Overall very nice day me and my wife ate at the lobster land food was very good service was good too meet the cast wicked tuna

Landmarks we Know. Back to Gloucester exploring the coast and the Essex Coastal Scenic Byway. We visited this memorial in 1979. It is great to be back to remember our fellow sailors. The inscription is from the Bible, specifically Psalm 107:23, 24, which reads: "They that go down to the sea in ships, that do business in great waters; These see the works of the LORD, and his wonders in the deep". #abuelosmochileros_landmarks #abuelosmochileros_gloucester #abuelosmochileros_massachusetts

It is wonderful path in the middle of the city. The flowers are just so beautiful and it makes the walk around there worthwhile. You can see also go in the water as there is a mini beach version of it. You can walk to the rocks and enjoy the view of the water. Ample parking available on the street. The most amusing things is that you can see the bridge open for boats to cross which causes traffic but it's nice to watch. Well maintained and definitely worth stopping here for the walk!

This entire Waterfront area is very nice for walking sitting on a bench looking at the ocean and taking advantage of the lobster roll truck. One of the best lobster rolls I've had in a long time in the ladies running it were so pleasant and when I expressed how good the food was they were genuinely appreciative

Beautiful!!! Walking path right by the water. A park is close with rocks to climb for a better view.. Bonus.. They had flowers beds down the strip between the water and road. 💕

Our walk was extremely pleasant and relaxing despite the slow rain. The park and flower beds are gorgeous.

Beautiful historic town! Recommend stopping by.

$25 dollars for each car. Very popular and crowded, but has lots of space and a long strip of sandy beach to accommodate almost everybody.

I love this beach. They've got everything you expect of a privately run operation. The trustees do an excellent job with daily upkeep of the premises. You must order a "day pass" online "The Trustees of Reservations at Crane Beach" website where you can see in and off season rates and availability. Plenty of parking. Changing rooms with bathrooms, no flush composting toilets, and plenty of sinks with always full soap dispensers and multiple hands driers. Changing stalls are convenient so you can easily put on sun tan lotion properly everywhere and change into your swimsuit privately. They also have multiple outdoor shower head wash stations for after your day is done you can get that clammy beachy feel off of your body (would advise to bring some body wash as that helps to have a quick sudsy clean). They have a shop to commemorate your day at the beach with t-shirts, hoodies, and such like. They also have a place to eat if you don't come pre-prepared with food. There are miles of sand dune trails with the trailhead marker in the back right corner (as you come in at your 4 o'clock, roughly) of the main parking lot to access them all. Be prepared and pace yourself as a few miles will feel like more due to the nature of sand, and there are some tough trails that will leave you huffing and puffing if you try to run them for any length of time.

Pretty big beach, shallow beach, calm waters, life guards, need parking pass!

We drove for 3 hours and the manger didn’t allowed us to get in because it was full and no exceptions… this was my first time ever, I wasn’t aware that you need to buy a ticket a head of time… I wish people were nicer at the gate …. however the land around was beautiful such as Caste Hill House Great House… highly recommended it… the workers were much better and friendly…

Huge beach with fine sand. Ample parking available. Water is clear but a bit cold (came in mid June). Great for me but my girlfriend only went in and out. Parking requires prior reservation and is not cheap on weekends ($40) but overall well worth it

It is one of the best beaches in New England. I have come here a few times with my family already, and we always have a great time. The water was a bit chilly today, but the views are picturesque, and the sand is perfect for making sandcastles.

This is one of my favorite beaches! From the scenic drive into the area, you will find a huge parking lot. The parking is by reservation only, so you must plan ahead. There are very clean restrooms, changing areas, and outdoor showers. There is a snack Shack where you can even order ahead to save time. The store offers all the things you may have forgotten like sunscreens, pails and shovels, towels as well as novelty items such as Crane Beach clothing, gear and even lovely created lotions an scents that will remind you of the beach every time you wear them! The walk to the beach is a bit long, but the mats through the dunes make it quite easy to get your carts to the sand. Once you are on the sand, you will feel it it very soft! The lifeguard tower serves as a nice reference point for choosing your spot. There is also an ATV that will shuttle the disabled, limited mobility, and elderly, so an extra 5-Stars for being accessible to everyone! The expansive beach has plenty of room for swimming, boogie boarding, and walking the shore to collect sea treasures. The waves and the shore slope are gentle, so getting in and out of the water is not a chore. Highly recommended and is almost always on the Best Beaches of New England list!

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.

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.

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.

We had a great time at this museum. And of all the museums to choose from I'm happy with my choice of prioritizing this one. Tickets go on sale the night before (10pm) for the very next day. I did check at that time and there were lots of tickets for each slot left so I didn't buy it then. I bought the tickets online the day of (we were able to plan the day more accurately this way). Although it was busy they seemed to still be selling seats at the door. (This time of year wasn't busy in Salem in general). The presentation was fantastic. We got seats in the middle of the room but some were seated against the wall. Their experience would be drastically different as the story is told with the exhibits on the wall going around the room. You get lots of themes that would explain the witch trials that took place in Salem. It's a great starting point into the story of Salem. There's lots of books if you want to further dive into any of the themes. The experience takes at least an hour.

(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.

If you’re going to Hampton Beach for the first time, be sure to research parking ahead of time. It gets pretty crowded, at least in the summer. The beaches are clean. On certain days they have free concerts right off the beach along the walkway at the main building. Restaurants and shops line the road and there are plenty of options. Riptides are prevalent so swim with caution.

This is a well maintained beach with clean restrooms. There is a camping area near the road for campers if you have a fully contained RV or trailer, no tents allowed. The beach area and entry to water is fairly flat making it easy to walk and enter shallow water. There is a rocky jetty for fishing. The hardest part is walking through loose sand to get to beach; I wish they had a mat or boardwalk to make it easier for hauling wagons, coolers, chairs and such. Overall great experience.

Love visiting here. Parking can be tough. Much busier on the weekends. Many evenings in the summer they have events going on regularly, fireworks, live music, sandcastle building, etc. Fairly family friendly, but some parts of town can have people i wouldn't want around my children, but you can just avoid them pretty easily. Sand and water are great.

Hard to get same site for 3 nights. We had to move our trailer and saw many other people do the same. Nice location. On the ocean. Can't wait to go back, if we lucky to get a spot. Full hookup, water/ electric.

