The walk from the North Bridge Visitor Center down to the historic wooden North Bridge spanning the Concord River is wide, gently graded, and easily traversed by strollers, wagons, or snow boots. Along the snow-blanketed Battle Road Trail, children can marvel at original stone walls, historic colonial homesteads, and Daniel Chester French's famous bronze statue of The Minute Man. The North Bridge Visitor Center provides heated indoor restrooms, junior ranger activity books, and educational exhibits. ## Similar picks in Boston - [deCordova Sculpture Park: Winter Outdoor Contemporary Art Stroll & Nature Trails](https://grassyknees.com/boston/activities/decordova-sculpture-park-winter-outdoor-contemporary-art-stroll-and-na--listing-2e081fcef2150f4fa2bda464) — Park open daily 10:00 AM–5:00 PM year-round · deCordova Sculpture Park and Museum (The Trustees of Reservations), Lincoln · All ages · From $14 · checked Nov 4.
