Big fan of this bike path! Very scenic, evenly leveled for the most part route. They have spray painted orange circles on large cracks throughout the trail and lots of signage throughout the trail. About 20 miles there and back from start to end. Free parking at the northern starting part. One porta potty and one water fountain. Recommend!

Super great bicycle trail, had a blast, return trip with some nooks and crannies was 23 miles. Maybe a little narrow on a busy day in some some sections where people congregate. The pathway was cool with trees, covering, through some marsh land, beach and getting down to the ferry area. Be careful near the marsh areas poison ivy so be careful if taking a rest to where you lean your bike. Was a great day and highly recommended. Suggest parking County Rd (151) fallmoth was near a little park.

New Bedford Whaling Museum

Museum
Specialty Museums
The New Bedford Whaling Museum, located in the historic whaling capital of the world, offers a comprehensive look into the global whaling industry. The museum boasts a vast collection of artifacts including complete whale skeletons, preserved body parts, harpoons, and whalebone carvings. Visitors can explore a half-scale model of a whaling ship and learn about the city's significant role in driving the economy through whaling activities.
Great little museum with good amount of information about whaling history. We really like the large boat model in the museum. You will need at least 2hours to read through the information.
Ming C — Google review
This place not only has a great deal about the whaling industry in general, but also how it affected New Bedford’s growth as a town. Fascinating to see all of the ways the immigrants came from across the globe to the US/New Bedford due to whaling and also how they helped contribute to US history for hundreds of years. The museum strikes a balance between showing the usefulness of whaling and details about how things were done, and a realization that while at first the whaling was a helpful source for humans eventually it became too much due to superfluous desires of materials goods and led to the large population decline of the whales. There’s a lot to see, we spent a couple of hours and plan to go back as we couldn’t take it all in. Additionally there are some areas for smaller kids specifically which is nice for the whole family.
Erin L — Google review
Took my daughter here thanks to Bank of America Museum on Us program. It's small enough to spend an afternoon (unless you really dig into the facts and history). They got friendly staff members and volunteers. The 3D movie was also a pleasant experience.
Duy-Quang N — Google review
This museum is hard to find, but it is well worth it. It is incredibly interesting and full of all kinds of New England whaling memorabilia, including a replica of a whaling ship. There are skeletons of whales and just an incredible amount of interesting things in this museum. I must’ve spent at least an hour in just the scrimshaw room alone. I can’t recommend this Museum enough.
Diane J — Google review
An Incredible Cultural and Educational Experience! I brought my family to the New Bedford Whaling Museum to experience the Indigenous People’s culture, and the exhibit exceeded my expectations! It was beautifully curated and deeply informative. Parking can be a little tricky to find, so I recommend arriving early. Once inside, though, it’s absolutely worth it. The 3D sea lion movie was a highlight for all of us — so fun and engaging! There are so many exhibits about the whaling industry, marine life, and ocean habitats, and they really make you reflect on the history and importance of conservation. It even inspired me to plan a whale watching trip soon! If you love history, culture, and the sea, this museum is a must-visit. 🌊🐋
Cydonie B — Google review
On the one hand this museum was an amazing history of whaling and the local environment. But on the other hand, it bears witness to the wholesale slaughter and near extinction of whole species of whales, and so it's also very depressing. But I learned a lot and enjoyed my visit overall.
Daniel K — Google review
WOW - this is a fantastic museum. It captures the rich history of whaling in New Bedford and so much more. Ecosystems, multi-cultural contributions, half-scale whaling ship model, indigenous-colonist relations, etc, etc. Worth many visits. I will return.
Mark D — Google review
My husband and I toured the NB Whaling museum on Tuesday afternoon. The facility itself is beautiful and the exhibits are self explanatory. However, we had the priviiedge of a free tour of the museum beginning at 2 PM. The tour was conducted by an excellent docent who really knew everything there was to know about New Bedford in general but most especially about whales. His knowledge was extensive and presented in a very nice fashion, encouraging participants to ask questions on several occasions. The tour really made our day at this museum, so if you go to the museum, be sure that you ask at the front desk about free tours. You won't regret the experience.

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!
Katherine G — Google review
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.

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.

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!

One of the highlights was the impressive collection of Impressionist paintings, featuring works by Monet, Degas, and Renoir.

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.

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.

It holds a significant place in Boston's built environment, alongside landmarks like Faneuil Hall and the Freedom Trail.

Fenway is a iconic and historic ballpark. This was such an amazing experience. Saw the Red Sox vs. Houston Argos game (2-1 home win for Red Sox) and had a wonderful time. The atmosphere and energy from the crowd was amazing and the lighteffects after the win were super cool. Food and beverages were okay priced, not too expensive in my opinion. Great experience being there!

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!
Rita L — Google review
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.
Jay M — Google review
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!
Josh B — Google review
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.
Larry B — Google review
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.

Super knowledgeable, funny, and a great storyteller. She had our attentions captured from the beginning and kept it. We paid for the extra time for the interior and it was 100% worth it. We then did the ghost hunt which was the highlight of the night. It was my wife, myself and our 2 kids. The interior of the house was beautiful and stays true to the time period. The atmosphere was very exciting and fun while remaining mysterious and spooky when needed. Ashley was also the hunt guide and was VERY good at helping bring conversations going with spirits that wanted and maybe did not want to communicate. They provided EMF detectors, REM Pods, and these nifty bells that loved to be used by the house spirits. We were allowed to also bring in our own devices but oujii boards are not allowed. We would 100% do this again in the future and recommended it to ANYONE who is in the area or even driving through. We came from Texas to do it!

Me and my mom had a great time staying here at the Lizzie Borden house. Truly a fun way to experience history! Our tour guide (I forget her name, a shorter woman with purple-ish/red hair) was great and very informative. The mother and daughter who work there, Luisa and Tori, were amazing as well! So kind and personable. They made a wonderful breakfast and told us even more history about the house. Definitely creepy at night! If you’re a fan of dark history and spooky things I recommend, 10/10 😁 (Also the area is fun to walk. Beautiful neighborhoods and the Oak Grove cemetery is a 20 minute walk away and worth seeing!)

In my group of 3, we all had a wonderful experience. We had scheduled both the Oak Grove Cemetery tour and the Lizzie Borden House Tour with the Basement add on. We were very lucky in regards to having Nicole as a tour guide for both of the tours! We basically got private tours which allowed a more personal tour for each location. Nicole was very knowledgeable and incredibly personable. She was able to address ALL of our questions (Nicole knows lol). Nicole made our Fall River trip fun and educational! Would highly recommend.

This was an amazing experience. As a historical true crime nerd, a tour of the Lizzie Borden house has been a longtime goal of mine and it did not disappoint! Larry was a phenomenal, engaging, and knowledgeable story-teller. For me, respect for those involved in this event and understanding the facts of what transpired are most important and not so much the celebrity/gift shop type things that come with that celebrity. The staff at the Lizzie Borden home does a wonderful job of balancing this. It was incredibly eerie listening to the details of that day while in the same space. Will recommend to anyone with an interest in history, true crime, and of course, anything a bit chilling or spooky.

If I could rate higher than a 5 I would! We loved our guide Ashley, she was absolutely fantastic. Very knowledgeable, accommodating, and overall a very sweet person! The Morse room was clean and inviting upon arrival for our stay (Abby didn’t move an inch throughout the night, so that’s a plus lol). We highly recommend the house tour with the basement add on, the ghost hunt, and staying in the infamous Morse room! Thank you so much for a great experience!

