Never read the book, but looked interesting, my wife had and wanted to go. The tie guide was very knowledgeable in the story, the home, architecture, hawthorne and his lineage and she made the tour very enjoyable. The grounds are beautiful and also very interesting. One great thing i never knew was the effort to help people gain legal citizenship through classes which also help teach English. Really great to know money from my tour goes to this. A wonderful cause.

The House of the Seven Gables is one of Salem’s crown jewels - part museum, part literary landmark, part seaside retreat. It’s always busy, especially during peak Halloween season, so it’s best to reserve tickets in advance if you want to tour the interior. Even if tours are sold out, don’t skip it: the reduced-fare grounds ticket (around $15) is still a great value. It grants access to the scenic property, the gift shop, the restrooms, the Hawthorne birth home, and some of the outlying buildings, plus the stunning waterfront area. Between the historic architecture, the sea breeze, and the view of the harbor, it’s a peaceful escape from downtown’s chaos. The guided tour of the main Gables house is a highlight as it’s informative without being dry, blending stories of the real Turner family with Hawthorne’s inspiration for his classic novel. Walking through the low-ceilinged rooms, antique furnishings, and especially climbing the narrow hidden staircase tucked inside the walls is a thrill for any history or literature lover. The guides do an excellent job of capturing both the historical and literary importance of the site while keeping things engaging for visitors of all ages. The self-guided Hawthorne birth home, meanwhile, is smaller but equally fascinating, displaying authentic period furniture and personal items tied to Hawthorne’s family. The grounds themselves are worth lingering in. Between the gardens, cobblestone paths, and panoramic views of the waterfront, there’s no shortage of photo opportunities or places to simply sit and take in the atmosphere. On warm days, the wind coming off the water makes it a perfect spot to cool down and relax before heading back toward the bustle of Essex Street. The gift shop deserves its own mention too, stocked with locally inspired books, literary souvenirs, and even games that tie into Salem’s history. Whether you’re there for Hawthorne, colonial history, or just the coastal New England charm, the House of the Seven Gables absolutely lives up to its legend.

We went in September and the gardens were in bloom and it was not crowded. Our guide made our experience very enjoyable. The gift shop has item such as tee shirts saying I survived the secret staircase. For seniors admission five dollars less. I am not sure but the proceeds go towards the economy of the town of Salem. There is a lot of walking to be done but there are benches in places. There are great views of the water to.

This was a treat for me being that I read the book. Its a very neat tour and a very cool house and the grounds are SPECTACULAR. It has very little to do with the Salem Witches though. If you like old buildings and historical feeling things, this may be worth it for you. If you skip the house tour your won't be missing anything truly relevant to the trials or Halloween. I do recommend the grounds tour though. Especially if you love a majestic view. The pictures I took do not do it justice. Also, no ghosts were felt or spotted during the tour.

Purchase tickets in advance!! There are a lot of stairs with some being very narrow. Low ceilings as well just FYI. Definitely worth it though. Amazing experience! It was wonderful tour full of information an surprises! Parking is included with your tour ticket. You can park about 20 mins prior to your tour time and stay for 1 hour after your tour ends.

It was a great experience and our tour guild was informative and funny. My only issue is they gave you a map of the grounds but not the inside of the house so i felt a little lost in the house. But overall a good visit.

Cool tour. If you are into early American history, or literature you'll love this tour. This is a house built in the early 1600's and has survived and been restored over the years. A relative of the author, Nathaniel Hawthorne, was a famous American author and visiting this house and listening to his aunt tell him stories of growing up in this house inspired him to write the House of the Seven Gables novel. Has rooms restored to the time period, and original antique furniture and home pieces. The coolest part is a secret stairway that goes behind the fireplace up to the attic. Our tour guide was very knowledgeable.

Honestly disappointed. My family is glad we went for the experience. But truthfully we were really let down. The recorded narration on the presentation contains inaccurate info that a simple Google search would prove to be wrong. Sorry, but getting an entire person’s (Tituba) race, culture, beliefs, and personal history WRONG just to sell the narrative is inexcusable. Very disappointed in that. And the items that were on display in the “museum” were also a let down and had very little/nothing to do with the actual witch trials at all. We saw a much better exhibit at the Peabody Essex Museum, that included copies of documents and letters as well as items owned by the victims. Overall, I would never go and pay the $54 to do this again, and honestly disappointed we spent THAT much for our visit, I fully advise anyone visiting in the future to keep all these things in mind. Because after our visit, we fully understand why they don’t allow filming inside. They definitely don’t want anyone to see how underwhelming it is before going and lose their business. 🥴

The first part of the museum was a bit campy and felt somewhat dated. It wasn't terrible and I learned a good bit from it. The second section of the museum was nice and informative. Make sure to get there before your call time because even during the weekday it was very busy. During the month of October they open the tickets 12 hrs before so you have to be strategic to get the slot you want.

We visited Salem two days before Halloween, so the whole town was super fun and festive, even though the weather wasn’t great. We came across the Salem Witch Museum 1692 and decided to give it a try. It was very busy, with lines to get in, but everything was organized well. You scan a QR code on a sign to buy your tickets, and then line up about 30 minutes before your time slot. Once inside, you enter an auditorium with benches along the wall and small tufted circle seats in the middle. The show begins with the story of the Salem witch trials, told through mannequins positioned around the room, paired with lighting effects and narration. It was dramatized in an interesting way — not quite what I expected, but well done. Afterward, you move into a second exhibit area where a staff member shares more background about witches, the trials, and related cultural and historical facts. The entire experience lasted about 45 minutes. Overall, I think the experience was priced fairly. I wouldn’t have paid much more, but it was worth it to get a better understanding of the history — especially while visiting Salem during Halloween season.

I loved the experience but wish it wasn't so structured toward the end. The narrated story was very educational and unique compared to other self guided museums but once you get past that, you get ushered into a smaller room, given a ton of information really fast, and then are expected to head out without being given enough room or space to really observe or read all the displays. I would still recommend going at least once because it's one of those things you just have to do at least once. But I won't go out of my way to go back unless I have a very good reason.

The Salem Witch Museum is definitely one of the most talked-about attractions in Salem, but it’s important to know what to expect before you go. This is not a walk-through museum filled with exhibits — instead, it’s a guided, staged presentation led by museum employees. The experience begins with a dramatized performance recounting the events of the 1692 Salem witch trials, using lighting, narration, and life-sized figures to tell the story. It’s informative and gives a good overview of the history, but the entire presentation takes less than an hour, so it’s a relatively short visit. Afterward, there’s a small second section with some additional information and, of course, a gift shop at the end. I’d recommend buying tickets in advance, as the museum can get crowded and time slots often fill up quickly — especially during October or weekends. Overall, the Salem Witch Museum offers an interesting, theatrical look at a dark chapter in history, but it’s more of a performance than a traditional museum. While I appreciated the storytelling aspect, I found it to be a bit overhyped given how brief the experience is. Still, it’s worth a stop if you’re already exploring Salem and want a quick introduction to the witch trials.

It was fine. I heard some not so great reviews so I just went for the ghosts that allegedly show up in the photos. The ghosts did not show up in mine. It's essentially a retelling of the events of Salem with some staged exhibits or diorama as they are sometimes called, for dramatic affect. Its worth seeing if you have the time and money. But if you're short on one the other or both, you aren't missing anything. Their gift store is however terrific, that I give 5 stars. And Fattys cookies next door are a MUST.

Overall a waste it money. Staff were well organized and very kind. Museum itself is really disappointing. You walk into a room where old dusty and broken wax figures are lit up to a narration of the Witch Trials. Not all of the information was accurate. Then there is a very small museum of a few additional items on display. I was extremely disappointed to not be able to see the stained glass from inside or any of the building details. You’re better off going on a guided tour. We heard the same information on a walking tour and enjoyed that experience a lot more.

(Visited on 09/13/2025) A visit to the museum was the first thing I had in mind when we planned our trip to Salem. They showcased actual artifacts from the trials and gave detailed stories and backgrounds to the people affected. I also appreciated the timeline of events post Salem Witch Trials.. Also to note, the Yin Yu Tang house was such a marvel! It transports you to another place and time and gives you an insight of generational living of another culture. Kudos to the museum staff! I recommend to order your tickets online prior to visiting, going as soon as it opens, and possibly dedicating most of your day here. We parked at the Witch City Mall parking garage (~$11/day) and parked on the top floor. More spots available and you get a unique view of Salem.

SO MUCH to see! It says minimum of 2 hours but allow yourself most of the day. We didn't see it all and we were there for over 4 hours. LOTS of history and tons of interactive stuff for little ones, too! You can buy your tickets in advance for any day and they are good for anytime you want to go that day. Start early to see it all.