Traveled up to Hampton Beach, NH for our 4th year attending the Seafood Festival. This 3 day event is an absolute must. Such a great venue, food, entertainment and can access it all conveniently on foot. I recommend securing a local motel on the strip so one can walk and take a desired break in between. Local and visiting Vendors provide so many options as well as the music entertainment over the 3 day event. Location and beach is beautiful with life guards present. Local bars also provide great food, entertainment & atmosphere after hours. Looking forward to returning next year! 5*****

One of the best beach parks we’ve ever visited! Hampton Beach State Park exceeded our expectations in every way. From the moment we arrived, everything was well-maintained, organized, and welcoming. We had reserved parking online (which I highly recommend during peak season), and the process was smooth — staff checked our name and plate, and we were parked in no time. The parking lot is close to the beach, so we didn’t have to walk far with our gear. The beach itself is beautiful — wide, clean, and covered with soft sand. It’s perfect for walking, playing, or just relaxing by the waves. The water was chilly but refreshing, and the lifeguards on duty gave us peace of mind while the kids played near the shoreline. We found plenty of space even on a busy Saturday, and the whole atmosphere felt safe and family-friendly. Facilities were excellent. Clean restrooms, changing areas, and a small playground added extra convenience for families. The staff was friendly and helpful. It was also nice to see how well the park enforces rules like no littering and no idling, which helps keep the air fresh and the area pleasant for everyone. We stayed well into the evening and watched the sunset — absolutely breathtaking. Afterward, we walked along the lively boardwalk just outside the state park, which was full of shops, arcades, restaurants, and live music. It’s the perfect way to end a beach day. Although we didn’t use the campground this time, we saw plenty of RVs set up near the water, and it looked like a great option for those staying overnight. In short, Hampton Beach State Park is clean, beautiful, well-managed, and offers a great balance of nature and fun. Whether you’re visiting for a few hours or planning a full beach day, it’s well worth it. We’ll definitely be coming back — maybe next time with the RV!

Hampton Beach NH is a great place to visit it has everything one would want like a wide sandy beach, plenty of restaurants and entertainment. I always enjoy my time there both in season and off season.

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.

Great place to eat if in Boston. Many different options for food in an historic location. Only downside is that it can get VERY crowded during peak eating times and seating is limited to the center court or maybe outside. Lines for ordering can get confusing. Food we had was delicious. If coming to Boston, you have to try clam chowder at least once. Bathrooms are limited and small, and look like they haven’t been updated in at least 50 years, if not 100. That considered, they were still fairly clean. Parking is almost non-existent; I’d recommend an Uber/Lift to get there. Save yourself the headache of finding a spot. Parking garages may be in the area but cost $20+. I would go again if in the area.

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.

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!

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

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.

An absolute marvel of ancient history covering different cultures dating back to 200 BC with so many unique and rare artifacts on display. Looking at those artifacts recovered from Giza tomb brings a different perspective to history and how the civilization used to trive back then. Truly majestic and I would highly recommend. Asian artifacts enclosure was great too. So many exquisite paintings at display which would leave you in awe. Oh yes, did I mention a lovely concept they had going outside the museum main entrance where they have some tables setup, they give you some supplies, click your picture and you can use those supplies to decorate your pictures and get it framed. My Little ones enjoyed it a lot sitting under the shade. Parking can be a challenge and expensive too provided you reach early and find one. We parked in one of the garage and museum was walkable from there. If you are in Boston then this museum is a must see. Cheers!!

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.

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.

Fenway Park is one of the Mecca's of MLB that every baseball fan needs to visit in person. It was great attending a Boston Red Sox game in the one of the oldest baseball parks in America. The food was good and at a decent price, but it was the surrounding bars and restaurants around the park that made it a great overall baseball and sporting experience!

Being a Cub fan from Chicago, home to the most iconic stadium in all of sport, I must say that I continue to be impressed with the condition of Fenway Park. It's no Wrigley Field, and it being a few years older, doesn't make it "grander", but it's a fun place to see a game. The fans are pretty great, and supportive of their team, but the place emptied out long before the game was over because the Sox were getting their butts kicked. You don't ever see that at Wrigley... no matter what the score. I was in Yankee Stadium in this trip out East too, and I continued to be unimpressed with that ballpark.

Came out from California, San Francisco Giants fan. Got a real good look at this beautiful ballpark. I think what makes it special is the foul lines. Makes it look like an old ballpark I used to play in when I was 12 years old. Just kidding. But it does make it look really authentic when you're young playing baseball. We had a great time with the guide. He was very knowledgeable. And he was from California. I would strongly suggest this place if you are a baseball fan. The tour is great.

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!

Was disappointed to find the visitors center closed during the posted open hours. There were no rangers or anyone around. I'm sure that's due to governmental budget cuts and not the fault of park personnel. It's a beautiful park with incredibly preserved historical structures and plenty of informative signage. The trails are well-kept and there were lots of great birding opportunities and I saw turtles and frogs/froglets in the pond near the visitors center. I do plan on getting over here more since it's my local park.

Beautiful National Park with loads of American History. Walking paths galore, some shaded some without shade. Locals clearly enjoy the park for cycling and recreation. Two visitor centers, the main one has very limited hours, the North Bridge has more regular hours. Many rangers out throughout the park and available to answer questions and tell the history. Tours are also available for a fee. Park is also close to many other great historical spots in MA.

I learned so much more about American History! We only had one day to spend in the area. So we visited 3 sites: the North Bridge in Concord, the Minute Man National Historical Park in Lincoln, and the Lexington Battle Green in Lexington. We could have spent an entire week here visiting all of the Revolution sites as well as the literary sites from the Transcendentalist era, which I had no idea were so related! If you have time, rent a bike and follow the path of the British regulars as they were pushed back to Boston.

Very nice historical place, describing the beginnings of the American Revolution. I recommend the video at the visitor center and also walking the trail that connects the different building and places of interest. Concord is close by and worth visiting.

The Beginning of Independence! My daughter (13) and I visited the Minute Man National Historical Park on July 1, 2025. The Park Rangers were extremely knowledgeable and the park was in excellent condition. The Park marks the first "battle" of the Revolutionary War at Lexington & Concord. This is where things escalated to a point of no return between the British and the Colonists. Highly recommend visiting and taking in the very place that led to American Independence.

We loved this non traditional visitor center. you have to walk a ways but there ia a nice path, no stairs to the building. The mocie ia unique and aboit 45 minutes. We thought it was very good. Check the official website for times, they are different than the posted ones in the parking lot. They closed at noon because they dont have air conditioning.

An absolute MUST visit for EVERYONE who visits Massachusetts! This is where the Revolutionary War began! You are walking through History! You can just feel everything in the atmosphere! I could have spent all day here and still it wasn’t enough. Take your time, pay your respects to the events that happened here, go visit some of the museums. You will not be disappointed.

Beautiful September Sunday to take a walk from the adjacent parking to the visitors center at the top of the hill. There are lots of nice trails leading off the main path along the way. The river was low but lots of folks with rooftop boats enjoying the water. There was a memorial service in session on the grounds of the visitor center that was well attended by about 300 people. It is an easy walk with plenty to read and learn along the way. The parking lot was very full but luckily found one of the last spots. I would get there earlier next time. Not nearly as busy on a weekday.

It was absolutely beautiful, and it was amazing to be standing in a place of such meaningful history. It was also very cool to see the residences of people such as Louisa May Alcott in the way to the Old North Bridge, as well as the Old Manse of Ralph Waldo Emerson at the bridge itself.

Beautiful home and gardens. I noticed they have put up protections around a snapping turtle nest off the path - good conservation efforts! The park rangers were very well informed and I enjoyed the visit.

North Bridge in Concord is a quick and easy stop for anyone who appreciates American history. It's only 10 minutes from the main highway, doesn't cost anything to see, and its historical significance as where the Revolutionary War began speaks for itself. It's a quick and easy stop if you're just passing through, otherwise you can make a day of it with the area offering a myriad of other historical sites to visit in addition to North Bridge. All of this said, I highly recommend it as a stop for all lovers of history.