We did the tour that included the basement. It was very informative and really interesting to be able to see first hand the layout of the house and hearing the story from room to room. Our guide was Megan. She was fantastic. Very knowledgeable and willing to answer all our questions. Very passionate about the house and the history. I highly recommend taking this tour!
Julie W — Google review
My best friend and I stopped here for a tour on our way into Newport and we honestly had the best time! it ended up being a huge highlight of our trip and might’ve actually been the best thing we did during our entire weekend! We were absolutely obsessed with our tour guide Megan who really set the scene for us, went above and beyond, answered all of our questions, and made it so interesting. The story is so unique and we were transported back in time thanks to her captivating storytelling! It’s clear she loves her job and in turn, we loved the tour. Honestly, the entire trip, we kept jokingly saying “I miss Megan.” Anyway- do yourself a favor and stop here for a tour!! If you’re at all into ghost or true crime, you are going to be obsessed! We didn’t stay here and honestly, I don’t know that we would because we were a little scared lol but MEGAN WAS THE BEST AND WE LOVE HER!!!

Our tour of the Lizzie Borden House was absolutely incredible, and that’s all thanks to Karen! From the moment we started, she captured everyone’s attention with her storytelling, humor, and deep knowledge of the history behind the house. She has such a natural way of making the past come alive mixing eerie details with fascinating facts that kept us hooked from start to finish. Karen struck the perfect balance between spooky and informative, giving us chills one minute and laughs the next. You can tell she truly loves what she does and takes pride in giving her guests an experience they’ll never forget. If you’re planning a visit, do yourself a favor and book a tour with Karen. She’s amazing and made the whole experience one of the highlights of our trip!

Canobie Lake Park

Amusement park
Water & Amusement Parks
Canobie Lake Park is a sprawling amusement park that offers a wide range of attractions suitable for the entire family. From thrilling roller coasters to exciting water rides and entertaining shows, there's something for everyone to enjoy. Visitors can also indulge in delicious food and partake in fun games throughout the park. While some guests experienced long lines, others found value in purchasing express passes to make the most of their visit.
What a surprise! Many in the family recalled visiting the park during middle and high school. After quite a few years, we decided to spend our day there with our two kids and other family members. We arrived early, so parking was not an issue. We were immediately impressed by how well maintained and organized the park is. We arrived at 10am and most rides opened at 10.30am. Plenty of options for all ages. Several small arcades along the way where you can enjoy some shade. The cannonball ride is a must. We also went for a peaceful boat ride on the lake... good way to get some rest while enjoying the view. Definitely a good day!! Temperature in the low 70s, we did not spend time in the water park... but looked very nice too. Sunscreen recommended.

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.
Brian F — Google review
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.

Gillette Stadium

Mentioned on 
19 lists 
Stadium
Fun & Games
Gillette Stadium, home to the NFL's New England Patriots and the MLS's New England Revolution, is a massive coastal-themed venue that also hosts concerts. The stadium underwent a $225 million renovation, featuring upgrades like the country's largest video board and a 218-foot tower offering panoramic views of the stadium and eastern Massachusetts. Visitors can easily access nearby attractions such as Boston and Providence from hotels like Hampton Inn & Suites Foxborough-Mansfield.
Gillette Stadium is pure football heaven. The moment you walk up, you feel the history and the heartbeat of New England fans. Inside, the energy is unmatched—every seat feels like part of the action, and when the crowd roars, you feel it in your chest. The Pats–Panthers game this week was electric, the kind of atmosphere that reminds you why this place is called the home of champions. Yes, traffic and parking are what you’d expect at a massive stadium, but once you’re in, it’s all worth it. Great views, clean facilities, and a fan experience that makes you proud to be here. Foxborough is where memories get made. Go Pats! 🏈

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...
Paul R — Google review
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!

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!

Minute Man National Historical Park

Mentioned on 
26 lists 
Historical place
Sights & Landmarks
Minute Man National Historical Park, located along Route 2A near Concord Center, is a significant site in American history. It encompasses the route taken by the Redcoats during the Revolutionary War and features historical landmarks such as Old North Bridge and The Wayside. Visitors can explore the area where the first battle of the war took place and learn about Paul Revere's ride through reenactments on Patriots Day.
May is the perfect time to visit this place, when you will see the best of the spring in New England; and also get educated with American history along the way. Starting from the visitor center, you will be able to watch a video about the whole story; then get a map which tells you everywhere you can go and every parking lot it has. Aiming for a good spring-time hike, I enjoyed the farmland and North Bridge the most, but there are more things to see, such as the Orchard House (which offers you a nice guided tour with $15).
Wanyu H — Google review
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.
Natalie K — Google review
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.

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.

The Breakers

Historical place museum
Museums
The Breakers is a grand summer home built by Cornelius Vanderbilt and his wife during the Gilded Age in Newport, Rhode Island. Designed by architect Richard Morris Hunt, this 70-room 'cottage' served as a showpiece for the Vanderbilts. The mansion boasts ornate artwork, gardens, and guided tours that showcase its overwhelming grandeur and fine decorative details. As a National Historic monument, it offers visitors an audio guide to explore its history and daily operations.
The Breakers is a jaw-dropping blend of Gilded Age opulence and ocean-spray drama, where every room feels like a scene change in a grand opera. The craftsmanship—marble, gilding, carved wood, and soaring ceilings—is so meticulous you find new details each time you look. The self-guided audio tour is outstanding: clear, engaging, and rich with stories that bring the Vanderbilt world to life. Strolling the grounds with the Atlantic as a backdrop adds a cinematic finish that photos never quite capture. If you visit Newport, this is the one landmark that absolutely earns the time, the ticket, and the superlatives.

The Breakers – A Dream for Gilded Age Fans For anyone who loves the Gilded Age or is fascinated by that era’s elegance and grandeur, The Breakers is an absolute must-see. The moment you walk through the gates, you feel like you’ve stepped straight into another world — one filled with history, beauty, and unapologetic luxury. Everything here is so well-organized: from the thoughtful visitor flow to the detailed explanations and perfectly preserved interiors. The house itself is simply magnificent — every room tells a story. The grand staircase takes your breath away, the ocean-view terrace is pure magic, and the bedrooms are both opulent and full of charm. And oh, the kitchen! It’s enormous, full of fascinating details, and somehow feels alive, as if it’s still ready to host a grand dinner for the Vanderbilt family. You can spend hours here, admiring the craftsmanship, imagining the parties, and feeling the spirit of the age. The views of the Atlantic are spectacular, and the whole place carries this wonderful mix of nostalgia and splendor. If you’re even a little curious about the Gilded Age, make sure to plan a visit — it’s an unforgettable experience that truly brings history to life.

Gorgeous mansion for visiting! We bought the tickets online before the visit, arrived late but they allowed us to get in anyway. Remember to download the app per the instructions posted there and bring your own headphones/earbuds so that you can listen to the descriptions and interesting stories as you step into each room. I was mesmerized by the decorative details. The place is perfect for visiting in the fall when the weather is cooler. You could sit in the back yard enjoying the vast sky and sea and grass field. It was a delightful experience!

Be sure you bring your headphones and get the Newport Mansions app so you can listen to the tour while you visit. This mansion is an awesome place to visit and learn some of the history of some of the Rockefeller family during the gilded age. The craftsmanship is spectacular and a bit over the top, but it really is an amazing place to witness. Highly recommend a visit!! As an added note, we visited during a day in port off the cruise ship. It's definitely an easy self guided excursion you can do, just a couple miles of the port. We saved a lot of money, saw multiple properties, did the tour on our own timeframe. It's an easy Uber ride or a nice walk to the property from the ship!

