1. Peddle Boat Boston Harbor
Beat the summer heat and put some movement in your feet whilst sipping on your beverage of choice. If you're in it for more than just the drinks and laughs, this escapade around the Harbor is a real treat with Captain Ed and his wife Rosie (your tour guides) sharing anecdotes about the waterfront's history. The more you know...

2. Lawn on D
This innovative, artistic outdoor venue is one of the Seaport's top gathering spots. Recharge on their iconic color-changing luminescent swings or take part in a host of team-building activities, from cornhole to pickleball. With live music and food trucks, the Lawn on D's rotating seasonal programming makes it the perfect spot for a casual outing under the sun or stars.

3. SPIN Boston
If you're looking for some competitive fun with co-workers, take a SPIN around the block to SPIN Boston. With a dozen ping pong tables lined up for the taking, this Fort Point venue features a variety of mini games around the bar and a live DJ playing 90s- modern R&B/Hip-Hop.

4. Puttshack
Even if your putting game needs some work, this tech-infused mini golf experience takes a modern approach to an otherwise generational sport. With screens guiding your next move, each ball is dispensed to your personal profile, allowing for easy scorekeeping and not so easy cheating (I'm looking at you, Deb), hence more time for friendly competition over cocktails and shareable plates.

5. Boston Grownups Museum
This summer marks a Return To Office and the long-awaited return of a fan-favorite here in the Seaport: Grownup's Night at the Boston Children's Museum. At this quarterly event for the 21+ crowd, adults take over the Children's Museum with drinks, bubbles, dancing, climbing, and more.

6. Leader Bank Pavilion
One of Boston's only outdoor live music venues is right here in the Seaport, and this summer's lineup has something for everyone: from rock and country, to reggae tunes and throw backs. We'll be checking out Barenaked Ladies, Counting Crows, Phil Lesh & Friends, Lee Brice, and the Revivalists.

7. Harpoon Brewery Tour
Before craft beers were cool (or snobby) Harpoon Brewery anchored itself in the Seaport. Thanks to a recent renovation, Harpoon now features not only great beer, cider, and food, but also a range of activities including pickleball, shuffleboard, and cornhole. Private functions are always welcome and the famous soft pretzels are a must-try.

8. Cisco Brewers Seaport
This taste of the islands is hard to miss, with live music from local artists echoing throughout the outdoor beer garden and a range of lawn games. Cisco Brewer's tailgate-style staple of a popup has several kitchens offering traditional New England seafood, sushi, tacos, award-winning wine, and craft beer. For the teams who aren't afraid of a crowd (and a line), there's no better spot in the Seaport to re-live the college glory days.
Breaking News: If you're not that into beer or wine, Cisco now has you covered with craft cocktails.

9. Harbor Islands Cruise
Looking to escape the concrete (glass) jungle without going too far? A scenic 30 minute ferry ride from Long Wharf to Spectacle or Thompson Island provides fresh air with unmatched City and ocean views. Once you arrive there's plenty to do, from museums to nature walks for people of all ages and abilities.

10. Flight Club Boston
The first rule of flight club is that you don't talk about flight club. Perfect for larger groups post-work, Flight Club features fast-paced games, craft cocktails, and shareable bites - all in your own playing area.
Pro-tip: Picture your least favorite co-workers face on the bullseye (but definitely keep it to yourself.)
