TUSC recognizes Tufts is part of a vibrant community with a lot to do and see. We work hard to bring as many engaging events to campus as possible, working collaboratively with many local business, but unfortunately we can't bring them all.
​
We've compiled a list of our favorite places around Tufts. To help you plan for your outing, we've added additional details. Cost ranges are denoted with 1 to 4 dollar signs based on how expensive the attraction is in comparison to others on the list. Our suggested transportation methods are listed either via the Tufts Shuttle Service to Davis or the SMFA, the MBTA train (the "T") or MBTA bus. Remember, Charlie Cards for the MBTA can be purchased at the Mayer Campus Center Information Booth.