Very nice experience after watching the TV series Gilded Age. This maison should be the stage for the spring social season. The decoration is competitive to the royal palace even the size of building is much smaller. The architect is for sure trained in Beaux-arts as a general requirement at that period. The ceilings of many rooms are worth to study: they are clean, simple. The Roman Empire style decoration is perfectly adapted and applied here. One beautiful case for architecture students to learn the 20 century house design with European style.

Went on a Sunday at 9am, walked from the port from my cruise, really enjoyed the walk. The Breakers was beautiful in October. Nice cool breeze from the ocean outside. The Breakers showed a lot of rooms on display. The gift shop had a little bit for everyone with decent prices as well. Took me about two hours by myself to walk through the self guided audio tour, visit the shop, and walk around outside. I did not try the cafe. There was one restroom by the front ticketing area.

When you search for things to do in Newport, this is one of the things that always pops up. We are very glad that we were able to visit the Breakers, along with two other properties.

Nestled in 40 acres of woodlands, Roger Williams Park Zoo is one of the oldest zoos in the country and a model for modern zoo design. The kid-friendly environment offers an opportunity to see over 100 species from around the world, including snow leopards, giraffes, elephants, zebras, red pandas, and more. Visitors can enjoy a petting zoo, wetlands trail, zipline adventure, and even take a ride on a vintage carousel.
Enjoy going here for the annual Jack-o-lantern Spectacular. The tickets for Spectacular are only available online. We visited during the dinosaur event they were having over the summer as well in addition to the zoo. Love this zoo and the variety of animals. The wild cats and penguins are some of my favorites.

Our recent trip to the Roger Williams Park Zoo was a perfect outing for our family, earning it a solid four out of five stars. My wife and I took our five-year-old daughter, and it was a joy to watch her excitement as we explored. The zoo is incredibly well-suited for families with young children and provides a day full of fun and discovery. ​For a five-year-old, the highlight was undoubtedly the farmyard area. She absolutely loved brushing the friendly goats and getting to see them up close. It was a wonderful hands-on experience that made her feel connected to the animals. The train ride was another big hit, giving us a playful way to see parts of the zoo while taking a short break from walking. We were also thrilled to see the giraffes towering over us and the elephants in their indoor enclosure. Seeing the golden lion tamarins and the beautiful blue hyacinth macaws in their habitats was also very special. The clear map at the entrance was a huge help, allowing us to easily navigate with our little one and ensure we saw all the animals on her list. ​The zoo's focus on conservation is a huge plus, and we felt great about supporting their mission. ​In short, Roger Williams Park Zoo is a fantastic destination for a family outing. It’s a place that creates lasting memories, and we highly recommend it. We can’t wait to go back again soon.

Highly recommended!! Truly incredible experience at the Pumpkin Spectacular! We booked tickets for 8 pm. Arrived with a fast moving line, which had no wait. Check in was a breeze and for a Saturday night it was packed but didn’t feel like so as the trails are wide enough to accommodate a crowd. The pumpkins are amazing to look at, especially the artist carved ones. One of the coolest and most do October bucket list items in New England! We parked above the zoo which was a 10 minute walk to the entrance as it was free. The lines to park were long and do create a wait. Parking is free or you can pay $15 for premium parking which the lot was quite empty for. Bathrooms are available and food trucks of fried dough, adult beverages, snacks etc. Definitely an awesome date night or a fun night out with the family

Came here for the Jack o Lantern walk, but I’ve been to the zoo proper before, albeit many years ago. Very cool attraction. It’s about a mile walk, takes about an hour to get through. Hundreds, if not thousands of pumpkins throughout. Some are very ornate. There’s some trivia related to the art on some of the pumpkins throughout as well. Great fun for all ages. This is the fourth year we’ve been and plan on returning for many years to come!

Quick trip to the zoo when we traveled through Rhode Island. Morning was a great time to go. Animals were out and it felt we had the park to ourselves with the little traffic that was there. Only downside is that they weren't fully owned but understandable since there wasn't a lot of people. We went on a Thursday morning.

We came for the Jack o lantern Spectacular and it was a great experience! So fun and beautiful art! We went on a busy Saturday night for the 9PM slot. There is free parking on the side streets or in the zoo parking lots. You can pay $15 for “vip parking” right in front of the event entrance. We parked at the back of the zoo lot and walked a little. It took us 15 min to get to the lot to park due to traffic. There are people directing you where to park in the lot. Once you’re inside, you can stroll as fast or slow as you want. We spent an hour inside. The trivia questions are fun. The answers are at the end of the path.

My wife and I went for the jack-o-lantern spectacular. This is an annual event held at the zoo in the evening. As always, it was absolutely amazing and outstanding. We both highly recommend it to anyone who wants to bring their children and or just themselves to see pumpkins car in the most artistic and fantastic way possible. There are over 5,000 pumpkins available to see, many of which are carved to be like Museum pieces of Art.

Montauk Point Lighthouse Museum

Mentioned on

Historical place museum
Sights & Landmarks
Nestled at the easternmost tip of Long Island, the Montauk Point Lighthouse Museum is a must-visit destination for anyone exploring Montauk, NY. This historic lighthouse, commissioned by George Washington in 1796, stands as a testament to maritime history and offers breathtaking views of the Atlantic Ocean. Visitors can ascend 137 iron steps to reach the top and soak in panoramic vistas that stretch towards Block Island.
I had an amazing time visiting the Montauk Lighthouse. The historical significance of the site is truly impressive, and it’s great to see how well it’s been preserved. The staff were incredibly informative and attentive, answering any questions I had about the lighthouse and its history. Climbing to the top took about 10 minutes — a fun little workout with a rewarding view at the end! While I was a bit disappointed that you can’t go out onto the balcony (you can only poke your head out), it didn’t take away from the overall experience. All in all, a great visit. I’m definitely looking forward to returning for more adventures in the future!

MONTAUK *Montauk: A Scenic Stop on Long Island, New York* Montauk, located at the easternmost tip of Long Island, New York, is a charming small town with a historic lighthouse. We visited Montauk by train, arriving at a simple platform-style station. Taxis are readily available outside the station, and we opted to take one to the lighthouse point. The taxi driver was friendly and reliable, dropping us off at the lighthouse and agreeing to return at 2 pm to take us back to the station. The lighthouse point itself is picturesque but can be explored within 30 minutes. Unfortunately, there are no restaurants or refreshment options nearby, so we spent the remaining time wandering around. As promised, our taxi driver returned on time and took us back to the train station. On the way, we grabbed some snacks since there are no amenities near the station. Given the limited options, it's advisable for tourists to have their own transportation. However, if that's not possible, taking a taxi from the station is a good alternative. *Tips for Visitors* - Have your own transportation for flexibility. - If taking a taxi, confirm the pickup time and fare beforehand. - Bring snacks and refreshments, as options are limited in Montauk. Overall, Montauk's scenic beauty and historic lighthouse make it a worthwhile visit, but plan accordingly to make the most of your trip.

It’s very cool but also very small. They also have the original document from George Washington chartering the lighthouse as president in 1790, which is neat. Definitely worth going up in the lighthouse once to see the views, and then hike down to the beach for some beautiful scenery.