If you are interested in American history you should visit here. If you want a shorter walk, or have physical limitations, park in the lot off Monument Street. Regardless, also stop at the Visitor Center.

Really amazing experience to stand in the same place where the first fights go birth the nation happened. Incredibly beautiful lane that’s well maintained.

Honestly, my emotions surprised me. The crowd dispersed briefly and I ended up on the bridge alone. It was beautiful, quiet and simple yet profound. The farmer statue reminds you of what happened here. There’s even a small tribute to the British who died at the battle of Concord. I didn’t realize Hawthorne bought the adjacent land. Take time to travel Author’s Row along the drive up from Lexington. Definitely a location worth visiting!!

I haven’t been thinking to be like parking in years and it feels a little bit more modern than when I used to go back in the 90s. Plenty of bathrooms and it’s wheelchair accessible. If you need one, they rent one. There is food on the property and it is so so it’s your typical carnival amusement park food. The staff was super friendly even walking in through security what look like not metal detectors but scanners we had purchased our tickets online and walked in in 10 seconds the website was easy to use and we use the online map if you have young kids anywhere from the ages of 2 to 7 they have an endless amount of rides for them I was actually amazed because most amusement parks don’t focus on little kids too much. Canobie Lake Park. Does they have a great waterpark plenty of lifeguards around. I was a little sad that the train wasn’t running and the boats but everything else seem to be working fine. It appears they do sell alcohol on the property not just during Oktoberfest because there were signs that said no alcohol on this point to get on most rides, we waited no more than 10 minutes. There is plenty of parking in the parking lot and a ton of bus parking and handicap spots probably the longest ride we did was walking from the front entrance to our car, which was about a 8 to 10 minute walk. I do believe you can pay to get better parking spots. We went on a Friday and they were plenty of schools and organizations that we’re having trips. Everyone look like they were having fun. The bathrooms were super clean.

Enjoyable park with water park. The park isn't too large and all the attractions are very close to each other making it very efficient to visit. Most of the riders are decent. There are good offerings for smaller kids but kids taller than 48" will have more fun. Depending on the ride, the waiting lines will advance in average every 5 minutes. To calculate your waiting time, check how many people fit per ride and guestimate how many people are waiting. One big negative for me is the average food quality that is really not great. The BBQ is likely your best shot. I hope this can improve.

Canobie Lake brings back so many nostalgic memories! We recently returned to Screemfest after years had gone by. It still has the same vibes, same rides, and same food. While some of our childhood favorites have disappeared, they have been quickly replaced with some new favorites. Untamed is by far the best ride in the park! The anticipation and excitement that followed made me want to ride it more. Other favorites include the Yankee Cannonball and the Pirate Ship. The lines aren't too long compared to other theme parks - the longest we waited was about 40 minutes for one of the haunted houses. Canobie does an awesome job with their Screemfest. The decorations and set-up were well done. My only complaint is that they shuffled the line through the houses too quickly - not much scares when you see what to expect directly in front of you. In my opinion, Carnivus was by far the best house out of the five. I absolutely love this park and will continue to visit for future generations. However, I need to let everyone know that the price is steep, and in line with more famous parks. $136 for two people seems outrageous, but I had a great time nonetheless.

We had an amazing time at Canobie Lake Park! I went with my fiancé and we absolutely loved it — especially the haunted houses! 👻 Everything was so well done and full of fun details. One thing that really caught my attention was the art piece “Helena,” it’s stunning and adds such a mysterious touch to the park’s atmosphere. The staff was friendly, the lines moved fast, and the whole experience was worth every minute. Totally recommend visiting during the Halloween season — it’s magical and spooky at the same time! 🎢🎃

Canobie Lake Park, awesome time for the family!! We spent the day, short lines on a Friday. And ALL of the fun rides and experiences we had as kids, that we can now share with our family!! Plenty of places to stay hydrated, food options are plenty in the park, but expect to pay park prices $$$ for food & drinks. A Steak & Cheese and a beer 🍺 for lunch hit the spot. Parking was free and park access was easy. Buy your tickets ahead of time, and an easy QR scan for entry. Staff was friendly and great with the whole group. Thanks Canobie Lake Park team.

We had a blast taking the kids to Canobie! It was just as much fun as I remember from when I was a kid. The food is a bit pricey (it is an amusement park) but there is a good variety, gluten free options, and allergy information available on the website. There are water fountains throughout the park so refilling a water bottle is no issue to stay hydrated! There are various gift shops and food vendors spread across the park so you are able to get snacks (and things like bandaids!) when you need them. There is also a decent amount of security officers so you can feel confident leaving a stroller at the end of a ride. There are lockers at the entrance of the park and you are also allowed to leave the park and come back (you just need to get your hand stamped) so you can securely lock items in your vehicle as well. While the park isn't huge, good shoes are a must! If you plan on visiting the water park, you will need appropriate swimwear. There are rides for all ages, but the options are the most limited for those under 36", but there are still rides available.

I’ve been going to Canobie Lake Park for over 20 years, and it’s still one of my favorite places to visit. Every time I go, I notice how well they keep the grounds, everything is clean, beautiful, and inviting. They’ve been extending the theming around the rides too, which makes it feel more special. For example, the Wizard of Oz area has a rainbow of flowers planted, and there are shaped bushes around the Davinci ride, plus gorgeous floral displays all over the park. It really gives the feeling of a small Disney park. There’s so much to do here: a boat ride around the lake, sky ride, train ride, a big water park, and plenty of games. The shows are fun, the food options are good, and there are lots of clean bathrooms and shaded seating areas. Yes, the ticket price may seem a little high, but once you’re inside the experience is worth it. It’s a full day of fun for all ages, and the park just keeps getting better.

Nice zoo. I wish they had more, but it's nice for the area. They had a lot of apes and monkeys, which were neat. Some animals like the tiger were hard to see as they were away and asleep. I feel a couple of animals could have had more space. I really like the informative signs throughout that gave a lot of detail about the various animals. I feel this zoo is mostly focused for kids and families more than my age, but it was good to check it out after not being there for years. I enjoyed the sky ride over the park. There are some better deals if you buy tickets ahead of time.

Went to the Jack O Lantern Spooktacular with my kids, met up w my brother& his family there for a cousins outing. The park is decorated so adorably all throughout. Lots of opportunities for pictures. Not just inundated with a million jack o lanterns to fill space, lots of really amazing artwork. Kids had fun, we had fun, only surprise was how few vendor stations were open but hey, overall a terrific night for the family 🎃

Buying tickets online in advance saved us money and made entry easy. This was our third visit, the last being about a decade ago. We had a great time, especially the petting zoo and close encounters with many deers. However, we felt the overall the zoo looked outdated. We wished the lion enclosure was larger, similar to the camels’, as it was quite small. The reptile exhibit was also cramped, with only lizards, toads, and large spiders. My wife was hoping to see snakes, but there weren’t any, which was disappointing. The staff were friendly and busy with their tasks. Oh, and those three cheetah cubs were adorable! We’d definitely go again in the future, hoping to see more animals and maybe a larger lion enclosure.

