We take vacations for a variety of reasons. Some of us center our vacations around sports. So what are the best sports vacations?
Or, rather, what are the best destinations for a sports vacay? Before we get into the list, I should probably lay a few things out. Because the term “sports vacations” can mean a couple of different things. This isn’t a piece about your kid playing travelling baseball and now you’ve got to book your family vacation around their game schedule in upstate New York. If that’s you, my condolences.
No, what we’re talking about here are the best places for sports fans to travel. The team over at Price4Limo put together a little something called Best Vacations for Sports Fans, where they used Yelp data to figure out the best cities for vacations that are centered around sports. Turns out Boston placed pretty highly. I guess people outside of New England haven’t been watching the Red Sox lately.
Best Sports Vacations: Boston is a Top 5 Destination
Here are a few Boston bullet points to start with. According to the research, Boston has the second-best sports facilities. The Garden still rocks, apparently. In addition, hotels in Boston are the fourth-best for winding down. And Boston has the fifth-best options when it comes to sports betting and casinos. Had this study been conducted a year ago, that certainly wouldn’t have been the case.
Overall, Boston ranked 4th in the study for the best vacation destination for sports fans. You can dive into more of the data here. Below, I’ll lay out the Top 5 for you. And while were on the subject, Massachusetts proper made the Top 20 for best summer vacation states. And two other New England states recently ranked highly for camping. It’s pretty cool to have all these recreation options so close to home!