Tips for Visitors: 1. Arrive Early: To avoid long wait times, try to arrive early in the day, especially on weekends. 2. Wear Comfortable Shoes: Since the climb involves steep and narrow steps, comfortable footwear is essential. 3. Check the Weather: Clear days offer the best views, so keep an eye on the weather forecast before your visit. 4. Bring Water: Stay hydrated, especially if you’re planning to hike the surrounding areas. 5. Time Your Visit: Consider visiting the museum first to learn about the lighthouse before climbing to the top. The Montauk Lighthouse is truly a gem along the New York coastline. The museum offers fascinating insights into the history of the lighthouse and its role in maritime navigation. The exhibits are well-curated, showcasing artifacts and stories that bring the area's rich maritime heritage to life. It's important to note that there is no line to enter the lighthouse museum itself. However, visitors should be prepared for a long queue, with possible wait times of up to an hour to reach the top. There is only one staircase for both ascending and descending, consisting of about 137 steep, narrow, and twisting steps, which limits the number of people allowed at a time. Despite this, the experience is definitely worth it. Climbing to the top provides breathtaking panoramic views of the Atlantic Ocean and the surrounding landscape. Overall, a visit to Montauk Lighthouse is a perfect blend of history, education, and natural beauty. Highly recommended for anyone visiting the area!

A must visit for anyone living, or visiting N.Y. I make it out there at least twice a year. I use to go more often when I lived on Long Island. It's so beautiful out there. I've also walked up to the top of the lighthouse, which wasn't easy, but worth it. Pack lunch, or stop at one of the restaurants on your way through. Its a nice day trip.

I was a surreal experience. We went there on a weekend. You should be there by early afternoon to have better experience. There are picnic spots near the light house too. There was line of 40-50 minutes to see the top of the functioning lighthouse.

I've been wanting to come here for atleast two year and finally made the trip here. The parking fee its $8 and if you want to visit the museum and lighthouse is $15. The museum has plenty of cool history not just of the lighthouse but of the area in generalm here you'll find cool artifacts and items related to the area. The lighthouse its self its bigger than it looks in pictures. I recommend checking out the lighthouse 1st them the museum due to a line tends to build up.restrooms are located at the entrance begind the giftshop/ticket booth. This is because only a certain amount of people are allowed at the time. Also small children and babies not allowed so keep that in mind. Its 137 steps from top to bottom. Once you reach the top the views are amazing. There's a guide at the bottom and top who will answer any questions you may have. They will also provide the instructions on how to walk up down and down the steps. Once at the top they also give you the opportunity to see the light it self which is pretty cool. As you walk the grounds you take the the stunning views. They have benches to sit and relax and take in the gorgeous ocean views. Or you can relax on the grass or walk down by the water. They also have a section behind the museum & lighthouse about the marine life in the area. Overall it was a very unique awesome experience. Definitely addex to your bucket list.

Mystic Aquarium

Non-profit organization
Mystic Aquarium is a popular interactive aquarium featuring a variety of marine life, including beluga whales, African penguins, sea lions, and sharks. The aquarium offers unique exhibits such as Steller sea lions and beluga whales that are rarely seen in other parts of the country. Visitors can also explore the Olde Mistick Village in Stonington for dining, shopping, and entertainment options.
It was a fantastic experience. It's a bit pricey, but when you consider the amount of animals they take care of, you get it. It was $82 just for my child and I to get in, to give you a perspective. I loved the Beluga whales, the seal show was adorable and the indoor gallery area was a fun experience. The keepers located throughout were very informative and gladly answered any and all questions. I highly recommend this aquarium.
Naughty L — Google review
Mystic Aquarium is an excellent spot for children, especially between the ages of 4 and early teens. The exhibits are engaging, and the attractions they do have are very well done. The sea lion show is free, fun, and worth planning around—just make sure to check the schedule ahead of time. Since it’s outdoors, you’ll also want to be mindful of the weather. While I was a little disappointed with the overall size of the aquarium, what’s here is high quality. Be prepared though—most extras cost money, so definitely bring your wallet. With more funding and awareness, this place has the potential to grow into an even larger attraction. Overall, it’s still a great family experience and well worth a visit.
Thomas E — Google review
Fantastic experience at the Mystic Aquarium. It is a lot smaller than I expected and the majority of the exhibitions are outdoors so thankfully, we choose the perfect sunny day to visit. Our highlights were seeing the Beluga whales swimming about outside and seeing the sea turtle inside. We also loved that they had a Del's Lemonade stand by the gift shop. A lovely little treat on our way out. Definitely a fantastic experience with the family. Now for my standard comments. Parking is plentiful out front and free. Location is well kept and clean. Very comfortable walking outside assuming the weather is good. Indoor exhibits never got too crazy, at least during the time that we were there.
Christine L — Google review
Where do I begin, this Aquarium is the best I've been to. The staff are all so friendly, and care so much about each and every animal in the facility. They have staff stationed at the enclosures in case you have any questions on a particular animal or exhibit, and they are so knowlegable. The Beluga whales are so cool, and almost seem like they interact with anyone who's at the glass and seeing everything they do for them is a bonus! The Main gallery has so many different tanks with all kinds of aquatic life and detailed plaques on each one, with any information you might want to know about a specific species. They even have not one.. but two touch tanks! This Aquarium is the perfect spot for a family day trip, the staff at the touch tanks were so friendly making sure any kid that wanted to participate was allowed the opportunity to do so and the layout was so cool to walk through. The pricing is extremely fair for what you get to do and see. The photo you they take when you enter of you and your family is 100% worth the 35 dollars to have it as a memento. Parking is a breeze and highway access is easy as well. I would give this aquarium 6 stars if I could, and my family and myself cannot wait to go back!

I had the opportunity to visit this famous aquarium last Friday, and the pictures do not do it justice….it was an incredible experience! I saw the Beluga whales, along with so many fish and other animals, including a turtle. I learned lots about the Amazon rainforest, too. I also highly recommend going to the sea lion show; it was awesome! The show is included with your admission, so make sure you check the times so you don’t miss out. I recommend heading over to the show early so you get good seats. Not to mention that all of the staff were so friendly, helpful, and knowledgeable. You can tell how much they love their job, and they really go above and beyond to make sure everyone has a great experience! This aquarium is the best one I have been to by far and definitely a must do if you’re in the area! If only I could give it ten stars…..

Sad to say we feel like it wasn't what we were expecting.The tour of the whole place took us under an hour.And it was fifty one dollars per person. We do understand it's a research facility. But I think they should update their exhibits. And maybe offer a few more attractions without the extra cost. I had my first virtual reality experience, it was pretty cool. But it was at a $9 extra fee per person. The beluga whales are cool, and so are the african penguins.And the sea lion seals, but I feel like those are the only three real attractions that they had.

This aquarium is so nice, not too big to navigate and the staff is really super friendly. I only gave 4 stars because we went during the start of the NorEaster last weekend and it was not enjoyable for my kids, unfortunately. I must add that the food at their cafe was very good - was impressed with the quality, actually. Better weather def would have made for a better experience, but a nice place to go with the fam for sure!

Mystic Seaport Museum

Museum
Art museum
Mystic Seaport Museum is a reimagined waterfront settlement that offers a glimpse into America's maritime past. With over 60 historic structures and a recreated 19th-century village, visitors can step back in time and experience life in a shipping town from over a century ago. The museum features over a dozen ships from the 19th and 20th centuries, some of which can be boarded and explored.
We (2 adults) visited on a very hot day at the beginning of the summer. I absolutely loved the feel of walking around a replica of a 19th-century fishing village. There were so many storefronts to check out and the ships were beautiful, too. This is a gem of a place and we are fortunate to have it continuing to operate after nearly a century. There was an incredible exhibit in the gallery while we were there. I truly appreciated becoming more informed about the experience of African-Americans from a 21st-century perspective. It was hot enough that day that we unfortunately didn't get to explore as much as I wanted. This is definitely a place I would love to return to, perhaps on a fall weekend.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ A must-stop while visiting Mystic! I was completely surprised by how good this experience was. The museum is very kid-friendly and perfect for families. Be sure to wear comfortable shoes — it’s definitely a minimum 3-hour tour with so much to see and do. I highly recommend staying with the guides, as they make the history come alive and really enhance the experience. An unforgettable stop that I’ll be telling others about!