Southwick’s Zoo is a wonderful experience for all ages! The zoo is impressively clean and well-maintained, making it a comfortable place to explore. The variety of animals is great, and they all appear healthy and well cared for. One of the highlights is the deer forest — getting to walk among and feed the deer was such a unique and peaceful experience. The facilities, including restrooms and dining areas, were clean and easy to access throughout the visit. A great family-friendly destination!

Great zoo. You can see it all in 4hrs or take your time and enjoy a full day there. Fun for all ages. Food options are pretty good. GF options available as well as pack a cooler bring your wagon and have a picnic.

Best zoo I’ve ever been to! I have lived in New England nearly all of my life, but I’d never heard of Southwick’s Zoo until this past week. It was wonderful. My toddler and I spent all day there (10am-4pm), most of it with friends, and we still didn’t see everything! I’d guess you can see more when you’re not going at a 3-year-old’s pace, but with 200 acres of zoo I don’t know if you’d see the whole place. It was well kept, the animals appeared well cared for. We saw several of them eating which was neat and kept them out for viewing longer. There were so many large exotic animals, and SO MANY MONKEYS! The carousel was very nice, as was the playground. And the deer park! How cool to get to feed the deer! Bring quarters so you can get corn. We’re looking forward to returning again.

A huge zoo with a ton of animals and plenty of activities for kids of all ages including a train ride, petting zoo, and deer forest that make the experience unique. We also love their holiday themes experiences for Halloween and Christmas, making it a point to visit every year. They also have awesome drinks for the grown ups! I wish there were more quick easy food options that wasn't just fried concession food. There is a small deli with pre-packaged sandwiches that are decent but we generally end up bringing our own lunches.

My aunt and I visited a few days ago and had a great time! The atrium is completely full of hundreds of beautiful butterflies and greenery. The staff were personable, knowledgeable, and informative. We spent about an hour and a half soaking in the surroundings and about ten minutes peeking through the indoor exhibit. I’d love to go back sometime. Can’t forget to mention the little quails, too!

What a magical place. Brought our three kids ages 3, 4 and 6, they thoroughly enjoyed seeing the many beautiful butterflies. The butterfly area has brick paths winding through beautiful gardens. The educational area had smaller exhibits with unique species. There is a big covered area outside with picnic tables. Ended up spending a little over an hour with the butterflies. There is a staff member in the butterfly area to answer questions. Probably not as exciting for older kids unless they are interested in butterflies/flowers.

Love it here! Came when I was really little and hadn’t been in ages. Decided to come again and was so happy I did. SO many butterflies, kind and knowledgeable staff. Very homey and cute. There were even button quails running around! Felt like I was in a fairy garden.

It was a beautiful experience to see you those stunning butterflies! Definitely worth the trip! Great for family outings for the little ones. Plenty of parking! Hefty entrance fee of $14.00, a little high for just going in and out, the stay is no more than 1 hour.

Took my family here on a weekday during spring break. Tons of butterflies and bugs to look at. The woman at the counter said to wear white to get the butterflies to land on you. There were a lot of kids there and the space can fill up quickly as it is small. I recommend getting there when they open.

The Butterfly Place in Westford, MA is a truly enchanting destination, offering a beautiful and immersive experience for all ages. As soon as you step inside, you're greeted by a lush, vibrant environment filled with a wide array of stunning butterflies fluttering freely among diverse plants and colorful flowers. The atmosphere is serene and magical, making it easy to spend a good amount of time simply observing these delicate creatures up close. The space is well-maintained, and the thoughtful design allows for excellent photo opportunities and a memorable walk-through. Beyond the main butterfly house, The Butterfly Place provides a wonderful educational component that enhances the visit. The attached educational area is packed with fascinating information about the life cycle of butterflies and various species, making it a great learning experience for both children and adults. The staff are exceptionally welcoming and knowledgeable, happy to answer questions and share interesting facts, which adds a personal touch to the visit. Their passion for the butterflies is evident and contributes significantly to the overall positive experience. Completing the perfect outing, The Butterfly Place also features a charming gift store with a variety of butterfly-themed items, and there is plenty of parking available, making the logistics of the trip stress-free. Whether you're a family looking for a fun and educational activity or a small group seeking a peaceful and beautiful escape, this place is well worth the trip. The combination of the beautiful butterfly house, the informative exhibits, and the friendly staff makes The Butterfly Place a five-star destination that I highly recommend.

Had such a fun and cute family day here!! Location is easy to get to & u can buy tickets online or in person. The exhibits are all well marked and very informational💯 We especially loved the indoor heated dome full of free flying butterfly’s. It’s so cool ur allowed to have then land on you as long as its not on ur fingers. So many diff kinds and colors it it Truely a beautiful experience!

Beautiful piece of property and excellent wine! My husband and I did the tour with a tasting and it was awesome! Our guide (Derek or Darryl I believe) was very knowledgeable and engaging! We bought 3 bottles of wine when we left! We also ate lunch at the Knoll while we were there. The figgy piggy pizza was great but everything else was sub par and over priced. I guess you can’t expect much from a winery in terms of food, but still disappointing. Next time we will book a reservation at J’s restaurant on site. We did not Apple pick but it was available while we were there and lots of people were doing it! It’s a family friendly place(dogs too!) and a great outing ! Highly recommend reservations during peak season!

My favorite place for apple picking after my children became teenagers. The property is lovely, and everything is laid out well. Price for the 1/2 bushel bag was very reasonable (no farm animals, no kid-centric entertainment, no hedge maze. The terrain doesn't have a lot of hills, so it's easy to get where you need to go. Apple picking is fun and can be completed at your own pace. The apple trees are clearly identifiable with signage, color coded ribbons, map with descriptions and key to what apple tree has what ribbon colors. I spent 90 minutes meandering around and got 6-7 different varieties of apples (there were attempting least 4-5 varieties that I skipped). There was even one variety that was marked in the orchard but not on the map; it was a happy surprise. The Orchard also offers antique varieties of apples. To find out about what varieties are being picked and when, you can sign up to be on the mailing list to get the updates/notification. The antique apples tend to be ones you do not see much in a supermarket or can be ones that are great for cider making. We go for the antiques varieties that are good for eating or baking. Our favorites this past season were Cox Orange Pippins, Snow, and Kandil Sinap. My family enjoys this orchard because it's easy to navigate, is less chaotic, and is very organized. My daughter and I have planned to have a mom and daughter outing one she is 21 years old to have some wine and food... and walk off the alcohol with some apple picking!

This place was such a cute vibe. I went here with a couple of friends and we really enjoyed our time. There was live music which was nice while sippin on a sangria. I got the turkey club with a side of fries and I was actually super surprised how much I enjoyed my meal. It’s always hard to get a sandwich that I like and this was was soooooo gooood. I will definitely be back!

Absolutely love Nashoba Winery! Every visit is such a treat — the grounds are beautiful, the wine and beer are always delicious, and the atmosphere is so welcoming. The staff truly make the experience extra special — everyone is so friendly and knowledgeable, especially the team in the store. They’re always happy to offer recommendations and take the time to chat, which makes each visit feel personal and memorable. Can’t wait to go back again soon!

