. "Climb" the tower to the top and you will be able to see the river and the coming or going boats with goods. I gave this historical monument only 3 stars but they are for all of us, Bostoners of our days. Shame on us because the surroundings are full of rubbish, the grass is overgrown. What history do we show to our guests? Do they want to visit this place again? Could we clean this place, let's say at the beginning of April?

Interesting old 14th Century Tower. The approach and area around need a bit of TLC though.

went to this place, it was locked, smelled like urine and was overall a very bad experience.

It was locked. Surroundings are awful and needs more care. Tower is a ruine. It's pity that government doesn't care of its history.

Myself, my son and my friend went here today, we had a great time! Danielle and her husband are a lovely couple and her knowledge about these cheeky chaps is unreal! Thank you again Danielle. We will see you again

What a great experience!! Danielle was excellent at explaining everything to me and my mum. Danielle’s knowledge of alpacas and llamas is amazing! We both learnt so much about them and how wonderful they are! We also got to go in with llamas and horses on the farm, feed them etc! I would highly recommend the alpaca experience, such a good experience and a fun afternoon out! Thank you 🦙

I booked this alpaca walking experience as a birthday present for my Grandma. We both absolutely loved it. Danielle was very welcoming and knowledgeable. It is obvious that she loves all of her animals. The alpacas were very sweet, walked brilliantly and enjoyed being fed too! Thank you for a lovely afternoon.

A lovely unique experience. Was wonderful meeting and walking the alpacas. The llamas were lovely and friendly. Highly recommend 10/10

Amazing experience day!! Danielle was so informative, it made the day interesting and fun! Brilliant meeting the Alpacas and Lamas, the adults loved it as much as the kids!

Fabulous experience, Danielle is so knowledgeable about the alpacas and llamas and she takes some amazing photos off your time there. Well worth doing.

I went walking with Alpacas on Saturday 27th instant. I was partnered with Monty a black alpaca and off we went on the walk. He was a joy and I enjoyed the experience very much. At the end I was given a tub of carrots to feed not only Monty but his friends. Am thinking I would like to repeat the experience Maureen

A bit of constructive criticism. I visited for the first time today and booked both paddocks out due to a reactive dog. I planned on using the big one but ended up in the small one due to the big one not seeming secure enough and lots of hazards for my small dogs! The smaller paddock however was great for them:)

First time here I have to say it's wonderful my dog is so reactive I have never been able to let him off lead it's been so good for him

Excellent dog park, securely fenced and with hard standing for parking within the large paddock too. Well maintained, grass mowed regularly. Cabin with toilet facilities available. My dogs love it.

Our non profit community group Feathers Teens CIC is lucky enough to get use of this fantastic space regularly for outdoor activities and social events that benefit our members , made up of teenagers affected by neurodivergence and mental health, and their families. We are so grateful that we get this opportunity, it's a great space run by genuinely kind hearted and generous people.

Brilliant safe space for dogs to go to. It’s great if your dog doesn’t have 100% recall, they can run to their hearts content. Agility equipment there to use too. Bench’s to sit and watch your dog tire themselves out. Easy to book, friendly owners, definitely recommend

This place is so easy to book a slot online. My dog loves it here.

It's a big, safe area for dogs to run around - does the job!