From the moment we walked inside to purchase our tickets to the time we left, Mystic Seaport Museum didn’t disappoint. The staff were very friendly! We toured most of what was offered. I think our favorite was the shipyard. It was incredibly interesting watching active restoration projects. The amount to view and experience was so much more than we realized. This was a wonderful stop for us on our New England road trip.

With something for everyone, Mystic Seaport Museum is a must-do vacation stop. One can see skill craftspersons in the process of restoring historic sea craft or recreating life in a seaside town in the early 1800s. Great for the whole family. Kids will especially love going on board the last wooden whaling ship the children's museum. Not into ships, history, or old architecture? Then visit in the spring and summer and see some of the most beautiful floral arrangements Ive seen in a long time.

We had an incredible day with family at Mystic Seaport Museum and honestly did almost everything there was to do. The whole place is such a vibe, full of history, craftsmanship, and surprises around every corner. One of the highlights was catching the fireboat with its hoses on full blast—something we learned doesn’t happen very often. We watched the blacksmith at work, explored the cooperage, wandered through the historic ships, and soaked in the magic of this living museum by the water. We spent way more time there than planned and still didn’t see it all. Mystic Seaport is truly one of those places that keeps you discovering more at every turn.

Really nice museum with outdoor and indoor exhibits. We paid $44/adult and $22/youth. We had an amazing time. The museum was nice, not too crowded and with nice live explanations when needed. Learning was also pleasant. Easy with kids. The outdoor area was pet friendly except inside the boats.

This was such a fun experience! perfect for all ages and an ideal way to spend a cozy fall evening. The ambiance felt straight out of a PG-13 Halloween movie from the '90s, full of nostalgia and charm. It had that warm, festive energy of a small-town holiday market, bringing a real sense of community. Will visit again!

Old Sturbridge Village is a living history museum located in Sturbridge, Massachusetts. It offers a re-creation of an 1830s settlement with costumed staff, rides, and activities for family entertainment. The village meticulously recreates rural New England life from the 1830s, complete with historic buildings, working farms, and costumed interpreters.
My husband and I throughly enjoyed our visit on a beautiful fall day. It was 1/2 price for seniors was an unexpected bonus. We arrived earlier afternoon and it was a leisurely walk through most of the village. This is just a sample of a few places. Over 40 buildings.

Realistic recreation of a early century village. Some of the time period tools and equipment were really interesting and all powered by animal or human. The wood lathe with the foot treadle and leather belt blew me away, although I did not get to see it in action as the representative was on break. The staff were all engaging and knowledgeable on their respective cradlfts. Definitely recommend stopping by.
Chris S — Google review
Old Sturbridge Village is a true treasure for anyone who loves stepping back in time. This living history museum is beautifully done — from the authentic buildings to the period clothing, everything is designed to immerse you in the early 19th century. Most of the staff were friendly, welcoming, and incredibly knowledgeable. They were eager to share stories and fun facts about daily life in the 1830s, which made the experience feel alive and personal. The only reason I wouldn’t give it a full five stars is that a few of the “characters” didn’t seem all that enthusiastic about their roles. It wasn’t enough to ruin the experience, but it did make certain areas feel less engaging than others. Still, wandering through this recreated New England village — where mills once turned, blacksmiths shaped iron, and communities thrived — was an unforgettable experience. It’s easy to imagine what life might have been like here nearly two centuries ago. If you love history, this is an absolute must-visit, and I’d highly recommend setting aside plenty of time to explore every corner.

Historic village with restored buildings and staff that represent life in New England in the 1830s. Very educational, beautiful grounds. Fun way to step back in time and enjoy the day. Shops sell items made in the pottery shop and the tin shop. The pottery studio and printshop were our favorites, because of the interaction with staff. Everyone we met was knowledgeable and friendly.

This post is specifically regarding the phantoms by firelight event during Halloween season after the museum is officially closed. It was by far my husband and my favorite part of visiting (primarily Newport, RI). The scenery is beautiful and seeing the history reflected in clothes, architecture, tools and crafts is just so neat. The themes of the event were on the darker side of things, which is expected for Halloween, but it was appropriate for the time periods, not grotesque and no jump scares. Tastefully done. The event started at 4:30 and the parking attendants were not set up until maybe 4:45pm. They should really have people there assessing the parking well before the event because there were tons of spots randomly open but by that time group mentality sets in and you tend to follow the car in front of you. We had intended to eat at the event but the lines were super long. Not all good stands have the same items so we walked to the side stands and we're disappointed to see you can only get basic theme park food that wasn't gluten free friendly. I was willing to just eat some chips or popcorn but my husband didn't want to spend half an hour waiting for an expensive sandwich that wasn't going to even fill him up. More food tents and options would be nice. We ended up leaving around 6pm to get food which was a bummer.

Fabulous experience. You SEE how various tools and daily chores get accomplished. And start understanding how interconnected each person, and their particular trade / skill set is beneficial and supports the community. A Living Museum. Much better than just walking through a display without seeing the tools and trades in action.

A lot of fun - I’ve been to both this one and the one in Williamsburg, Virginia. My only complaint about this one is the middle area that features coffee, ice cream, and food, as well as check out areas. It does not have enough seating. My husband and I nearly had to in the floor today to eat our food. They have very small tables and not enough chairs. Also understaffed during peak season so getting food and navigating the area because of the resulting long lines is a pain. Checkout lines also take forever to get through on weekends and during peak season (October-December). The one in Williamsburg featured a lot more local artists, and I would love to see that reflected or acknowledged here. Positive things, I like the toy area a lot, the set up is nice. Love the Bavarian village (but would love if we could stop spreading the German pickle myth) and the snow room. I particularly like being able to buy German imported goods, like the Sauerbraten spice packets, which is what we make for Christmas every year.

The Mark Twain House & Museum, a National Historic Landmark located in Hartford, Connecticut, is a must-visit for literature enthusiasts and history buffs alike. This stunning Victorian home was the residence of renowned author Samuel Clemens and his family from 1874 to 1891. It’s here that Twain crafted some of his most iconic characters while calling it the 'loveliest home that ever was.'
Wonderful tour in Mark Twain house. We got the Living History Tour (a little bit more expensive). The tour guy dressed as a Twain’s friend and gave detail history regarding Mark Twain and friends/family dynamics throughout the time. The house/furniture are in great condition. No photography inside the house. It’s a long tour involving going up and downstairs. They are very thoughtful and put out some chairs throughout the house for those who need it. I recommend it when you visit Hartford CT. It’s a good place to learn more about the famous author.

One of the best historical tours I've ever been on (and I've been on a lot)! So much rich history and too many stories to tell in just a 1-hour tour. The property is well kept, and the house is restored to as much genuine detail as could be. Plenty of parking, folding chairs in each room for those who cannot stand for long periods of time, and the staff are very friendly and knowledgeable. Tour tickets are a bit pricey but definitely worth it! No photography allowed inside the house, so get ready to take mental snapshots....you won't want to forget!