Last Sunday I was invited to go to lunch with my daughter. I was pleasantly surprised! The weather was beautiful as was the scenery. Food was delicious as well. We had a server by the name of Adam that was wonderful. He served our drinks in a timely manner. I was so pleased with food, service, drinks and atmosphere that I went back today and bought a gift certificate to give to my nephew and his girlfriend. I know they will enjoy it.

This was my first time visiting Nashoba Valley Winery, and overall my wife and I had a great experience. Upon first impression, I thought the grounds could use a bit more upkeep, but everything else made up for it. Parking was easy thanks to two very helpful attendants directing traffic. On the way to the Knoll area, we were greeted by friendly staff, which set a great tone for the day. A tip for first-time visitors: definitely make reservations for whatever you plan to do. The food was delicious—highly recommend the Figgy Piggy! I wasn’t a big fan of the Birria Tacos, but that’s just personal taste. The wines were fantastic, and you absolutely have to try the wine slushi. We did the tasting tour with Darrel as our guide—he was knowledgeable and made the experience enjoyable, though it started a bit late due to others arriving behind schedule (which was frustrating but out of the staff’s control). The winery is busiest in the Fall and is only closed four days a year. One thing I’d suggest is for their website to be a little more detailed about the different types of tastings available, especially for first-time visitors like me. All in all, it was a memorable trip, and I’ll definitely be going back!

Love this winery! Had an amazing time with my family today and very much enjoyed the live music and all the dogs! The staff here is extremely friendly and inviting, especially Delia and Hannah who greeted us at the entrance and were so helpful and informative on where everything is as this was our first time here as a family. They really brightened our day with their joyful personalities and just made our first time here even better. Will definitely be coming back again!!!

Such a wonderful location!!! Ryan and Amie were both incredibly sweet and helpful, with both my questions and my purchase. Would definitely recommend!

Great store the customer service is really nice. . The items in the stores are well arranged, and pleasant experience. Could we go back in the store?

The women Kiana that helped me last night was wonderful and so patient with my indecisiveness! 🤣 Will definitely be coming back soon!

Very impressed with my first visit to the store - I stopped in to browse and was so pleasantly surprised with the deals and assistance from Anastasia that I made a purchase. Will be back again for sure!

Thank you ! We had an amazing experience with Anastasia ! Super friendly and helpful ! We will definitely come back ! 🤓🤓🤓

Terrible customer service. I don't know why, but they spoke to me condescendingly and refused to refund money for a product that I didn't use and had all the appropriate tags that indicated that the product was new and unused... I don't know the reasons for this attitude, but in any case, I don't recommend this store.

I had the worst experience here. The girl working on Saturday, July 13th, was incredibly rude to my mother and me. I take my time with big purchases like bags because I know I'll use them often. I was deciding between a bag in the store and a Coach bag I saw recently. She asked if we needed help three times in 30 minutes, and each time I politely declined. The last time, she asked if we needed help with prices, and I politely declined again and smiled, but she gave a rude look afterward. I always try to assume the best, so I left with my mom and asked if it was just me or if she really was being rude. My mom noticed her tone and expression, and we were both very offended. I left quickly because she made me uncomfortable, but I knew I wanted to buy a small coin purse. I was nervous to return because I hate confrontation and felt so unwelcome. When we came back, she sarcastically said, "Welcome back." The man who rang us up was kind and non-judgmental. I don't know what her problem was. I don't know if she thought we were stealing or couldn't afford anything, but she was very rude. I mean it's the Marc Jacob OUTLETS! Why are we behaving like this? Immediately after I drove to a coach store and bought the other bag I had been looking for. Maybe I am sensitive, but she ruined my day and I hope she stops being such a mean girl (atleast when she's at work). BOO! 🍅 🍅 🍅

Went here last night with my Mom 11/08/24. To see Ain't too proud to beg The Life and Times of The Temptations. The performance was rather good . The performers were a " little chucky." But still really talented and still a pretty good show. The biggest issue with THT is that there's so many volunteers ( who don't seem like they care and do nothing) and less engaged with the people. A lot of Elderly volunteers, and they didn't know much and barely interacted with people into auditorium. The THT , needs a like bit of ( TLC ) , still quite pretty and differently needs some explanation like there foyer and the lobby they need to do something or you get a drink / souvenir or nothing at all. I didn't even have time to use the men's bathrooms the line ls were so long, and so we're the lines for snacks / beverages . They didn't even take our money our at the stand. We were going to order a cookie, and they just passed by us. Overall still a great performance. The performers needed more attire , the where they were wearing alot of the same clothes . They needed more of a variety of clothing and such like props etc.

I attended a performance of Shen Yun and I had a good time in spite of the cramped seats in the balcony. My friend, Author Itis and his brother Bruce complained and let me know it! The staff were professional and security did not give people a hard time. There is a metal detector at the entrances. I would empty your pockets before entering and have your ticket 🎫 ready before the metal detector. The lines to get in were long but they did move smoothly. I would try to arrive early but I had issues with parking 🅿️ so I was seated as the performance started. I liked the inside with its lights, chandeliers and ornate ceiling. The sound was good and my view 🙈 from the balcony was enjoyable. The men's bathroom was in good condition. The Shen Yun performance and choreography is a mixture of ballet 🩰, folk, tumbling and gymnastics. Though the man ♂️ and woman ♀️ who narrated the show said that the styles of dance originated from Chinese folk dance. Bright 🌞 vibrant colors from the costumes and the digital screen catch 🪝 the eyes 👀! The orchestra is a combination of both Chinese and European instruments. There are social and political messages that might be controversial. I ordered my ticket 🎟️ online and the price of the service fee was expensive! Be aware before ordering. I paid $85 so it really drove up the price. Was Shen Yun worth the $300+ ticket? No. But I did enjoy the show and so did the audience. I hope the performers and musicians receive a good wage from their excellent 👌 performances! I did speak 🗣️ to Chris and I had a pleasant conversation about my purchase. I purchased through Shen Yun and Chris was concerned that I was overcharged by a secondary seller. That is good customer service! If there is a performance I really want to see, I would consider visiting this theater 🎭 again!

Great theater, outstanding staff, really overpriced beverages and extremely narrow small sits. Excellent acoustics and great view from anywhere in the orchestra sitting area. I came to Brad Williams comedy show and was positively surprised by 2 opening comedians as well as a meet and greet at the end where we could take pictures with all the comedians and get autographs, buy merchandise and that was simply amazing!

Great venue. Saw a concert and it was an amazing experience. Great acoustics and theater is nice. Lots of food and beverage choices within walking distance to grab a bite and drink before the show.

Don't let the outside construction ward you off from coming inside to see a show. The line moved seamlessly. Well staffed. Bathrooms were clearly marked and very clean. I sat in gold circle orchestra. The seats were comfortable and there was plenty of leg room. The sound system was great. Lighting was amazing. I liked that there were no stairs, it was sloped and carpeted. The drink prices were reasonable. Bottled water was 3.00. Easy in and out of the theater. I will attend again now that I know how amazing this page is.