Easily spend a full day here. Surprising East Asian and asian art collection as well as other exhibits I didn't expect, like contemporary south Asian art. I ignorantly came expecting that the museum would be mainly about the Salem Witch Trials, which are covered with humanizing care, introspection and reflection on justice. But I came away learning a lot more about Salem, it's fascinating history and connection to the global world trade and the cultures shared through artifacts and art represented in the exhibits. There are other children friendly exhibits about the boreal Forrest and overall the exhibits are not text heavy and often contain interactive and or video media throughout.

We came to Salem for Halloween, but the crowds drove us into the museum. If it weren't for the parking situation we could've spent a few more hours here. OMG! What a class museum! The indeginous section was amazing as well as the South Asian Contemporary collection! (You don't see that much in the States) Definitely on the list of places to revisit!

The Peabody Essex is one of my favorite spots in Salem for lunch - the peppers are absolutely scrumptious… Is what I would say if the PEM was a restaurant and not a world-class museum!! I’ve visited 2-3 times and each time I learn or discover something new, even from the permanent collections. All the art and historical artifacts are displayed and described with respect and expertise. The Yin Yu Tang House is especially interesting and impressive to learn how they shipped it to MA in parts and assembled it here (and also where you can find the dried peppers :D). I also really enjoy the interactive natural history sections of the museum; on my last visit, they had a room with different caterpillars!! The PEM is a must-visit for any trip to Salem.

This is a must see museum if you are visiting Massachusetts. The art and artifacts are well presented and quite varied. The museum is immaculate, and well run. There is a public parking garage nearby, with economical rates.

This was an absolutely beautiful museum. We could feel ourselves traveling through time with different artwork from different periods. There also felt like there was quite a bit of representation between old and new as well as art from around the world. I definitely loved the art books that you could contribute to as well. It felt like we were a part of the art and really able to experience and learn up close. The museum was very clean and spacious as well. The greeter were very polite and warm and welcoming. They were also very knowledgeable. The little gift shops were also quite pleasant and adorable.

When I was going there I knew it was going to be more of an attraction than coming to see a part of American history. This place is very special and I hope it is honored. As I did wander through the streets My eyes weren't focused on the books as much as the architecture around there I must say it was beautiful. Well I'm really grateful for is that you do see the respect from a lot of people not touching the offerings. I was so excited to go there and I'll be frankly honest with you it lived up to it the whole town everything. What I think would be peaceful is a 5:00 a.m. cup of coffee walk no people no stores just the history the architecture the pride in a build in a fear of injustice.

Its very humbling to have people not forgotten. The memorial is definatly being honored and the names kept alive of those that were mistakenly accused and lost their lives. The fact thousands of people visit and take their time to view each name and some even dropping flowers in their memory really does feel as if they wont ever be forgotten. The graveyard also very full with visitors look & talking about those who are no longer with us and there is just a buzz in the air for those that could have been forgotten being remembered.

Wonderful place to come. It’s a free tour but you’ve got to get your pass online. So much history in one area.

A beautiful and powerful place of reflection. The Witch Trial Memorial is simple yet incredibly moving — a quiet space that honors the innocent lives lost during the 1692 witch trials. The stone benches engraved with each victim’s name create such a heavy emotional impact, especially when you realize how close it is to the Old Burying Point Cemetery. It’s not flashy or touristy, and that’s what makes it so meaningful. The atmosphere is peaceful and somber, and it really encourages you to pause and reflect on what happened here centuries ago. If you’re visiting Salem, make sure to stop by. It’s a short visit, but one that stays with you long after you leave. A beautiful and respectful tribute — five stars.

Probably one of my favorite experiences of this whole trip. It was really sobering to be in the spot of remembrance for these people who were killed because of hysteria and groupthink and intolerance. Brought pennies all the way from Seattle to leave one of each of their markers It was amazing to see others then felt the same way that I did. It was beautiful and moving

Interesting stop along your journey through Salem These are just a few of the the benches dedicated to the people persecuted for being a witch Most were hung and one crushed to death from "spectral evidence" Let me help in case you've never heard of such a thing like I hadn't Google says, Spectral evidence is testimony based on dreams, visions, or apparitions, where a witness claims the spirit or "specter" of an accused person appeared to them and caused harm, even when the accused was physically elsewhere. It was notably accepted during the Salem Witch Trials in the late 17th century, reflecting the Puritan belief that malevolent spirits could project themselves to torment others, but it was later condemned as unreliable and dangerous. What it entails: Apparitions: Accusers reported seeing the specter of a witch, sometimes in human or animal form, that would pinch, bite, or choke them. Dreams and Visions: The evidence often came from victims experiencing visions or dreams where the spirit of the accused person tormented them. Spiritual Projection: The underlying belief was that witches, through a pact with the Devil, could project their spirit to harm others from a distance, while their physical body remained in a different location

This is a memorial of the salem witch trials. You will see the gravestone of those convicted, and hung, of being a witch. There are tickets you need to register for, but are free, just so they can keep track of the visitors.

While visiting Salem, we stopped by this historic graveyard. It was crowded, so we didn’t get to look at a lot of specific graves, but it’s definitely a must visit. We would definitely take a tour to learn more about this historic place.

This is a tiny, historic cemetery in Salem, Mass. There is a small welcome center and gift shop, a memorial to those hanged during the Salem Witch Trials in the late 1690's, and a nice path to walk through. Its interesting, and historic, and worth seeing. But its a cemetery, so don't get your hopes up too high.

Free to enter - opens sometime after 10am on a Tuesday in June. We arrived around 9:30 and this was our first stop after parking and the visitor center. At that time, the gates were still locked, but we could see a lot from the memorial. We came back in the afternoon and it was all unlocked and we got to walk around inside the cemetery. Lots of very old graves and interesting style of the tomb stones. Definitely stop here if you’re visiting Salem, just make sure you don’t come too early or you’ll miss actually getting to go into the cemetery.

Amazing historic cemetery!!! Great place to walk around, you have to stay on the paths in order to help the preservation efforts but you can still see a lot of the old stones.

Really liked this experience, it was kind of moving to see people that were founders of our country and here they are in real life I'll be at deceased but still very much a part of living history. Also don't forget to pay a respects to the which memorial next door very awesome

So when I got there there was a lady standing at the gate and you have to scan a ticket to make reservations it is free to walk through the cemetery. So once you go when it will take you around a loop the cemetery is very old dating back to the 1600s and it's very cool you are not able to walk on the grass and must stay on the path. I love checking cemeteries out and I thought this one was pretty cool and old-looking. I would definitely recommend checking this place out if you are into history and old cemeteries like I am.

Kinda weird reviewing a cemetery but here goes. If you’re a dead person this is a great place to go chill forever if you want a clean landscaped spread. However, there are a lot of tourists bumbling around so you might need to stick out head out of the dirt and yell “get off my lawn”

She was really friendly at first and gave us free drinks. But then one of our friends got really drunk and said something that offended her - and with one twitch of her nose she turned him into a fly. We still haven't found him. Beware! (And please don't swat any flies you see near this place!)

Wasn't too crowded when we visited but I can image it being quite a wait as the statue and grounds area is not too big! Very neat experience! Prime location for shopping!

Breakfast with a view Salem is always a good time. So many things to see and do. Very affordable, (unless you're staying in October) for families. Please, for the love of God, control your children when you enter these shops. Items are not cheap, some priceless. I did see too much of mockery. You don't like the lifestyle, fine. No need for unessesary comments just because you dont understand. Ask questions instead, the owners love to educate. But these kids and their moms were ruthless and so damn rude. Favorite shops personally are the Tibetan shop(so many religious and spiritual pieces not from here, right up my alley and the owners are so sweet. )and the shop with the viking ship replica out front. Both on the main strip. There are other hidden gems around town. I try to stay away from the more "commercialized" places. Not my vibe, I can make my own shirt and print something on it for less. I look for personal pieces, whether jewelry, one of a kind clothing etc. You go when the market is set up, there's so many fantastic local artists and their things don't say Made in China on it. Those are the gems of the city. Pirate museum smells horrid, like the wax museum did. Still enjoyed it when the kiddos were small though. Loved the Horror Movie museum. So many cool pieces, I wish it was bigger. Hope this was helpful. Just my opinions of course, so take it for what you will.

Statue was very cool. Weekends do make crowds. Labor day weekend marks the increase in crowds beware of crowds and traffic.

Cool statue, can be difficult get a pic during busy times and it’s close to the walking path which makes it more challenging

This is also a Trolley stop and often has long lines to take a selfie with. Can also stand on corner and snap a pic. Earlier the better.

