Children's Wharf, Waterfront structure in Boston, Massachusetts.
Children's Wharf is a waterfront structure along Fort Point Channel with seating areas, green spaces, and pathways that run along the water. The site combines open green areas with direct access to the channel and provides space to sit while looking out onto the neighboring skyline.
The site was once known as Museum Wharf before receiving its current name when the Boston Children's Museum moved there. This relocation in the late 1970s marked a turning point in reshaping the area into its present form.
The area reflects Boston's shift from an industrial hub to a cultural gathering place where families come together today. Its position next to the Financial District shows how modern city development has transformed an old waterfront into a vibrant meeting space.
The site is easy to reach by crossing the Congress Street Bridge from South Station and connecting to Boston's public transportation network. Visitors should expect flat pathways and level surfaces that are straightforward to walk through.
A large painted milk bottle landmark from the 1970s stands at this location and has become a local landmark. This unusual structure often catches the attention of visitors who come across it.
