Plenty of Fun This February along the South Shore Line

Now that the holidays are behind us and a new year is upon us, there is still a lot going on in the Region. Don’t let the cold dissuade you from venturing out along the South Shore Line in search of fun things to do!

Whether you walk from the station, ride your bike, or take a cab or Uber, the South Shore Line can get you to hundreds of events taking place throughout the month of February and the best part: up to three kids can ride free with an accompanying adult.

Take a look at some of what we found for family fun along the South Shore Line and if we missed something, let us know with a comment or an email to share@ideasinmotionmedia.com and we’ll add to this list!