Cool sculpture to pay tribute to a fun old show about a witch. The crowd seem to love it and if you want a picture with it prepare to wait or go off season.

Such an icon to visit! This was the first time I had gone into the little gift shop around back, haven't walked through the museum though. Some neat items for purchase but the real attraction is the house itshelf! So much history and such a beautiful sight!

“The Witch House is famous because it is the only surviving building in Salem with direct ties to the 1692 Witchcraft Trials, as it was the home of Judge Jonathan Corwin. Corwin was a magistrate who presided over many of the pre-trial examinations for the accused, making his home a significant historical landmark and a popular destination for those interested in Salem's history. The house is now a museum open to the public. “ I went during October on a Monday and it was pretty easy to get around and take pictures of. I did not go inside. “Captain Nathaniel Davenport originally owned the land where the Witch House at 310 Essex Street now resides.While Davenport started construction of the house, it was left unfinished when Jonathan Corwin bought it in 1675.”

Amazing! Don’t just walk though, talk to the historians there to learn about the house! I could have spent all day with these ladies. I learned so much about the time period, construction, etc. so many people will just walk through. Stop and pause and it’s amazing! Also the proceeds from this experience pay for many of the other Salem historical sites. Definitely worthy, talk to the guides!

We went through this. Another pick I am happy to have done. Neat to see what "rich" looked like back then. Lots of history. Lots of reading!! Take your time through it but it's only so big. 20-30 minutes should be enough to read it all and experience it. You can take pictures.

I'm not sure if you should, or could, but tickets in advance because we didn't have to. We walked right in, paid and went straight into the exhibit. It's fascinating that this house still stands. They did say all the items, and furniture, etc were not used by the family. Those items are part of another exhibit at another museum. It's pretty rad to step into a piece of history like that and I highly recommend you visit. It wasn't crowded but the exhibit space is small and I could see it getting crowded.

The Witch House of Salem is a fascinating place to visit and a must-see for anyone interested in the history of the witch trials. The house itself is beautifully preserved, and walking through the rooms gives you an authentic glimpse into 17th-century life. The exhibits are informative, and the staff is knowledgeable, making the experience both educational and engaging. It’s a quick stop, but a memorable one—rich with history and atmosphere. I recommend for anyone exploring Salem!

We have "visited" the Witch House twice now. The first time? It was completely closed to our knowledge. The 2nd, and most recent time, it was open and doing tours, but as it is NOT ACCESSIBLE for those in wheelchairs, I was not able to partake, so please keep that in mind. It is a beautiful, historically rich house, that you can at least pose in front of and/or take pictures of, and if you are doing the History-Walking Tour of Salem or you are just a history nerd like myself, it is worth the visit. I have heard the inside is super neat to see and worth the ticket purchase at least once in your life. Hopefully the 3rd time we visit I'll finally be able to see the inside. There is no parking lot, so find a public parking lot and pay to park, or if you are staying in Salem, take the walk down to the site.

This place is amazing! Took an Uber from a cruise port as its less than 10 minutes away. Spent a good 2 hours walking through the 4 floors of exhibits ranging from seals, stingrays, clown fish, sharks, turtles, jelly fish and an anaconda. Extremely clean. We are from out of town but brought an annual membership. Well worth it even if you go just once. Trying to go again soon!

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ A Magical Day at the New England Aquarium! I absolutely loved my visit to the Boston Aquarium! From the moment I walked in, I was surrounded by incredible marine life and beautifully designed exhibits that made me feel like I was stepping into an underwater world. The highlight of my day was definitely the sea turtle — such a magnificent and graceful creature. Watching it glide effortlessly through the water was truly mesmerizing and peaceful. Another favorite was the seahorse exhibit. I could have stood there for hours watching those delicate, whimsical creatures sway and twist around the coral. They’re so tiny, yet so full of personality! The entire aquarium is thoughtfully laid out, making it easy to explore while learning so much about ocean conservation and the importance of protecting marine habitats. The staff were friendly, knowledgeable, and clearly passionate about the animals they care for. I also appreciated how clean and well-maintained everything was, from the tanks to the viewing areas. Whether you’re visiting Boston for the first time or you’re a local looking for something special, the New England Aquarium is a must-see destination. I can’t wait to go back again soon!

So I will preface this review by saying I have been to over a hundred zoos and awuariums over the last 6 years. This aquarium is pretty decent. A good variety of different fish, and overall they do have as good a layout as they can with the space they have. Pros: Variety Bright colored exhibits Good signage about animals Cons: Price for size Very tight space inside Bad signage on where to go next Again, I liked this aquarium, but for $40+ bucks I would like to have not been shoulder to shoulder with everyone else there. I also feel like the "Sharks" exhibit is a joke, and some of the exhibits talk big, but then fail to deliver.

This aquarium was really awesome. The turtle was super active and we happened to come during feeding time. The octopus was also active during our visit. But arguably one of the coolest things was the shark eggs that were back lit. You can see the embryo moving within the egg. Overall it was a great aquarium experience and I would recommend.

My fiance and I LOVED the New England Aquarium!! No kids yet, but cannot wait to bring the little one here soon! Such an amazing layout and awesome exhibits. The stingrays are so cute and friendly, the penguins, seals, and sea lions were sooooo much fun to sit and watch. It was a little crowded but not too bad for a saturday! We will definitely be back!!

For the $40 for the amount of space for museum, probably not worth it. We had tickets from corporate otherwise I would have been disappointed with price for place. The shark exhibit…. Is it really one? Not much. Was able to catch the feedings for sea lions and penguins so that was good. More could be made into something or have more interactive things. The explore spot for little ones had barely anything there for kids to play with. But it gave us a good spot to sit and have a snack

No matter the age anyone can enjoy this place! I Spent Colombus day here with my hunny and out 17 year old daughter. We were there about a hour and a half. A lot of people but not uncomfortable. There’s a lot of variety with fishes and diff kind of frogs,sharks, turtles ect. We even got to see staff going into one of the big tanks and feed some of the animals. My family had a great time and all the staff were friendly. Always love coming here☺️

A great place to go for lunch as a tourist in Boston! So much choice of food. Enjoyed some American Mac and Cheese! The small portion is ginormous . So delicious! Will definitely return when next in Boston. Public toilets available here too!

It's very close to downtown Boston. There are many vendors selling foods, snacks, souvenirs and also many shops with a good collection of apparel. I like the place because it's very walkable and there are artists and also street performances like you can enjoy. You can walk in the building of the market. There are three separate buildings. Each of them features different set of merchandise goods. There are children's play area inside and outside the building. Pets are welcomed.

This was on all of the Google searches for being a must see in Boston. There were so many food vendors and the building was historic and beautiful. There were areas to eat although it was pretty crowded. It was fun to look at all the different types of food available.

I went when it was a quiet Friday evening and there wasn't much going on. The stores were warm and offered souvenirs and trinkets. The history on the wall though was fascinating. Restrooms were clean and located down the steps. There are outdoor seating benches and tables and is located next to the Samuel Adam's Tap Room. Just a couple hundred feet away is the Boston sign. So, all in all, well worth the trip! Saturday the place was swarming with people, music blasting and some break dancing was going on as others walked around and shopped.

This place is an indoor and outdoor establishment. Full of wonderful places to eat from all over the world. Little shops from Christmas, sports, home goods, and many more. Great atmosphere and architecture.

Very good selection of food. Clean place. Pretty crowded since is in the touristy area. My son had a meatball sandwich, my husband and I had pasta. Everything was tasty.

Amazing place to visit when in Boston. This was the staple of our trip, so much to see a s do. Very close, walking distance to many stops on the FREEDOM TRAIL. must stop!

Huzzah! The Boston Tea Party Museum is a fantastic, interactive experience from start to finish. The 1-hour guided tour was packed with energy and fun—our guide brought history to life in such an engaging way. My 9-year-old was absolutely ready to become a real revolutionary, especially when it came time to toss the tea into the sea. After all the excitement, we enjoyed a delicious cup of tea, which was the perfect ending to the visit. Truly a memorable and educational adventure. Highly recommend!

