Eric OMay 6, 2013Join ducklings Jack, Kack, Lack, Mack, Nack, Ouack, Pack, and Quack as they are led by Mrs. Mallard from the Charles River to their new home on the island in the Boston Public Garden Pond.
Richard RevillaSeptember 6, 2016Great story and tribute to the author in this art sculpture. Take a picture of your kids on the mother Duck.
Nothing says Boston like the ducklings, so make sure you drop by if you are visiting. It is a great photo opportunity because kids love sitting on their backs.
- Jake SmithJune 21, 2013Now that you've visited the ducklings (and surely climbed atop the mother duck), head over to the pond during the summer to ride a swan (boat).
TammyMay 7, 2015Please be considerate to other people who are trying to take photos. Don't hog up the ducks or have your kids hog up the ducks.
IWalked Audio ToursSeptember 7, 2011Kids love to climb atop Mrs. Mallard and her 8 ducklings. Added in 1987 atop cobblestones rescued from city. Make Way For Ducklings is the official children's book of MA. More info avail via our blog. Read more
They never move or fly away! And they're at least 3 times as big as other ducks. Also they are fearless. I watched a dozen kids swarm them, they held their ground!
Thank goodness momma leads the babies out of the snow
Kathryn DMay 17, 2016Whimsical installation, especially when the park costumes them for different occasions.
UrbanAmpAugust 16, 2011Something everyone should do - chances are you’ve heard of the children’s book Make Way For Ducklings and reading this stirs up pangs of nostalgia.
Zerah JakubMay 12, 2012Stop by on Mother's Day for the Make Way For Ducklings parade - local children dress up as ducklings and follow Mrs. Mallard's route to the Gardens
SupahFans StreetwearJuly 4, 2012Every Little Kid visiting Boston must visit this famous family of ducks

"OK, it’s corny, but a lap around the lagoon is a lovely way to see the fountains and flowers of the Boston Public Garden, with real feathered friends swimming alongside you."