What a great visit we had while attending a performance of “A Christmas Carol”. I was so impressed with all manner of the production, from the sets and scenery, the music, lighting to the acting. I am looking forward to viewing more productions at The Hanover Theater very much and can highly recommend doing so.

Nice theatre. Seats were comfortable and spacious. Staff/volunteers were friendly and informative.

Beautiful museum. Some incredible exhibits and historical items. My only minor complaint was that the Higgins Armor exhibit won’t be open until the fall. My daughter enjoyed trying on the armor as well.

Visited the peaceful kingdom exhibit where a collection of artists interpret the main seminal painting. Spent a fascinating 45 minutes here.

We got married a couple weeks ago at the Worcester Art Museum and it was amazing! Our wedding coordinator, Julie, and her team were so helpful. The museum is also just such a beautiful place; we got the most gorgeous pictures! I recommend coming here for a visit and I 100% recommend it for events.

I was pleasantly surprised to see Egyptian and Sumerian artifacts at this museum. Loved the art and of course the Egyptian and Sumerian stuff. I thought they inherited the medieval armor but I only saw 1. Kids enjoyed the scavenger hunt and my 2 youngest did enjoy the story telling. Nice little thing to do around Worcester.

I've been visiting the Worcester Art Museum (WAM) on an occasional basis for decades, despite not living in the vicinity. Particularly given the size of the surrounding community, It continues to display an impressively varied "encyclopedic" collection, although as the buildings that house it have developed over the years, parts of the collection, notably including American and contemporary art, are less than favorably displayed and the circuitous traffic pattern can be difficult to navigate--and yes, this was the case well before the current massive construction reportedly intended to integrate their receipt of the late lamented Higgins Armory Museum collection. The European painting galleries manage to present a chronological review of painting traditions from early Italian gold leaf panels to works from the early twentieth century. There are several works by better known artists, ranging from a fine panel by Piero di Cosimo to canvases by J.S. Sargent, and many important artistic traditions are well represented, even if not necessarily by their foremost practitioners, although some of the works are hung so high, with such indifferent lighting, that they can be difficult to see. There is a fine medieval French chapter house permanently reinstalled off the Renaissance courtyard whose own floor is particularly noteworthy for its fine Roman mosaic, a relic from an earlier time when the Museum engaged in archeological endeavors. WAM also offers multiple rooms devoted to arts of Asian cultures. There is a regular program of special exhibitions, which in recent years have ranged from an extensive loan display of Rembrandt etchings to an installation from their own storerooms of several fine European tapestries, although the later would have benefited from more detailed and thoughtful labels. The WAM also has a long history of art educational endeavors to which an entire building is dedicated. For a time some years ago they had a very pleasant restaurant with table service, sadly long gone. Free parking is located across the street, but although technically accessible, the museum can be a challenge for those with mobility issues.

Very clean museum with many interesting pieces of art. I highly recommend visiting if you are in the Worcester area.

Interesting place to visit in Worcester. Although it is not comparable to MFABoston, it still has many good collections.

Had a wonderful stay! Plenty of parking, easy check-in. The room was clean and spacious. The entire staff was friendly and helpful. The swim rides were fun and refreshing. The musical entertainment (we went during the Howl ween month) was awesome for all ages. The breakfast buffet The next morning was delicious and well worth the money. Overall, not a single complaint. My wife loved every minute of our stay.

I would've given this Great Wolf's Lodge a 5 star but unfortunately they were doing som renovations and some of the restaurants and waterpark activities were being worked on. The breakfast buffet was moved to the conference room but was still decent. Most of the waterpark was still open and available. I loved that the temperature of the water was perfect. We've been to a few where later in the season the water is very cold and not enjoyable for toddlers. We were on the 4th floor near the lobby and our room seemed to be remodeled. My friends room was near the mini golf area and it was very nice and also remodeled. Very spacious for her and her family. The staff was absolutely amazing. The characters were excellent and super friendly and I loved that there are plenty of activities for the kids to do. We will definitely be back and hopefully all of the construction will be done

Great Wolf Lodge in Fitchburg, MA is a very nice hotel. It's great fun for families, especially children. It has recently been renovated, and looks nice. Be prepared to be nickeled and dimed. As of writing this review, daily parking rates are $19 PER DAY, per car. There is a $100 incidental hold PER NIGHT. Don't act surprised when you get there. Most booking sites list that information. It's up to you to read. There are no longer hair dryers and microwaves in every room (this is not updated on any booking sites or the Great Wolf Lodge site). Each floor has community microwaves in the hall areas close to the elevators. I'm unsure of the reason, but it's a bit ridiculous. My guess is to make people purchase food there. They want that $$$. There are many food options on-site, but be prepared to pay out the nose for meals. The food is just, okay. Nothing special about it, but it's not the worst. The water parks are fun and usually over crowded, but passes for dry activities need to be purchased separately. The wolf passes are the best value in my experience. The front desk staff is very friendly. Jensen was a great help and his smile made the check-in process a breeze. The security staff seems rude and lazy, and housekeeping tends to fall behind but seem pretty thorough in the rooms. Too many people park at the entrance when it's clearly posted "Do Not Park". This causes cars to be backed up and unable to get through. Guests are ignorant and feel entitled so they don't care about rules. Also too much cigarette smoke and marijuana smoke is on the property outside the building. The "No smoking" policy does 't seem to be enforced as well as it should be. Again, lazy security.

Great resort for kids! My 2 year old enjoyed the indoor Waterpark for hours and hours and never got bored. Arcade and build a bear was fun as well. There are many paid things to do and eat but they also don't prevent you from bring in your own food to save on money. We will be back!

This place is great. My daughter loves it. We have been like 4 times we just took her again last weekend for her birthday and had a blast. The only complaint I have is that they offered us a room that overlooked the lobby because it was ready early, so they said we could check in early. The woman at the desk told us that the only thing was that with it being close to the lobby that it was noisy during the day but that it was quiet at night, I figured it wouldn't be a problem since we planned on being at the Waterpark during the day. We'll they were blasting music so loud until like 9:00 at night. We were exhausted at like 8 and wanted to go to bed and we couldn't cuz it was so loud. She did not tell me that they would be blasting music until 9 pm. She just said noisy during the day. That really sucked. So I do not recommend getting a room overlooking or close to the lobby if they offer it, cuz it was a nightmare!

Always welcoming with a greeting and a smile. Ethan helped with wolf passes and was very helpful explaining them. Jessica was super helpful checking us in and helping us navigate the trouble with the bank. Rebecca and Carlos both had very friendly service and very accommodating and attentive. Justin was very passionate with bringing my daughter bear. Emily was very helpful with my daughter arcade experience. Kimberly was helpful with the bubble wands and I was able to teach her a cool function the violet wolf does. Branden was helpful with my daughter arcade experience. Mia was helpful in getting my daughter not to fear the zip line. Daniel was very helpful in the kids rope course too and rescued the birthday badge

I took my 5 and 9 year old daughters here around HALLOWEEN and i can't say enough good things about this resort. From the slides to the pools to the amazing staff, the awsome rooms to the howlween party the amazing ladies put on to the evening story time, and arts and crafts i mean soooo much to great things to mention. Highly recommend the Great Wolf Lodge ♥️ thank you guys and girls, we will be back.