Celebrate one of the milestones of the American Revolution with a visit to the Boston Tea Party Ships & Museum. Boston is drenched in colonial tourism, and this attraction was tons of fun. The costumes are all very well made. The staff is so friendly and courteous. The actors embody their characters and put on a great immersive show. You get to see a reenactment of the colonial conspirators and if you’re lucky and brave enough, you’ll get a line or two to speak during the proceedings. Explore the belly of the ships that brought tea to Boston and toss a ceremonial crate of tea over the edge for a great photo op. This is one of those places where you get to learn by accident. You’ll be so immersed and enthralled by what is going on around you that you’ll be pleasantly surprised that you were learning at the same time. There are a few replicas from the early years of the U.S.A. as well as portraits, paintings, and entire rooms that bring you back 250 years. Kids and adults will thoroughly enjoy their time at the ships and museum. Parking isn’t terrible, but definitely plan some time to find a good spot or parking garage. The streets and traffic flow around the museum take some patience. The museum gets a big recommendation as a must-visit.

It was special to know the story through acting and also including the visitors into the characters. It was impressing to walk step by step from the beginning of the incident, to the ship and pour out the tea, and saw the exhibits and documentary to feel emotionally. It was worthwhile to not only experience the history, but also absorb how the past has brought to the present. Sending pics to staffs who act professionally! Thank you very much!

An awesome experience. Actors acted out events and taught real USA history. The ship was small and gave a very good idea of the conditions these men worked in. The gift shop was fabulous. The best deal was Abigail’s, on the premises. For ~$5, you get unlimited cups (in cafe only) of each of the 5 types of tea that were thrown overboard

A Phenomenal Trip Back in Time: History Made Real! If you are looking for an immersive historical experience in Boston, visiting the Boston Tea Party Ships & Museum is an absolute must-do, especially with family. What truly elevates this attraction above a typical museum visit is the fantastically talented cast of historical interpreters. From the moment we stepped aboard, we were completely transported back to 1773. The performers didn't just read lines; they embodied the colonists, infusing the drama leading up to the act of rebellion with passion, energy, and wit. The experience felt authentic, lively, and truly immersive. They seamlessly guided us through the process—from the initial town meeting to finally tossing the tea overboard—making us feel like active participants in a pivotal moment of history.

What an amazing experience, from start to finish! Engaging, fun and a lot of learning! The actors/ characters really made the entire experience fun! Great job! Great for all ages, even my teen who doesn’t care for history enjoyed it. We will do it again when we return to Boston! Highly recommend!

It was an experience, one that was touching, educational and thought provoking. I loved the tour on the ship and the ability to throw the tea overboard, but my favorite is probably the museum with the talking portraits and theater elements. I found it to be creative and touching. The bottomless tea which you can purchase at the café was a nice touch after the tour. All in all, a great piece of history to take with you while visiting Boston.

Pretty fountain located close to the start pot the freedom trail.

A great place to sit and enjoy music, and the setting. The tables are a little old and dirty, but the chairs and benches are fine. The fountain is beautiful and this is where I like to bring a lunch and sit.

If you hit the Common via Tremont St, this fountain is way to the left. It's hard to miss. Just follow the tall spire of the imposing 19th century church. Once here, enjoy the coppery hues of this fantastic fountain with it's sculptures. Plenty of food carts around. Many restaurants as well. Good to munch on a snack and enjoy views of the golden-domed state house!

Brewer Fountain is a 1868 bronze sculpture by Michel Joseph Napoléon Liénard. It stands near the corner of Park and Tremont Streets in Boston, Massachusetts, by Park Street Station The 22-foot-tall (6.7 m), 15,000-pound (6,800 kg) bronze fountain, cast in Paris, was a gift to the city by Gardner Brewer. It began to function for the first time on June 3, 1868. It is one of several casts of the original, featured at the 1855 Paris World Fair, designed by French artist Michel Joseph Napoléon Liénard;[1] other copies with minor variations can be found across the world, including the Steble Fountain in Liverpool or the Tourny Fountain in Québec. At least sixteen other copies exist, including one on Av. Cordoba y Cerrito in Buenos Aires and in Salvador de Bahia, Brazil.[2][3] The fountain is decorated with the figures of Neptune, Amphitrite (Neptune's wife), and Acis and Galatea, a couple from Greek mythology.[4] It fell into disrepair and finally stopped functioning entirely in 2003. A major repair project began in 2009.[5] After a year-long $640,000 off-site restoration led by sculpture conservator Joshua Craine of Daedalus Inc., it was re-dedicated on May 26, 2010.[6]

One of the nice spots on the Historic trail. I recommend the historic trail for visitors. It is a very convenient way of walking the downtown Boston.

If you sit on the grass right over the red line, you an feel the subway rumble beneath you as it goes by!!

Beautiful fountain with benches, tables and umbrellas olus a great view of the State House.

This is such a beautiful and special spot in the city! No matter the season, it’s always such a nice place to walk around, sit with a coffee, people watch, or just take in the scenery. It’s got so much history, but it also feels very alive and welcoming. I love how it’s right in the middle of everything, you can wander through and end up in so many different parts of Boston!

It's is a big park with a very popular arm crossing sculpture at one end of the park. There is also a welcome center where you can find a lot of merchandise. And also there are restaurants fast food around the park. In the park you can see many people sitting there with their children and a lot of people. They are many people listening to the guides introduction of the history of Boston. There are a lot of ducks and squirrels. The squirrels here are not afraid of people. If you have food they will just approach you. This is surprising to me because I see a lot of other places whereas borrows won't just run away when people walk by. And many pigeons are in the park. Maybe because of the weather of Boston you can see red leaves. They're beautiful and a little pond in the center of the park. There is no parking so you better walk there but the transportation is very convenient.

It was a lovely visit to be able to drink a cup of hot coffee and stroll through Boston Commons in the nice crisp weather. There is so much history to take in. While the red bricks are there to guide you through the Freedom Trail, it is nicer in my opinion to book a tour. Not only does it cut down the amount of steps, it also adds so much more to the learning of all the historical facts- which made learning fun, interactive and brought it to life!

Absolutely beautiful park! Every time I've visited there is some kind of event going on. People relaxing, walking their dogs, people gathered at the visitor center ready to go on a Freedom Trail walking tour... A wonderful park surrounded by so much history and every day life alike. Check it out if you're ever in Boston. 🙂

What a beautiful big park with such a nice community & atmosphere! Super clean, has the most fat squirrels and lovely fall colors! It’s actually big, has everything you’d want in a park! Safe, no homeless lol.

A place to immerse yourself in the nature to find your true self. Boston Commons is the place which let you have the thrills of Military 🪖🎖️ artillery showcases, thousands of flags for memorial Day celebration, Japanese cultural festival, Boston Pride Day celebration and more and the chirping of birds, sprints of squirrels and quacks of the 🦆 all at once. To me this place has been my go-to destination every weekend to channelize my emotions and get back with more energy. Kudos to everyone making this place magical.

This was our first time and day at Boston Common. We were unaware of the No Kings event scheduled at the park for the day. We found the tourist center and bought 2 passes for the city view trolley 🚎 and quickly moved on to other parts of the city. Hopefully our next visit will be less crowded.

Such a beautiful and peaceful spot! I could have stayed all day, especially with the perfect fall weather. I captured some amazing Boston shots during my mini photoshoot. While there were plenty of people and lots of photo-taking happening, there were also plenty of quiet corners to escape the crowds. Truly loved my time here!

The Boston Public Garden is a must-see! It's a gorgeous escape right in the middle of the city, and a perfect spot to relax and get away from all the noise. The trees are stunning, especially in the fall when the colors are just magical. I love watching the squirrels play and taking a stroll along the paved pathways. The famous Swan Boats on the lagoon are a charming sight, and the park is great for all ages. It's completely free to enter, open from dawn to dusk, and super easy to get to with the Arlington and Boylston T stops nearby. Don't forget to say hi to the "Make Way for Ducklings" statue! It's a beautiful, peaceful place that's perfect for a walk, a date, or just unwinding.

Boston Public Garden is a beautiful city park that delights with its natural beauty. An oasis of greenery in the heart of the city, it is perfect for strolling, relaxing, and enjoying the peace and splendor of nature. Its elegance and romantic atmosphere make it one of the most special and beautiful places in Boston.

We love this place! It’s serene and peaceful. This time around, we rode on the Swan Boat which was so nice since the last time we were here was in the Fall and the lake was empty. So glad we were able to check it out in the Summer. Be aware if it’s hot outside, the Swan boat is open so you are exposed to the sun and the elements, but you get a nice breeze from the water.

Loved visiting the public garden. It was so beautiful when we visited. Each tree has a history behind it and a plaque attached telling you where it’s originally from. Lots of space and great for families

Boston Public Garden, located just steps from Boston Common, is truly one of my favorite places in the city! The meticulously maintained gardens, iconic swan boats gliding across the lagoon, and beautiful walking paths create a serene urban oasis—perfect for a quiet stroll or a relaxing afternoon. The floral displays are gorgeously seasonal, and everywhere you look there’s charm: historic statues, shaded benches, and picturesque bridges. The lagoon view, especially at sunset, is postcard-worthy. Whether you're a local or just visiting, this spot is a peaceful escape in the heart of downtown Boston. Highly recommended for a peaceful retreat amid beautiful greenery—can't beat this gem near Boston Common!