The Mark Twain House & Museum has a sprawling campus with different exhibits and tours. Plus, if you're a local, they have plenty of ways to visit for free. We did the General House Tour. Beth was our tour guide, and she was fantastic! A five-star guide, and I would highly recommend you request her if you go. She was knowledgeable, patient, and clearly passionate about Mark Twain's life, which brought everything to life on the tour. I particularly enjoyed how she covered the real story of who he was: the good, bad, and ugly. She was very kind and patient with our 3-year-old niece who was on the tour, and helped get her involved. The house is pretty cool (I wouldn't recommend for young kids though... or adults with severe ADD). I'm not a big fan of Mark Twain, on account of him being negative after his visit to the great state of Utah, but coming to this museum helped me realize he was kind of just a jerk to and about everyone. The gift store might be the real highlight. There are some great gems here (I featured some favorites). A vibe I got from some of the employees was they were super passionate about history and Mark Twain's life, but having visitors to the museum was a necessary evil. That was from some, but not all, which is a fun irony since Mark Twain probably felt and acted the same way. I chalked it up as creating an immersive experience. If you like Mark Twain, history, or architecture, definitely plan your visit.

Immaculatly restored historic home where Mark Twain and his family resided for 17 years. Parking, the museum, gift shop, cafe and grounds are all free to check out. There are only guided tours of the inside and there are no photos or videos allowed of the inside. We purchased tickets ahead on line. The regular tour lasts about 1 hour. The home is absolutely gorgeous and the history fascinating. You do not need to be a literary genius or even a fan of the author to appreciate the history of this home and the family.

Absolutely AMAZING. Alex. Our tour tour guide, was informative and humorous. If you're a Mark Twain fan, it's truly a necessary stop, because it's the only home that Twain truly thought of as his. He said about the house, "To us, our house was not unsentient matter—it had a heart, and a soul, and eyes to see us with; and approvals and solicitudes and deep sympathies; it was of us, and we were in its confidence, and lived in its grace and in the peace of its benediction." It was so cool to see where he worked, played with his kids, spent time entertaining, and lived for so many years. Note for those who have mobility issues: there are a lot of steps to climb. If you're unable to climb stairs they will only be able to accommodate you on the first floor and then you'll have to exit the tour.

Olivia the tour guide portrayed herself as “Susy Clemens” one of Mark Twains daughters, she did an excellent job, i felt that i was in the presence of Susy herself. She knew a lot of the history and took us back in time.. If anyone is planing to visit the museum, it’s worth spending the little extra fee to have the experience, i highly recommend Olivia as the tour guide, you will learn a lot and she will make you laugh.. The house is beautiful, has so much details and is well maintained.. Simply a great experience!

The Vermont Country Store Weston

Mentioned on 
+13 other lists 
General store
Shopping
The Vermont Country Store in Weston is a sprawling historic building filled with an array of products, from maple syrup and candy to gifts, souvenirs, toys, treats, jams, and clothing. The store's charming decor and displays add to its appeal. Visitors can also enjoy apple cider and hot cocoa inside the store or indulge in maple creemees just outside the entrance.
You have GOT to stop by this store. And, yes, you can enter through the front door (the old-fashioned way in). What doesn't this store have! Food, drink, clothes, candy, maple products, toys, hard to find items, etc. We spent hours in here taking it all in. The staff are pleasant and very helpful. We left with a multitude of various items, but you simply must leave with their common crackers (regular or cheddar cheese), equally delicious. We stopped by Mildred's Dairy Bar next door to order a creemee. Our first, and it was unbelievably spectacular! They also offer sandwiches, hot dogs, milkshakes, etc.

I was literally a kid in a candy store. From Jersey, the weekday drive was worth the trip. Snow covered mountains, rushing, cascading water. Old Vermont towns and picturesque farm country of the Green Mountains. We needed a reason to go the Vermont Country Store in Weston, something we saw in the catalog. A straight shot to Albany and across the Hudson into the mountains with a little help from Maps. Back and forth was a little over 400 miles.The store is in an old cow barn. People were friendly and personable, but like all stores these days there's more in the catalog than there is in the store. Stores are now showcases. Things we saw were pricey, but of good quality like clothing, kitchenware, decorations, toys and candy. There's lots to see as there are displays of vintage house wares, such as a glass case filled with quirky old toasters. Local towns have nice local eateries with great atmosphere and are mostly affordable. Go!

Couldn’t wait to visit. My Mom (she passed last October) always ordered from the catalog. I grew up with a lot of the items. This was a great visit. A trip down memory lane for both me and my husband. Everyone was helpful with our questions about products and finding a couple items for us. No problems with parking. They are a pet friendly place.

Awesome! Everything you’re looking for if you want to gift shop and feel like you’re in Vermont. So charming, and feels like you’re taking a walk back in time. They have so many great things, we went twice! Loved Mildred’s snack bar as well. Old and young had a great time! Must see if you visit Vermont.

So much fun to browse this store in person! The store is huge with a vast array of goods including a discount area upstairs. They also have clean bathrooms, some great fresh food and ice cream, friendly staff and perfect fall photo opps. Don’t miss a visit if you’re in Vermont!

Lake Compounce Amusement & Water Park

Temporarily Closed
Theme park
Water & Amusement Parks
Family-friendly theme park featuring roller coasters & other rides, plus a water park.
It had been nearly 20 years since my last visit to Lake Compounce, and this trip brought back all the memories with a modern twist. It was my husband TJ’s first time, and we had a blast walking around, hopping on rides, and grabbing cute photo ops throughout the park. The nostalgia is real—but they've done an incredible job updating the space while keeping its charm. The crowd was super manageable the day we went (pro tip: check the event calendar if you want a more chill experience). We even got to visit with our family while there, which made it extra special. We have season passes now and can’t wait to go back for more fun! Whether you’re bringing the kids, reliving childhood memories, or just looking for a classic amusement park day with lots of heart—Lake Compounce delivers.
Marisa B — Google review
This is a good spot to spend a day in the summer - the park is a very manageable size to walk around and they have a handful of good attractions. Boulder dash is by far the most impressive coaster! If you have a season pass you bought online that you need to redeem for a physical card, or if you want to redeem a bring a buddy ticket, be prepared to wait 30-60 minutes at guest services. The line moved incredibly slow and was by far the longest line we waited in all day. The other big negative was what a huge rip off the dole whip is at the Main Gate Creamery - the “Large cup” is $9, we received the smallest cups of dole whip plopped into a tiny saucer. The employee working there also seemed like he had better things to do than serve 2 cups of dole whip. The employees at the parking area, guest services, and the rides, were all wonderful and very welcoming/inviting. The park was very clean and the Main Street area was very bright and vibrant. They added wait time signs at the entrance of each ride which is a nice touch and gives you an idea of how long you’ll wait in line so you can plan accordingly. It is the oldest theme park in America, but it has a nice charm to it and they’ve done an incredible job maintaining the park throughout the years. Parking is easy and they have a huge lot very close to the park - less than 5 minutes from the exit to our car.

Wow, this place is amazing, Six Flags just lost a season pass holder, my family and I plan to come here going forward. Everything was just better, less chaotic and cheaper(way!) We just took the little one this trip, plenty of rides for her, the adult rides looked awesome, we'll be back to ride those, no doubt. The food offerings seemed adequate and plenty of choices. We did not eat this time, not because we didn't like anything, we just arrived after a late breakfast, skipped lunch and had dinner off park. The water park, oh my goodness, included with admission, totally worth that price alone. It was so hot, this was a HUGE relief! All in all, this place is perfect for my family and over the next few Summers we're going to get more aquatinted for sure! This IS a 5 Star Amusement Park!

