5 Wits Tomb, Boston, MAThere is no better place in America to spend St. Patrick’s Day than in Boston, with its large Irish-American community. The St Patrick’s Day Parade has been winding its way through South Boston for over 200 years now. Come see the massive parade and celebrate the Irish culture of the ‘South Side’ neighborhood. While in Boston for St. Patrick’s Day, make time to see some of the city’s unique attractions like the IMAX Theatre and the 5-Wits Tomb.

5-Wits Tomb
  
Test your craft and cunning with a team in the 5-Wits Tomb, as you participate in an immersive, interactive adventure to unearth hidden treasures. As you negotiate through your challenge, special effects such as thick fog, computer generated lightning, and stereo sound will enhance the experience. Success is not certain, and if your team fails you may incur the wrath of the pharaoh. This interactive adventure is sure to thrill you at every suspenseful turn!

Simons IMAX Theatre Admission
 
Enjoy a sight and sound explosion at the colossal six-story Simons IMAX Theatre. Here you may descend deep into the ocean on the ‘Aliens of the Deep 3D’ adventure or come face to face with a giant shark in ‘Sharks 3D’. The IMAX will put you up close to some of the most interesting animals in nature for a truly riveting encounter!

    St. Patrick’s Day is my bday. :) It would be cool to visit the 5 Wits Tomb. I’ve always wanted to visit Boston and planned on going to college there back when I thought I wanted to be an engineer, lol.

    Oh! I love St. Patrick’s Day Parades, They are so awesome! all the people dressed up like Irish men, woman and you get candy. Everyone has Bar B Qs I would love to go and learn about the South side.

    The 5-Wits tomb sounds like it would be really fun. I would love to go there.

    My birthday is the day before St. Patricks! If I were in Boston I would definately hit up these two attractions to celebrate my Birthday.

  5. Laura says:

    I love Boston and am going back in 2012 and I can’t wait. Out of all the places I have been to Boston and Washington D.C. are tied as my favorites!

  6. Jennifer says:

    My birthday is the day after St. Patricks! I think it would be a great place to celebrate my birthday.. IMAX would be awesome!

    st. patricks day happens to be one of a few holidays that i dont do anything for. excepet wear green so no one pinches me.

    Boston seems like it would be the ultimate place to be on St. Patrick’s Day. Well besides Dublin, Ireland that is. I think South Boston would have lots of nice Irish pubs to hit after the parade where you can mix it up with the locals.

    I love St Patty’s day. I however have never thought of going to Boston around that time. I love to travel around that time of year, since my birthday is the day after. This irish girl might have to take a trip to Boston.

    I just want to go to Boston to say I have been outside of Texas. Boston has lots of cool things to do?

  11. Sarah says:

    Wow! Lots of birthdays around St. Patty’s Day. Is there a reason that St. Patrick’s Day is such a big deal in Boston? Just curious.

    Robert–Never been outside of Texas?? It sounds like you need to get out more often. There’s a whole world out there.

  12. Keith says:

    I think St. Patrick’s Day is a big deal in Boston because it has the largest ethnically Irish Community in the United States. Well, New York City probably technically has more Irish descendant people, but Boston has a higher percentage of them and they are more concentrated in a specifically self-conscious Irish neighborhood. So outside of Ireland itself, South Boston is probably the most Irish place in the world.

  13. Elizabeth Williams says:

    I always wanted to go the St Patty Day parade there.

  14. Hannah says:

    Boston would be so much fun to go to on St Patricks’s day. There would be so much culture to it…rather than just everyone wearing green. And the 5-Wits Tomb looks really cool.

  15. doug says:

    I have heard alot about the 5-Wits Tomb. I have heard it is pretty cool.