A very beautiful garden in a very dirty city. This place was great to visit during my time in Boston, especially since everywhere in this city is filled with trash, more trash than I’ve ever seen in a city and that includes Seattle and New York. This garden was well kept, had so many places to walk and see it was just a great experience, do yourself a favor and check it out!

I’ve had the honor of photographing a wedding at The Boston Public Library, and it really is a dream wedding venue to photograph at. The courtyard, the grand staircases, the way the light falls through those historic windows, it all feels straight out of a storybook. The team there is wonderful to work with too, making such an iconic space feel warm and personal.

We had read that this was a must visit in Boston, and I will definitely agree with that. It is a public library, but the building is very beautiful, and there were a lot of photo ops. Definitely worth visiting to see the beautiful architecture. There’s even a little bar/restaurant in the basement, which was very cool.

The Boston Public Library is a true cultural treasure of the city—an impressive historic building that blends stunning architecture, peaceful reading rooms, and a rich collection of books. Its elegant interior, courtyard with a fountain, and quiet atmosphere make it the perfect place for studying, inspiration, or simply relaxing. It’s one of those locations that leaves a lasting impression on every visitor..

BEAUTIFUL! The coolest architecture, light fixtures, study rooms — this is every book lover’s dream. They had an art exhibit, free public restrooms, and floors and rooms full of books and places to sit and read. It’s a must-see if you’re in the city.

The Boston Public Library absolutely blew my mind. Walking through it felt more like exploring an art museum than a library—the architecture, murals, and details are just stunning. Yet there were still plenty of people cozied up with books, which gave it this really peaceful, lived-in feel. What got me the most was realizing the original Boston library on Boylston was built just before Oregon even became a state. As an Oregon girl, that fact had me wandering around in total awe. It’s history, art, and beauty all in one stop. A must-see!

Third oldest public library in the US . If you come to Boston it should be in your checklist building to visit . Stunning architecture and great romantic patios inside made this building a jewel. If you like interiors , this place is rich in wall paintings, sculpture, stones . Etc

The Boston Public Library is absolutely beautiful both inside and out. It was established in 1848. It contains approximately 24 million items making it the third largest public libray in the United States. Only the federal Library of Congress and New York Public Library are larger. Additionally ot is the first free municipal library in the United States. Other historical firsts for the Boston Public Library are it was the first Library to lend books, first to have a children's room for children's literature, and first to have a branch library system.

This is the best tour I’ve been on in a long time! The street and local atmosphere is something out of a movie, and the tour is very affordable and informative. The guide was fantastic, telling fun stories of his life in Boston and his 10 years working at the field. We saw everything from the original seats to the press box, the green monster, and the special VIP museum that holds World Series balls, bats, uniforms and memorabilia from over the decades. I would recommend this tour to anyone I know, especially baseball lovers. So worth the time and money!

Thanks to Kevin and Zach (apologise if I spelled them wrong) The tour was amazing! They provided clear and touchable introduction about Fenway Park, the immortal and irreplaceable history of Boston Red Sox, including each detail on and off the court, and what did here happened somethings that were truly iconic, and more little adorable sides of the park, such as Fenway Farm! I was impressed by every step I took without a doubt! It was worthy to take a tour here although there's no baseball matches now. Glad to be here to calmly know everything about Fenway!

We took a guided tour of the Fenway stadium. Booked just about 45mins before the tour from the kiosk at the Gate D entrance on the Jersey street. Great experience. The tour guide, Abby (if I remember correctly), was great - very informed as well as great style of presenting facts. With very long history and so many interesting things happened with the Red Sox, the tour was definitely worth it. We don’t watch baseball and have only elementary knowledge of rules but it was still very much easy to understand. Definitely to be done if you’re in Boston.

This was my first time visiting Fenway Park, and even though my team wasn’t playing, I knew I couldn’t come to Boston without checking it out. I’m so glad I did, the energy inside the stadium was incredible! From the moment I walked in, I felt the history and passion that make Fenway such a special place for baseball fans. The crowd was electric, and what really stood out was the sense of community. The entire stadium came together, singing songs, cheering, and living and breathing every moment of the game. I felt completely swept up in the excitement. We just so happened to be there for the game the Red Sox clinched their spot in the playoffs with a walk-off win! The stadium absolutely erupted. I’ve never felt that kind of excitement at a ball game before. You didn’t have to be a Red Sox fan to appreciate the moment. Being there for that walk-off and watching the team celebrate was something I’ll never forget. Fenway isn’t just a place to watch baseball it’s a place to feel it. The atmosphere, the history, the energy it all makes for an incredible experience.

A great stadium for baseball games and concerts! Went to see a concert here the other night and had a great time. Security getting in was easy and signage to find our seats was pretty straightforward. There were a good number of concession stands and bathrooms. For a concert it wasn’t the best sound quality ever, but it was good. It’s a great venue, we’ll definitely be back!

Baseball fan or not, you’ll be a fan of Fenway. Yah, we watched the game (they lost) but we also walked to see all…the…things. Old ticket booths turned into exhibits, Green Monster seats, legendary vibes everywhere. Everyone does the 7th inning stretch, but the fans elevated the experience with the 8th inning…Thanks for a great night, Boston

decided to take the tour of Fenway Park, and our guide Joe was extremely knowledgeable.Not only about the stadium and the players, but baseball in general. We went into the press box, up to seats on top of the Green Monster, viewed the garden and the Red Seat!! Great tour, great information 👍

The Museum of Fine Arts Boston is incredible. There’s so much to see, from classic masterpieces to contemporary exhibits, and it’s really easy to spend a full day exploring without feeling overwhelmed. The galleries are well laid out, and the museum does a great job of balancing large, famous pieces with smaller, hidden gems! I love how interactive and engaging some of the exhibits are, and the staff is always friendly and helpful. The museum has a really welcoming atmosphere, and I always leave inspired and wanting to come back. Whether you’re an art lover or just looking for a fun, cultural day out, the MFA is definitely worth visiting!! :)

The Museum of Fine Arts in Boston is a breathtaking cultural gem that masterfully combines timeless elegance with bold artistic innovation. As you step through its majestic neoclassical entrance, you’re instantly immersed in a vibrant world where centuries of creativity come to life. Inside, you'll discover an extraordinary array of art, from ancient Egyptian relics and classical European masterpieces to Greek, Roman, and Impressionist works. Don't miss the captivating collection of musical instruments, which adds an enchanting rhythm to the museum's diverse offerings. Overall, if you’re looking for a fabulous activity to do during the off-season, whether you’re a local or a tourist, MFABoston is an excellent choice! You’ll absolutely love it! Best, Srdan Dokovic

A fantastic museum with a great variety of exhibits. We only got to see about 1/3 of the displays, so definitely should’ve left more time. The Americas section had lots of interesting pieces and the Jewish art room was really interesting. We were able to get tickets there with no issues, but you can also reserve them online.

Absolutely amazing museum! Where shall I start?! Egyptian art, European art, Greek and Rome art, impressionist art - blew my mind, amazing collections! Musical instruments collection - mesmerizing! And the best part they open till 10pm on Thursday and Friday. I really appreciated that!

So nice, we went twice! But actually we had a morning planned to see the exhibits and loved what we saw , but had only seen a fraction after a few hours. We went the next day when they have $5 late night tickets to see some more. There's still so much to see and it's all so interesting. The cafe was good for a lunch. The staff were all super friendly. Set aside at least a day to visit if you want to see the highlights of all the exhibits.

Extremely popular attraction for tourists and locals. Not too crowded but full and friendly. I would like to return on a quieter day. I loved the museum design and height of exhibit halls. The Japanese art collection is the most impressive in the world.

Definitely worth a visit. I would highly recommend doing an hour long tour which runs throughout the day and it’s included with your admission ticket. The museum is nicely laid out in an organized fashion. There are several dining options. I was happy that there is a casual cafeteria with very reasonable priced foods. The museumwas easily accessible by train, which dropped me off right in front of the museum.

Shaker Hills was well worth the 2-1/2 hour drive. It’s a fun course with a variety of holes. The fairways and greens were in good condition. The entire staff was warm and inviting. I loved the drive through refreshment hut, and the rooftop tee box is a fun and original twist. The only thing keeping this from being a 5 star review is that the pace of play was a bit slow (4:45) without a ranger in sight. The edges of the rough are often hard packed rock and dirt. The carts could also use an upgrade. Overall, a nice experience that was worth the higher price.

