This sprawling 30-hectare theme park lets you journey through China’s most iconic landmarks in miniature. Xi'an’s ancient Terracotta Army, the serene Leshan Buddha, and a winding model of the Great Wall are just a few of the sights you'll find here. It’s an ideal spot to get inspired to travel beyond the usual highlights like the Forbidden City and Temple of Heaven. But Splendid China Folk Village doesn’t just stop at landmarks; it brings China’s cultural diversity to life with full-scale villages that celebrate the unique customs of China’s 55 ethnic minority groups. You can catch traditional performances, taste regional snacks, and experience hands-on workshops, from craft-making to dance.

Since 1983, the goal of the Boston Fire Museum has been not only to maintain the old firehouse building, but to display and preserve antique firefighting equipment and memorabilia from the Greater Boston area and educate the public on fire safety.

For aviation enthusiasts and history buffs, the Palm Springs Air Museum is a real find. Home to one of the largest collections of World War II aircraft in the country, this museum is more than just planes—it’s a walk through history. Here, you can get close to vintage warbirds, from bombers to fighter jets, and even step inside a few. There's also a theater showing documentaries that bring the stories of these planes and their pilots to life, along with a flight simulator for those who want a feel of the cockpit.

Founded by philanthropist and supporter of the arts Isabella Stewart Gardner, the museum houses her private collection and works to uphold her life's mission of encouraging the development of new artists.