Got done with lake compounce, was a fun outing with me and one of my partners. Overall we give the park a B. The employees provide great Customer service, friendly & engaging. Food was standard fare but there were options that were cost effective as well as Some interesting seasonal options. That said the parking directions ended up having us circling needlessly, and the road needs to be finished paved ASAP. If possible they really need to invest in more signage in the area. The other major detriment was the yellow jackets. They were everywhere in particular any drinking fountain or seated area. It was challenging to avoid especially when eating. We came for the haunted houses and reviewed them in the photos. Overall the rides were enjoyable though some showed notable wear and tear. In one of the game bakers stands the plushies were noticibly moldy which was concerning (though the employee said those ones are not given to guests "Display only")

I haven’t been to Lake Compounce in years! From the parking attendants to the maintenance person every staff person was very friendly and helpful. It was a beautiful day and I advise purchasing as much as you can online. It definitely helped. *The refillable cups are definitely worth every penny! Oh and the water park…Crocodile Cove is so much fun!
Kishanna S — Google review
We chose a nice weather day, it wasn't too hot, so it was ideal for all the walking. Some lines were very long and needless to say, the water park area was very crowded. We got there a little after 11a and it took us about 15 minutes to get to the line to pay to get into the park, so pack your patience. And if you haven't been there in a while, please purchase your tickets on line, it's a lot more convenient. And they are cashless. But overall, the kiddos had a great time at the water park.
Saki T — Google review
Took my 4 year old and 20 month daughters! They had a great time at the water park and also on the rides. Visited on a Monday so it didn’t feel crowded, water park was clean and lifeguards were doing a magnificent job! Food was also very good! Definitely coming back!

Oh my gosh,I had the best time in the world here!!felt like a kid again,clean surroundings, water rides, helps cool you down when you get hot,there's a huge variety of games ,rides and even beach!!Plenty of spaces to sit and take a break under the shade or under a canopy,umbrella or sun...whatever you wish for. Free unlimited iced water and varieties of fountain sodas. The bathrooms are very clean and the staff friendly and responsive. We were 3 adults and 2 kids(8 &5) + all day parking =$207 total $36/person, 27 for parking. We brought our own pizza ,refreshments and snacks so we didn't have to spend more than we already had to enter. I actually think we adults had as much fun or more fun than the kids,lol. We got there right after they opened at 11.30am,left at 8.15pm and we still hadn't gone on all the rides!we have to go back!we had the time of our lives and I highly recommend this place to all families,groups and couples, there's something for everyone and all ages. What a day!!

Museums
The Yale University Art Gallery is a museum that exhibits art from different regions and time periods, housed in the notable Louis I. Kahn building among others. The gallery offers an impressive display of artwork, allowing visitors to immerse themselves in various genres and styles. On weekends, finding parking is manageable, and the staff is welcoming and helpful. Lockers are also available for storing personal belongings while exploring the exhibits.
This is a great place to visit. They have a vast collection of beautiful pieces. It’s definitely a place you could spend hours looking around. We did the whole place with moderate pace in just under two hours. Overall if you want to see beautiful art or kill some time in the air conditioning this is a great place to visit.

A true gem in the heart of New Haven. The Yale University Art Gallery offers an impressive collection that feels both world-class and deeply accessible. The range is astounding—European masters, ancient artifacts, African art, modern American works—all beautifully curated. The architecture itself is worth the visit, blending historic charm with clean, contemporary lines that let the art breathe. What makes it even more remarkable? Admission is free. You can wander for hours without feeling rushed, discovering both iconic pieces and lesser-known works that surprise you. The atmosphere strikes the perfect balance between scholarly and welcoming, making it a joy whether you’re an art historian or just casually exploring.

This place is a must-visit. I love the rich history of the building itself it adds so much character to the experience. The collection they have is incredible! Lots to look at and read about. I ended up getting a bit lost in the building which just adds to the adventure! A wonderful place to walk around and feel inspired!
Haley F — Google review
Amazing, amazing museum. I was totally in awe with the extensive collection particularly of modern art and Asian art. It speaks volumes of Yale’s education that showing students the original works of art was important. I was also impressed that many of the alumni donated their famous paintings rather than selling them at auction, a testament to the intellect of Yale alumni. Finally, the art work is so beautifully, impeccably displayed - hats off to the curators. This is the crown jewel of the University!!! A must visit for art lovers
Snakey — Google review
A great gallery and museum that covers a variety of art collections from various periods of human history. The information notes are insightful and add depth to the experience. I ‘d recommend a whole day if one prefers to immense oneself in learning of the art and histories, but half day will also do for a quick walkthrough. Can’t believe that it is free and my respect goes to the beneficiaries. And I found my favorite sentence about art in this gallery. “Art is man’s distinctly human way of fighting death.”
Yulan Z — Google review
If you visit it without kids, it's one of the best art museums. But, If you visit with your kids, it's one of the worst. Like every art museum, the experience depends on how you visit. Obviously, it's not a family-friendly museum (for families with kids). The collection is surprisingly vast, with everything from ancient artifacts to modern masterpieces. The space is beautifully designed, and best of all, admission is free. It's a must-visit spot in New Haven for art lovers or anyone looking for inspiration.
Asiri B — Google review
It’s a truly wonderful art museum with an incredibly rich collection. I really enjoyed it — from classical to modern, you can find works by almost every painter, sculptor, and installation artist you can think of. While I was exploring the exhibits, I noticed a large parade happening on the street outside… It was massive, and it took more than an hour just to pass by the entrance.

Hildene, The Lincoln Family Home

Mentioned on 
14 lists 
Historical place museum
Nature & Parks
Hildene, The Lincoln Family Home- Welcome Center is a grand Georgian Revival mansion and estate located in Manchester. Originally built by Robert Todd Lincoln, the son of Abraham Lincoln, and his wife Mary, this historic site offers guided tours of the mansion filled with deep historical significance. Visitors can also explore the beautifully maintained gardens and venture out onto 12 miles of trails across the grounds.
Hildene is a stunning Manchester landmark and one of the most beautiful places I’ve ever visited. I had the pleasure of coming here in the summer for a wedding, and the setting could not have been more perfect. The sweeping views of the surrounding Green Mountains are truly hard to beat, absolutely breathtaking in every direction. The Lincoln estate itself is rich in history, and one of the standout moments was seeing President Abraham Lincoln’s iconic top hat on display. It’s an unforgettable connection to our nation’s past.