Really disappointing experience at Shaker Hills today. We’ve been looking forward to playing here as it’s marketed as #1 public course in Mass. and this is absolutely not the case. The course layout is enjoyable, but you’re paying for rooftop shots off a mat, and a drive through snack bar. This is all a distraction from the extremely poor condition of most fairways and all greens. Pace of play was good, but when you book the course sends you a list of rules which includes them stating you will be paired up to keep pace of play. This includes them moving your tee time up more than two slots. This is somewhat understandable, but then they sent our foursome off with two separate twosomes behind us. We were approached by a ranger on hole 13 and he stated if he had to come back we would be required to skip two holes. We explained that we let two separate twosomes play through and his response was “when you do that it makes them look better, and you look worse”. All around just a poor experience and not anywhere near the price they are charging for the course conditions or overall experience.

Lots of gimmick shots. No breakfast food inside and no beverage carts or drive thru until 10AM. Sprinklers came on on 2 holes while in the fairway. We waited on the tee for the group in front to wait for the group in front of them, and they were both in the fairway. Grounds were in great condition, and that's the only thing that was good.

Terrible experience here! Coming from Ireland to play no.1 course in MA. It’s a OK course, with the rooftop tee and drive through snack bar which are interesting. However, the course management and cart GPS doesn’t allow anytime to players to really enjoy these!!! We are about 10 mins behind the course standard on the 9th tee. While no one behind us that we been asked to pick up the pace and pass the 10th tee and come back afterwards. We respect the management and come back at 10th, got told than the tee time is full and we cannot play 10th anymore. And the group behind us got told to skip 2 holes and go in front of us and my driver onto green almost hit them because their been told to squeeze in front of us. This is terrible course management, nobody enjoys golf! And when we talked to the manger Andy, his is the worst people I ever talk with. No appreciation at al, only willing to give a club logo golf ball while we have 4 players?! And he ended the conversation by walking away?! I been playing the European and never had such terrible golf experience! I wouldn’t say this is no.1 course at less the management team. The Green tee are all under repairs, so ladies were not enjoyable as the move tee so much forward while no more challenging! And the staff are working on the bunker with lots of dust throwing into our face! Not recommended to spend 150 dollars each on this. 60 bucks course is better than this.

Absolutely worth the money and trip. The course is spectacular. The staff are friendly and knowledgeable. Treat yourself its worth it.

Best public course I’ve played. Very well-maintained, and you can tell it’s expertly managed. More than just a round of golf—it’s an experience. Worth every penny, I’ll be back again.

Great looking course with the “shed” they’re really proud of, but pace of play is atrocious. Charge $2 more per person and hire a ranger or two! Friday morning round took us 5 1/2 hours. Also, there is no cart service, nor any water to drink on the course. You only pass the shed twice in your round, so if it’s your first time there like it was mine, you’ll be parched till you reach the shed. Loved the course but not going back till they address pace, ranger, and lack of cart service. You can’t charge $130 and deliver this type of experience. Unacceptable. UPDATE BASED ON SHAKER'S RESPONSE: Your screen is riddled with so many ads that any messages from the course get lost in the shuffle. I totally understand this is a business, but listen to actual golfers if you want actual golfers to play there. If you want the IG crowd to flock to you, you're def winning. Assuming 6 tee times per hour for 8 hours, a bump in green fees by $2 will let you easily afford a full-time ranger at $25/hr

The beach is quite rocky, but a nice long trip to walk on and the water is refreshing!

Beautiful Beach But Stuck in the Past — Bring Cash! We visited Duxbury Beach Park with our toddler and had a really pleasant time overall — the vibe was great, the sand was clean, and the crowd was friendly. The water was nice too, but here’s the heads-up for parents: the beach is full of rocks, which can be tricky (and even unsafe) for young kids. Just something to be cautious about when walking around or getting in the water. Now the big letdown? Payment. It’s 2025, and unbelievably, they still only accept cash. No Venmo, no Cash App, no card, no digital payments of any kind. To make things worse, the ATMs at the beach were out of service, so we had to drive back nearly 3 miles just to find an ATM and get the $25 needed for entry. Frustrating and totally avoidable if they modernized. Tip: Come prepared with $25 cash or risk a detour. Amazing place, but seriously needs to step into the digital age.

I loved this beach. The water was warm and at low tide we had no problems with the rocks! Parking charges $ 20! Clean place to enjoy with family

Awesome beach! We had a great time! I would like to go back many more times!

Hard to find but not crowded. Wonderful restaurant close by and you can buy live lobster in the back

Full of rocks very hard to walk around. Very big though and parking space avail. Would not return though not very good for little kids 🤷🏻‍♀️

SO UPSET. I've been coming to this beach every year for my life, and this was the first year I've had a bad time. It was 20$ to park on a Monday... I remember when it was 15$ on the weekends and I think 10$ on the weekdays.... there was also NO SAND. The whole beach was ROCKS and Dry Seaweed, which attracted tons of bugs. I was so disappointed.. the sand part of the beach was basically just a thin layer of sand over a ton of rocks... I really hope they can clean up this beach before my next trip, or we will have to find another beach in the area to go too!

First time at Sandy Burr Country Club and I had an amazing experience. Came here with a client and a few of his friends who had played here before, and it definitely lived up to the hype. The course is very well laid out — a nice mix of drivable holes and longer challenges. The greens were in excellent shape and rolled true. I’m still in my sophomore year of golf, and shooting under 100 on a brand-new course felt like a big win. Even when I mixed up my Titleist AVX with another player’s ball, everyone laughed it off — just part of the game. The pro shop had a solid selection of merch, and the bar and dining area are right on the main level. Bathrooms and locker rooms are located downstairs. Out back you get a great view of the course and a putting green (no chipping allowed). I also noticed some practice nets on the way in, which is a nice touch. Overall, Sandy Burr exceeded expectations. The layout, conditions, and atmosphere made for a great round. Big thanks to whoever designed and maintains this course — you can tell there’s real care behind it. 👉 Pro tip: It can definitely be a walker’s course, but I took a cart since that’s what everyone else was doing. — Wynter View

DONALD ROSS!!!! This golf course is one of his many jewels. Layout is amazing, very walkable, Some difficult holes requiring precise tee shots and approach shots. Lots of undulating greens. The course itself is in great shape, greens are firm, tee boxes are healthy. Fairways were all dry despite all the rain. Also a very good value. I highly recommend Sandy Burr

We had our wedding at Sandy Burr last weekend and it was the perfect venue for us. Debbie the event coordinator was incredibly kind from the moment we were interested and she really made us feel so comfortable and relaxed. The space itself was beautiful and perfect for our smaller wedding of 60, but you could easily fit more! I really loved that the venue didn't need many decorations, had accessible bathrooms, had great places to take pictures right on site AND you absolutely cannot beat the price. All in all, 10/10 for us!

I've played this course before and it's a fun track and definitely worth checking out. That said, booking a decent morning tee time is nearly impossible. I plan to play on Father's Day (6/15/2025) and I stayed up until midnight on 6/10 to snag a prime Sunday spot the moment reservations opened. Unfortunately, the only available times before noon were 5:40 AM and 6:00 AM. Pretty disappointing considering the effort to book early. It would be great if the course could improve access to morning tee times. Maybe by expanding availability or offering staggered booking windows for weekends and holidays. It’d make the experience more enjoyable for regular players trying to plan ahead.

Greens were recently punched but the rest of the course is in great shape. Hole 9 ordering doesn't work. I tried twice with no response. Just get a hot dog. Pro shop guy was very irritable. The range is just a net that is maybe 25 yards. It's not much but did the job.

We’ve held our charity golf tournament at Sandy Burr year after year, and it has always been an incredible experience. In 2020, right before the lockdown, my wife and I also renewed our wedding vows here, and it couldn’t have been more perfect. The course is beautifully maintained, the staff are outstanding, and the food is absolutely amazing. They go above and beyond every time. We can’t recommend Sandy Burr highly enough!

Greens were covered with crap coming off trees. Plus tons of geese crap. I'm very disappointed. Seems like a little more effort to maintain course is necessary. Someone with a blower would have been nice.

Fun bar with a good selection of beers. The flight is the way to go so you can sample your way through a variety of brews. They offer events at this location. When I was there they had candle making happening. Was quiet when I went with a friend for after work drinks mid week. Free parking.