My ten year old son and I hiked the white cross trail in April. Great hike, our first larger mountain. We saw a lot of younger kids doing the hike as well-which was impressive. Park is well maintained. The hike up the mountain is challenging (for us city folk from Wellesley). So worth it at the top. I would strongly recommend extra water and a jacket if it it rains.

I’m absolutely a beginner but I had no trouble climbing up. Note: this isn’t your typical trail, it’s a hike! My husband and I started late in the afternoon, we started our hike around 4:30 and made it up just before Monte Rosa view. We would have climbed up to the summit but we were too late. We don’t want to came back down in the dark as we don’t have flashlights. We started at Old Toll Road (Jaffrey, NH side) then picked up the White Arrow Trail by the Halfway House site. From there, the challenge has started climbing up on the rocky trail! I wasn’t wearing proper hiking shoes so it was challenging. I’m 5 feet tall so my steps are shorter but I was able to make it halfway! I’m going back to climb all the way up to the summit and this time, I’m going to start earlier to enjoy the view! Bring water, snacks, and wear your hiking boots!! And oh a flashlight! You just don’t know when you will need it as it gets really dark up there. The video is from the halfway house view! It was beautiful and worth the climb. I highly recommend this hike!

A very well maintained park. Few trails to reach the summit. Ranging from 2 to 3:30 hours to I reach the summit

Did the White Dot up and White Cross down on two occasions in a week. Monadnock offers better bouldering then some 4k+ footers!! Definitely recommend this mountain, lots of cool cliffs and even some secret bunkers hidden on the mountain if you can find them..

Such a fun hike. Drove over two hours to do it and was worth it. Did the white dot trail to the summit. It is definitely challenging. Plan layers and take your time if you choose to do it

This state park lies in a beautiful wooded area in southern New Hampshire. We parked at Old Toll Road/Halfway House Trailhead, along Mountain Rd. (State Rd 124) near Jaffrey, NH. We hiked the dirt road about 1.2 miles to the White Arrow Trail where we began the 1600 ft. ascent to peak of Monadnock Mountain. White Arrow Trail was a moderately difficult one mile plus hike with a few steeper passages and some slick spots due to the water streaming down the path. The trail is well marked. The scenic beauty was excellent. There was rain this late April day, so the visibility was imperfect. But from the summit, we pretty certainly identified Wachusett Mountain some 30 miles southerly. There are portable toilets and trash cans at the parking lot. The trails are well maintained, and litter free. There was a $15 parking fee. I would highly recommend this experience.

Very steep and rocky trail, not for everyone. After rain stones might be slippery. Nice view on a top. Restrooms were clean, you can buy souvenirs at the store. Parking was $15-16 September 22

The $5 entrance fee is so much worth it. It's free after 5pm. Open 24/7 to the public. Bathrooms are closed at 5pm so plan accordingly. It seems like the trash policy is, carry-in carry-out. Very clean beach although small in size, people tend to be kind and share the space. Few grills are available to anyone. But I'll recommend bringing your own just in case. I had to learn the hard way. Overall great beach to relax and enjoy the beautiful mountain views and sunset.

What a gorgeous place! Very polite and helpful staff. The lift ride was about 12-15 minutes each way and it was gorgeous. We were very lucky weather wise and got beautiful pictures. I would love to come back and explore more, maybe do the hike down, however tough to do with the 3 year old

I went yesterday. My favorite NH state park. Shallow water. Floats allowed. I love floating on a hot day. They have a nice little store for food. You can also buy or rent a float. Kayak rentals and boards rentals available. Grass area with shade trees. Grills, picnic tables are also available. Beautiful new playground. Clean bathrooms and separate changing rooms. The water has a nice, non-mucky bottom and is very clear.

Mount Sunapee State Park is a public recreation area located in Newbury, New Hampshire. The Park Beach, also referred to as Newbury Beach, offers a variety of amenities, including a bathhouse, a store, canoe and kayak rentals, a playground, and a restricted boat launch. A seasonal campground is conveniently situated off New Hampshire Route 103, along Upper Winding Mountain Road, with access through Mount Sunapee Resort. Visitors will find that the beach is typically well-maintained, and public restrooms are available in the bathhouse, where guests can shower and change during the swimming season. The small store offers snacks, drinks, and floatation devices for purchase. While I have not personally rented a kayak or canoe, these options are readily accessible. There is a service fee for park entry during peak hours, but entry is free after 6 o’clock. Additionally, parking is complimentary once the entrance fee is paid during peak hours and after hours. The park features two separate parking lots, along with a modest playground suited for children up to age 12. There are also numerous picnic tables and BBQ grills available for use. It is possible to make reservations for specific areas of the park, making it an excellent location for gatherings such as family reunions. Overall, the park provides a delightful option for a summer outing in the local area.

Sunapee is such a beautiful place - the lake is small, but pretty clean and not too deep. There are some grassy spots in addition to the beach, and a few picnic tables if you get there early enough to grab one. There's also a great little shop with snacks/drinks, ice cream treats, and inflatable tubes you can buy and have blown up!

First time at Sunapee Mountain! I usually ski in Northern New Hampshire and Maine at the BIG ski resorts. This place did not disappoint. I had so much fun skiing here. Beautiful trails and perfect snow conditions. Fast lifts and very organized staff to get skiers up the mountain in an orderly fashion. My favorite trail was Ridge. Beautiful scenery here and it overlooks Lake Sunappe too. Good food and drinks here. Loved the Irish coffee! Im coming back here again soon!!

One of our favorite lakes. The water is clean. The bathrooms are handy. The view is gorgeous.

Serene, oddly peaceful among the cluster of people. Multiple species of butterflies inhabit the large space. Plenty of seating. Koi ponds, birds. I was even pleasantly surprised by the diverse species of insects and reptiles ! Makes for a great outing. The gift shop even offered live specimens with habitats, inexpensive feeders for your yard and unique jewelry. Staff was easily accessible and knowledgeable. I do wish you could have purchased food to get the butterflies to be more inclined to land on you, but that looked like it was reserved for birthday parties. They offer weddings in the butterfly space as well, how unique! The outdoor garden area was a bit under developed this time of year but the picnic area was a great idea! I am pleased to see the care they seem to take for conservation and not just the money making opportunity. I'll go back on a nicer weather day!

Wow, what a place. Blew us away. Wonderful butterfly garden that you could stay in forever, with cute little button quails running around and more butterfly's than you can imagine. Take a seat on one of the many benches and you're sure to get a colorful friend. Food was not open when we went there. Small little room before butterfly's with other insects and reptiles that was enjoyable. Price felt expensive going in, cheap coming out. Truly unique experience.

I spent my 29th birthday enjoying all of the butterflies and reptiles. The staff was super friendly and inviting and made the day even much better. The environment was clean and well curated with a wide verity of species per showcase. Walking through the butterfly garden was magical, and real fun to watch colors dance in every direction. There were plenty of winding paths, cozy benches, and even a charming gazebo to sit and take it all in. A gentle waterfall and soft piano music (straight out of Kingdom Hearts 0.0) added the perfect touch of ambiance.