We stopped for some beers at Mayflower Brewing Company while in Plymouth. We ordered some beer flights along with their limited edition Thanksgiving Ale on Nitro. All the beers we tried were tasty, especially their Dahlia IPA, seltzer, and Leisure Mode. They sold pretzels and popcorn if you wanted a snack. They had an acoustic performer playing live music and the back area had some games to play. They had a really nice souvenir selection of shirts, hats, glassware, sweatshirts and tap handles. I would highly recommend stopping here for drinks and some beer to go.

The staff were very nice, and the snacks are great. Lots of options for beer. (I’m Not legally allowed to drink, but my parents tried some) it was very nice here and they make sure it’s safe here which makes me enjoy this place even more. If I lived near this area, I would definitely go again.

Edit: Tried some of their Love and Wrestling recently, both in cans and on tap, both were really bad tasting compared to before. The newest batch tastes more like a lager and is much darker and less orange/juicy looking. I have had the beer very consistently over the years, but it's like they either messed with the recipe (which 400 re-release tasted like they messed with the recipe as well). Almost undrinkable, honestly I won't be buying another 4 pack of it. Not only that, but it seems like they bailed on DIPA's with Love & Wrestling being the only hazy double they have anymore. They have a rotating single IPA series, which is okay. Also have avoided the tap room for the past year and a half with change in staffing and overall vibe/service. Hopefully things get better. ____________________________________________________ Been stopping by every since the brewery opened. Over the years Mayflower has done a great job of introducing an abundance of well rounded beers and options. Starting with traditional 12oz cans, moving up to 16 oz cans and seasonal bottles for sale. Their staff has always been friendly and welcoming, as well as knowledgable about the beers. Family and pet friendly is a plus in my book. Live music on the weekends and options for 2 (sometimes 3) different beer gardens in the Plymouth area have been fun for a change of scenery. Mayflower has always had great connection with the community over the years. They have since expanded their taste in brews with offering Sours, IPAs, Porters, and lighter beers as well. They have always produced a fantastic double IPA for the pricepoint of a 4 pack, although you guys really should keep the 400 DIPA on all the time! Thanks for being so consistent and reliable.

What a great find! We came to town on a Monday and decided to find a brewery open around lunch time. Almost every other brewery we looked at was closed at that time. Mayflower Brewing was open and pouring! We got six samples and enjoyed all of them. They have exceptionally good NE IPAs. They also had a sour on tap that was delicious! Overall a great experience and we hope to make it back to town again someday and try some other of their brews.

I love the Mayflower Brewing Company. I went for the first time this weekend and was very pleased. They had an awesome food truck that was efficient and delicious. I ordered their sour beer and it was so tasty and tart. I’m not typically a beer drinker but it was extremely tasty. They had two live musicians during our visit. Both were very talented and chose music that fit the mood perfectly. They take lots of precautions to ensure the safety of their patrons during a pandemic. Some examples being tables six feet apart, deep sanitization between groups, no more than 6 people at a table, a QR code menu, and their staff wear their masks appropriately the entire time.

The Plymouth Punk Rock Market is a great event!

Always an awesome experience! Lots of variety and the staff is super helpful. We were helped by Jim last year during apple picking season and he remembered me and my husband this year. He is just THE BEST. Friendly, helpful, and knows where to find the good fruit. Cannot recommend enough. Thanks Jim!

We absolutely love this farm 🚜. Jim was great with showing us around the peaches, nectarines, pears and plums! He answered all our questions and easy going.

We were looking for something simple around South Shore area to do apple picking and came across CN Smith Farm. We came on a week day and it was pretty quiet. The stuff was very friendly and helpful to guide through raws that were opened for picking and how to properly pick the apple of the tree not to damage the branches ( its recommended to twist and not to pull the apple) Apples are delicious and were very easy to reach. They had Mac, Honey Crisp and Gala ready. We stopped by the farm store as well and got some farm vegetables and fruits ( peaches and plums that were not available for picking, but still available in small batches at the store).

What a great farm to visit . The folks are friendly and the variety is awesome 👍 Through the last few months I've been picking my own peaches and now it's apple season.. To much to list .

Took my girlfriend today to go apple, peach, nectarine, and pear picking! $50 for the mixed giant basket. Great staff (forgot their names but they showed us where to pick) and great tractor ride around the farm. Will definitely be back to get some apples and pumpkins before the season ends!

Apple Orchard! Absolutely beautiful 😍 they have over 50 kinds of apples plus fruits and vegetables and a store where they sell honey and many other things. Great time!

My daughter and I went apple picking there today. I call the farm a hidden gem. It was well staffed and everyone was courteous & helpful. They had many different types of apples ready for picking. It’s a wonderful place for families with farm animals, food and tractor rides around the property.

Fun (and kinda cheesy) escape room adventure. You make your way from room to room and solve the puzzles to advance. The props are good and our guide was fun.

Nice place for kids up to 12-13 years. We were put with 2 more families to get to 12 folks they need. Espionage was fun but a little short. The guide was nice and mentioned that there are 5 different endings so we may have gone longer if we solved few more things. You can buy both for $5 extra and use the second one within an year. They have a waiting area upstairs with lockers, coat racks and bathrooms.

Went with my 9 year old daughter recently and did both adventures which were a lot of fun. Abby, I think, did the first one which was the spy adventure and the pace was good, with a lot of puzzles to solve and things to find. There are a number of outcomes for this one for replay value. The second was the 20,000 Leagues adventure, hosted by Nicole, who also was great. Enough tips to get people going and kept the pace nicely with the puzzles to solve. Neither adventures were scary for the younger kids but there were a few moments of darkness. Anyway, doing the two adventures is a great deal, but you don't have to do them both on the same day if you buy the two, as you can do the second one within a year of purchase, which we didn't realise at the time.

Great birthday party for my 9 year old! Kids loved the "Spy Mission" - especially navigating the laser security system. It was a bit challenging for them but our group leader Mallory helped them through the adventure. Mallory was a great party host and made my daughter's birthday a special one!

This was actually my first experience at an escape room establishment. They have two different options available right now. We did the espionage scenario, and were put into a group that was doing a birthday celebration. The kids were all in the 7-10 range, so it didn't go as smoothly as possible. I had a good time and will be going back for the 18+ nights which are Thursday, Friday and Saturday after 5pm. When you buy your ticket, you can get a voucher for the other scenario, good for up to a year, for only 5 dollars. A good deal if you will be back. They gave seating and lockers upstairs, which is very convenient. There's also a small gift shop. This place is kid friendly and the staff were all very nice. Great for birthday parties as well. As a first experience with escape rooms, I had a good time and will be coming back.

Absolutely WONDERFUL experience. Staff were amazing and the puzzles were a blast. Each stage was different so even if one room stumps you hard chances are another one will be your shining moment. The immersion is something special with easy jokes and quips to keep people laughing and enjoying themselves. Cannot stress enough how perfect this place is for small groups (4) to really enjoy themselves with fun brain teasers and a fun storyline. 10/10 will ABSOLUTELY be coming back for more.

I brought seven 8 year old girls for a birthday adventure. Our host, Kit, was absolutely amazing. They helped the girls figure out what was needed and even noticed when some were feeling overwhelmed and showed them other interesting details about the room we were in. Kit tolerated a very excited, very loud, group incredibly well and they helped to make it a memorable celebration.

S dream come true coming to the PHOF! Such an awesome experience too. 3 stories high and you start your way from the top story working your way down to the gift shop which has a HUGE amount of official Patriots gear. Very interactive experience with simulators from kicking field goals to challenging plays, to intercepting game winning footballs. Such a cool experience.

A lot of cool history and immersive experiences.

Went before a game day. Definitely worth the entry fee. Lots of interactive exhibits as well as cool stuff from the Patriots hugely successful history

A fantastic experience! Highly recommend you visit the HOF and spend at least 1 hour walking through. The green screen experience was fun for children. The museum docent was fantastic and very knowledgeable. Oldest known football 🏈 on display as well. Lots of high tech interactive displays. Make sure you watch the 18 min 🍿 movie! It was a highlight!

5 stars must see so awesome vintage patriots and current players memorabilia. Best 10 dollars I ever spent. Sports shop is huge also this place was freaking awesome must see for any Pats fan. Stay and watch 18 min movie inside. Staff was very friendly. Badass!!!! The 6 trophies 🏆 is beautiful.

They did a wonderful job with the New England Patriots hall of fame. The history of the early years is fantastic. We met Frank, and he is very knowledgeable on the Patriots history. We also went up in the lighthouse. It was overcast ☁️ 😪 so the view was not very clear.

Just an awesome experience. Friendly staff greet you at many of the exhibits and are there to answer questions and provide facts. Connected to the pro shop. The interactive exhibits really make the experience fun. Great for the family and kids.

This June, we were thrilled to visit here since we hadn’t been in for many years. Finally, we made it. We really enjoyed it so much - all of the entire Gillette Stadium area! We spent 5 hours walking around and also went to the Lighthouse for viewing Gillette Stadium, which was amazing to see from the top. The Lighthouse attendant was meh. Later, my friend, who hadn’t been here for years, came back here with me last week, and I gave her a tour. We went back to the Lighthouse, and I asked a question to the new (top) attendant, Dylan, but he admitted that he was new. He is a very nice guy, very helpful, humble, and led us to the views with his explanation. We were very impressed with him better than the first one. I just want to say that Dylan is the best Lighthouse (top) attendant! Applaud Dylan for his excellent job!

Go Pats! We visited from out of state. Great facility for football fans. The pro shop is well stocked, the museum is great and the view from the lighthouse is spectacular! The lighthouse cost $5 per person, well worth the expense. Unfortunately, our vacation dates didn't align with a home game...

Great place! Gillette Stadium is a great place to catch a game or concert. The views from the seats are solid, the sound system is powerful, and the crowd makes every event feel bigger than life. Whether it’s a Pats game or a show the atmosphere is great. Beyond the action, the stadium itself is well-kept and easy to navigate. The food options are solid, and Patriot Place next door has plenty of spots to eat or hang out before and after. One of the coolest features is the new lighthouse making the venue stand out in a way that feels unique in Ne. If you ever get the chance to go, it’s absolutely worth it.

One of the better NFL stadiums I've been to. Very fan friendly. The ramps are gradual inclines, and there are alot of them. Food is decently priced for stadium food and is pretty good! Didn't look like there was a bad seat in the house. Overall a great experience for this Steelers fan.

Gillette Stadium is a really nice venue modern, clean, and well-organized. The atmosphere is incredible, especially on game days or during concerts. The facilities are top-notch, with great seating, good visibility from almost every spot, and plenty of food and drink options. Parking and access are well managed, and the energy of the crowd makes every visit memorable. A great place for any major event!

Had so much fun! Awesome seats! Great fans! Great staff!! Sam Adams on tap! Definitely take time to hit Patriot Place before of after the game!

What a class act Patriot Nation is! I've been in the loge seats before and they were great, I've been in the Club seats before and they were outstanding, now I've been in the Luxury suites and there's nothing other than Heaven that could top it! Mr Kraft you are a serious class act! Thank you for the on field experience! The service and the food was second to none. If you ever get a chance to go to a Luxury suite you're a fool for not going! Patriots Nation to the end!

Great shopping center to bring the family. Multiple stores for everyone and it is all centralized that makes it really nice. Parking can be tuff sometimes so you might have a far walk. But other than that it is great!

Absolutely love the environment and shops around the stadium.

We ate at Scorpion for tacos. Walked around. Very nice area.

Close to my house, plus in a pretty cool newly made plaza. Get off at Andrew station on the red line, then walk like 7 min across the bridge, and BAM your there. I always have a great time when i visit, and the employees are all a delight 😊

I've been waiting for this location to open and it was SO Worth the wait! The food is Flavorful, the drinks are Delicious and the customer service is GREAT! The staff knew their menu and serviced with a smile. I will say the rasta pasta had a bit too much heat but was quickly remedied. I can't wait to comeback!

Really nice place to walk around and eat since they have lots of restaurants and stores

Great place for walking and various restaurants and theater. Plus, home of the New England Patriots!!

This is my favorite spot in the area for taking my dogs on trail walks. The walking paths are clear and well-maintained. I appreciate the variety of trails available; there are some shorter paths for when I'm pressed for time, as well as a three-mile dam trail for longer walks.

Beautiful entrance but unfortunately that's all I got to see. I didn't realize you had to hike a bit and only had some time during my lunch break to kill. Would love to see what lies beyond with the trails. I didn't research it much before I went. But to pull in and park.. you won't be seeing much. But there are trails heading in all directions that lead to what appears to be Beautiful areas!

What a terrific spot! Educational signage with pictures. Plenty of directional signs. Trails along 3 Mile River. Ready to get to.

I saw at least a dozen dogs, and ALL were LEASHED!!!! Thank you Taunton!!! You have no idea how amazing it is for someone medically fragile (I have Ehlers Danlos Syndrome, which is like brittle bone syndrome except it’s my ligaments and tendons, not my bones, which are fragile) to be able to FREELY enjoy the park!!!! The quiet and fresh air were so so refreshing, and I wouldn’t have come if even one dog had been off leash (friendly dogs are the reason I dislocated my hip). So so grateful for dog parents who share the space, and show respect! This place has plenty of parking, a large picnic area, a children’s garden, and a variety of trails and restrooms (though those close around 4pm, while the park is open later). There’s even a bird conservation area when you enter, and it is so peaceful. I couldn’t make it the 1.5 miles in, but maybe I’ll work up to it as my body heals. Not flinching with anxiety every time a dog appears will help that. THANK YOU dog parents !!! Thank you park for enforcing this necessary measure!!!

A perfect little nature walk for a family to go on. My kids really loved the fairy garden, which coincides with the perfume garden path. It's winter, so it was different this time of year, but i can imagine how lovely it is in the spring or summer. What a hidden gem this place is for kids who want to explore and find the hidden fairy houses. I will be coming back again.

Boyden Park is a hidden gem in Taunton, offering a blend of natural beauty, recreational opportunities, and educational programs. Whether you’re looking for a peaceful hike, a family picnic, or a place to connect with nature, this park provides a welcoming environment for all.

What a beautiful nature trail so close to home it was a first for me and I am glad I went This is going to be my new spot for walks. Everyone on the trail was so nice you can see everyone was enjoying the day

Random detour to check this out. They light it up at Christmas time. Stations of the cross scenes are artistic and moving. The pilgrim stairs have such an energy I'd go back just for that. The jesus tomb was a litrke morbid for me bit definetly an experience. There is also a nice store but I didn't go in. Didn't see a bathroom on site.

I have been a few times for the Christmas lights. It is a super fun walk, there is also food available. It is a great holiday event, be prepared to wait in some traffic on your way in.

We went to National Shrine Of Lady La Salette on Tuesday, December 05th,2023. we our family. A few of my family members have never been to The National Shrine La Salette, my Mom & Best friend and older sister went years ago. This place is absolutely beautiful, so amazing! We lit a candle for my sister's upcoming surgery that was this Friday, 12/08. The people at the gift- shop were awesome and went out of their way to help me find that special little something! We all enjoyed this place so very much. We had such a wonderful fun time !! We are now going to go make it a " family tradition " going Every December 05th , because it has a good meaning and we all loved it very much so ! Wish it was like 10 degrees warmer.

Arrive before it opens to park, food items for sale, small rides, donkey, absolutely beautiful lights, Manger, everything you need for a winter wonderland walk, stories about Christmas.....magical for whole family. Purchase and light a candle for a loved one, grab some amazing hot cocoa or fried dough!!! Lights and admission free, must check out gift shop too, take extra cash or card 😀 #Christmaslights

Visited this place to see the Christmas celebration of lights. This was so beautiful. This was the first time I visited this place and am glad to have done so. This has to be one of the best Christmas lights in MA in 2020. We arrived at 5 pm but the main parking lot was already full and cars were moving in slow queues. However, beside the shrine, they have arranged for additional parking which saved the day as lots of people turn up during this time. Masks are mandatory. Food stalls are also present. Loved the fried dough. This is a perfect place to spend an evening with family during the holidays. Kid rides like carousel and toy trains were popular.

We try to go every year to see the Christmas lights. Always a beautiful bright time! I love the steps up to the Cross, and the signs that speak of peace in the different languages!!

La Salette Shrine is a beautiful church and retreat center for all. Father Giglio and other staff members are great, attentive, and wonderful to meet and learn from. I have been here several times, alone, with the family, and with friends; for Mass as well as to just stroll the grounds, for cultural events, and of course for workshops. It is a quality retreat center, a very beautiful church for worshipping, and a great place ti simply visit. I first heard of La Salette during Christmas season when I was told to visit their Nativities and Christmas lights, it was described as the main reason to visit. Though I agree that Christmas is a great time to visit La Salette, it has so much more to offer the rest of the year as well, from religious events to a well-stocked religiois Gift Shop. There are beautiful paths all around the grounds for a contemplative walk, including a Via Crucis, a Rosary Walk and hidden gems that you should discover on your own when visiting. It has enough to see and do to fill a long stay, alone or in a group. And there is a Retreat Center that offers fantastic workshops and retreats. La Salette is for any visitor, but Christians will especially find it a perfect site for inspiration, renewal, and spiritual communion