Wow what a cool place! I haven’t been here in probably almost 20 years, still so magical. The room full of critters is very cool to see, all the different reptiles, amphibians, and bugs. But of course, the butterflies are the star. So many comfortable seating places to sit and observe them fluttering around. The button quails are SO stinking cute, they look like eggs with legs. Absolutely bring your children (as long as they are respectful and don’t hurt the critters) because this is a wonderful day adventure.

What an experience! There was a bug exhibit area outside the butterfly room that was cool but, was blown away with the amount of butterfly's flying around inside. Definitely beatiful! They also had little chubby birds running around on the ground so watch where you step.

😍😍😍😍🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩 I loved this place. I’ll smith there wasn’t much to see outside but the area where the butterflies are was so nice. So many beautiful butterflies and even little button quails running around. Of course you’re not supposed to touch them or the butterflies but you can take pictures. I loved butterflies so this was awesome to me. They also got a little gift shop

Much more than just the butterflies. Very beautiful, mellow and relaxing. I think we spent over a couple hours there. Took so many pictures.

Super cool store, that’s located just off the highway where you can stretch your legs. Outside is well kept up, and when you go inside it’s like going back in time. Something to check out all around the store. From the fudge, to the old school candies and games. Lotion, food, the Christmas section had some cool ornaments, you name it. There is something for everyone. It’s just a fun place.

Wonderful atmosphere and so many different types of products to browse and experience. Excellent selections from classic favorites to enticing and new! Perfect for any occasion shopping!

Adorable store with tons of gifts and tasty food products. Maple syrup galore! Dog friendly in all areas but the food section. Very friendly staff!

The place was nice. About the country store finally go there, it's where you can get maple syrup, fashion, or original needs from right around that state. Because the catalog brought me here from the mail in latest. It's the best place once you can travel a long way here.

A definite must see here in southern Vermont. Several thousand square feet of curated, Vermont specialties like cheddar and maple syrup, plus other food items, clothing, a kids section,a Christmas shop, a candy shop, etc. There’s also a window where you can order food and ice cream. Don’t forget to get a photo in the kissing bridge an antique covered bridge on site.

Probably one of my favorite stores in VT. They’ve got everything in there, from soaps and perfumes to puzzles or clothing. Lots of food also, to bring home or to eat there. Maple syrup milkshake is definitely a must have🍁

Great selection of goods. Novelty items Vermont specific products. I've stopped in three times. While some products do seem high, I googled one item thinking I might buy it later and found it to be the exact same price direct from the manufacturer so .. The staff was quite helpful and pointed me in the right direction answering all of my questions. Have always made off with plenty of snacks for the ride home and gifts to hand out once iI get there.

Absolutely stunning view of the Gorge with a pedestrian walkway for viewing along the roadside and convenient parking that's walking distance away. Took my breath away. Definitely stop and take a peak if you're in the area.

Had a nice view and is worth a quick stop if you’re passing through, but it’s definitely not something I’d go far out of the way for. Parking can be a bit tricky, and once you’ve taken in the view and a few photos, that’s about it. It’s good for a short visit, but not a must-see attraction.

Absolutely amazing. Such a beautiful trail and at the end is the rock formation with beautiful views. Wear comfortable hiking shoes because there is a hill to climb.

Fun climb down to the Gorge. Challenging climb back up. Beautiful photos from the top and the bottom!

Stopped here just to go see the water falls and enjoy some sun and it was great. There was quite a few people but overall a good place to visit!

This is an amazing place! The hike is a little steep on the way back but doable. The views are breathtaking! Don't miss this site if you're in Vermont!

I’m glad to find here. If you are coming to here just take your swimsuit, all you need!

A great ski in and ski out resort right at the base of Mount Snow. The rooms were in good condition. We had a two bedroom suite which was a one bedroom with a kitchenette and living room with a lofted bedroom connected to a standard 1 bedroom hotel room. They have a ski check right at the mountainside entrance. It is nice to have your skis valeted, although the line gets long in the morning and at the end of the day. The hot tubs were decent, although they were often very crowded. Same story on the sauna and steam room. The television and Internet were both flaky. This was a disappointment considering the price we paid for our stay. I was impressed with the car valet service. Our car was always ready in 10 minutes or less. You texted your claim check number, a very seamless experience. Overall, I would recommend staying here if you are looking for a ski in/ski out at Mount Snow

The location is very convenient and the staff is friendly and helpful. We liked the amenities like the hot tub, sauna, gym, and s’mores. But the rooms are dated and the WiFi is unreliable. Sometimes it’s just slow (like 11 Mbps), but it drops a lot throughout the day. One time when it stopped working, I called the front desk and they gave me an IT phone number to troubleshoot it myself! I was on the phone with them for 30 minutes and they did temporarily resolve the problem, which was just them resetting system, which is what I suggested, but they made me go through all these other steps like whitelisting my laptop even though it had been working previously. The rooms just seem like a shell of their former selves. Our room had a patio but the lock on the patio door didn’t work. The pull out sofa didn’t have any sheets on it (and no sheets in the closet). When I tried to call to get sheets, I pressed the housekeeping button on the room phone and got a message the line didn’t exist anymore. Front desk button just rang endlessly. I ended up calling the Grand Summit phone number and going through the menu options to talk to the front desk which worked. To their credit, once I talked to someone they brought the sheets quickly.

We were here for a wedding. The resort is nice and well located. The rooms were also spacious and clean. The two points of feedback are 1) parking situation is unacceptable. We were here for a wedding, and there were two other weddings going on so the lot was packed (and quite small). One of my our guests had a broken leg that made it hard for her to get around, and most of the staff was accommodating but it was still hard to figure out the parking situation every time we came and went. 2) the food situation could be significantly improved. There is only one pub that was not open during the day, and the front desk sent us to a deli for cold sandwiches and snacks so we had to leave to go find a restaurant elsewhere. There should be a restaurant or hot food readily available for order at this caliber of resort.

We stayed here during our Vermont fall road trip. The rooms are clean and well equipped, the resort itself is at a great location. East access to hiking trails and nearby restaurants. Staff is friendly with late check ins accepted.

This hotel has a good location, everything else misses the mark. The rooms are very dated with cable TV. The gym is disgusting. Basically everything needs a refresh. We went to the burger place at the main lodge, good but crazy expensive. Harrisons restaurant was mediocre with terrible service. The arcade, lame, just a few games. The pool is nice but also needs updating. The valet parking takes FOREVER. Once it took us 30 minutes and no one was even there. Another time they just told us to get it ourselves. They don't refresh the rooms unless you ask. We had so much garbage because we were there for 5 nights. If you don't ski or the conditions are bad, there is almost nothing else to do. They had a movie night, but we didn't know until we walked by it.

Had an excellent trip. Staff was friendly and attentive. Grounds are amazing.

They double charged me after I told them they were double charging me then I had to continue to call my banks and get statements and everything Because they told me they only charged me once Had to chase my own money that should’ve never been taken will never Stay here again and neither will my family