Beautiful home and flawless gorgeous gardens. Here on Aug 31 and garden was in full bloom. One of 3 remaining Lincoln top hats on display and it has a fascinating story of provenance. Ask a docent to tell you...esp the part about the Dorset Inn piano! The organ is amazing...what a birthday gift! Do NOT miss the restored Pullman train car...it is spectacular and a must see.
Ingrid H — Google review
Visiting the Hildene Lincoln family home was an incredible experience! The house is beautifully preserved and truly captures the feel of the 1905 era. The docents were wonderfully knowledgeable, sharing history and details that brought the home to life. Even though it was a rainy day, the property itself was stunning and well worth exploring. One of the highlights was the restored Pullman train car—absolutely fascinating! John, the docent, did an amazing job explaining the history and significance of the car, making it one of the most memorable parts of the visit. A truly special place to learn, explore, and appreciate history. Highly recommend!
Wendi R — Google review
The Hildene, Lincoln Family Home, was the home of Abe's son and family. You enter and purchase tickets at the Visitor's Center where a map is provided to guide you around the property. While you can walk it, there are also trams to take you from site to site. The main family home is a two story dwelling with all the artifacts of the family on display. A garden in back and view of the valley reveals why this location was selected. The observatory is intriguing, and the Pullman train car used on location but now just for viewing is a rare sight. The goat farm is a working stable with milking daily producing gallons. The Hildene is definitely worth the several hours of investigation you can invest.
TR F — Google review
It is a beautiful spot and one learns a lot about Lincoln family. I have to say a bit pricy for admission. One has to get there early enough to walk around to enjoy this beautiful spot and see the farm. If you are into gardens, a well kept privet hedge is a good to look at.
Harnek S — Google review
The house itself was nothing special and I was let down a bit. It was lacking the opulence of some other historic homes I've visited, but that's no fault of the owners that just maintain it. With all that money they really should have built better. For us, the best part (aside from the gorgeous views) were the goats at the dairy and the incredibly friendly, knowledgeable man that was there to answer our questions. He was so passionate about his work and we loved talking to him about his goats. That kind of passion is infectious and he singlehandedly made that visit worthwhile.
Brandon M — Google review
Had a great visit here around the Lincoln family home. Visited on a midweek morning, plenty of parking right outside. Reasonable price to enter and lots to hear and see. The Portman train cabin and working automatic organ in the main house were the best parts that we really enjoyed. The staff are knowledgeable and clearly very passionate on the estate history. Highly recommend a visit.

Nestled in the picturesque town of Williamstown, MA, the Clark Art Institute is a must-visit destination. Set on 140 acres of lush landscape, this museum showcases an impressive collection of 19th-century American and European paintings, as well as silver and more. Visitors can admire works by renowned artists like Winslow Homer and a remarkable array of impressionist pieces, including over 30 Renoirs.
Amazing museum packed full with old European art by artists such as Monet. The buildings the museum made up of beautiful, with modern design and amazing architecture. The grounds are great as well. One of the best parts was the staff. Ellen was amazing! I will definitely be returning here. Highly recommended!

One of the top cultural gems of Massachusetts - wonderful art, architecture, landscape; educational, research and conference facilities. For visitors to The Berkshires, a worthwhile destination to spend a day. Something here for all ages. Handicapped accessible. Carts available to transport visitors around the extensive campus (for those not wanting or able to walk). PS - one of the world’s finest collections of Renoir paintings on display.

Amazing museum! I loved all the paintings. The poppy fields by Monet was exquisite. My favorite artist is George Inness. Home at Montclair brought me to tears. Such a special place. I plan on going back to explore the outdoors and the trails. Staff were friendly, helpful and kind.

This review is for the outdoor space only, which is super dog friendly! Such a nice place to chill and stroll with your dog (or not). Highly recommend checking out the “reflecting pool” at the Clark Center. The Nan path has no steps, and takes about 10~15 mins. Note that the Woodland trail from the Nan path was closed at the time we visited. Cannot wait to be back to check out the museum and other trails!

My visit to the Clark Art Institute left a lasting impression on me. The art collections there—whether Western, Eastern, or from other regions—are remarkably exquisite and reflect a refined artistic taste. Although I have only been there once, that brief experience allowed me to truly feel the power of art and the awe of beauty. I cherish the Clark Art Institute not only for the excellence of its collections but also for the serene atmosphere it creates, which brings peace of mind. I believe that every future visit will be an important opportunity for me to cultivate myself and enhance my ability to appreciate art.
Xdong S — Google review
A remarkable art institute in the beauty of the Berkshires very near Williamstown. They recently received an enormous collection to add to their already considerable one and are building a new facility for it. Can't speak to that but can say that the current collection which has its weaknesses (the Dutch Masters) and strengths (Impressionists especially Renour and Monet) is exceptional for a relatively small Institute as well as being very well displayed. The surrounding grounds match the collection in their beauty and there are numerous rewarding trails throughout. The gift shop is fine if limited and the café is about as you would expect or perhaps a bit better than that. It is a terrific place to spend a full day. You'll remember the experience well and be eager to return.
Jack S — Google review
Forget Mass MoCa with its old and tired DEI infused indoctrination and head instead to the Clark Art Institute for its timeless real art that will stand the test of time. Their Impressionists collection is nothing short of stunning with numerous works from Renoir, Monet, Manet, Gauguin and Degas and others like Goya and Gericault along with great American artists. Beautiful architecture and nice trail to top it all off. Not to be missed.

The Maritime Aquarium at Norwalk

Aquarium
Zoos & Aquariums
The Maritime Aquarium at Norwalk, previously known as the Maritime Center, is a popular family-friendly attraction located in the vibrant neighborhood of SoNo. It houses over 7,000 marine animals including sharks, turtles, river otters, and seals in recreated habitats resembling their natural Long Island Sound environment. Visitors can interact with coastal creatures at three touch tanks and enjoy a state-of-the-art 4D theater experience.
Had blast here as a last minute stop on our route and it turned out to be a nice decision. We arrived at 3 pm on a Thursday and the place was filled but not crowded. Staff were friendly and informative at each of the stations. We saw multiple touch stations here and loved being able to see the how it works areas and how we do things spots. Lots of jellyfish if you like jellyfish as they breed them. And some friendly sea turtles. Nice stop if you are in the area.

We stopped here on a trip back from seeing family. I’ve been to many aquariums and this one was pretty awesome and ranks highly for me. Many touch tanks for the kids, stingrays, baby horseshoe crabs, etc. I liked the sea turtles and the jelly room was cool too. A lot of animals and fish I’ve never seen before. Lots of cool turtles and tortoises too. Parking was easy at the garage and was only $6. Those chicken tenders hit hard too! Good at the cafe was the best museum food I’ve had.

First time visiting. Very large, not too crowded when we entered right on 10am. I purchased tickets ahead of time in case there are many visitors. Sharks and other ocean animals were exhibited in clean water. We had some “touch and feel” experiences. They have water and soap on the side so kids can get clean after that. My son loved it!

We were there 3 hours and it wasn't enough. My kids loved it. I worked as an educator here years ago, and it was so fun to share with my kiddos. We will be back! Most of the exhibits and wildlife are local from the long Island sound. Our local flora and fauna are very interesting and worth protecting.

Definitely one of the best aquariums we’ve been too and we’re from Florida. Bit pricey but so is everything in the Norwalk area. Great exhibits, lots of interactive exhibits/things to do for kids. My 2yr old had a blast. He loved the seal feeding, sharks, touch tanks and jellyfish. Animals look healthy and tanks are clean. The facility and food court was also very clean. Gift shop isn’t too bad overpriced. Surprisingly good food in the cafeteria with healthy options.
Alec C — Google review
The Aquarium is bigger than I thought it was going to be. It has an extensive collection of different varieties of jellyfish. Several touch tanks for the kids and many displays of local and tropical fish. They do have some other animals and owls on display in one of the wings that seemed a little random but other than that overall a very impressive experience.

We had a wonderful time at The Maritime Aquarium! It’s the perfect size—not too big, not too small—which made it very manageable with young kids. My children had a great time exploring all the exhibits, especially the fish, seals, baby crocodile, and even sharks! We bought our tickets online, which made entry super easy and hassle-free. There’s a nice kids’ play area inside, complete with stroller parking nearby, which was super convenient. Strollers are allowed throughout the aquarium, making it easy to get around with little ones. We arrived in the afternoon and had no trouble finding parking. Although we took Exit 5 to grab lunch, we noticed there were food carts just outside the aquarium, which is a great option if you want something quick and easy. There are also snacks available inside. The 4D theater was a cool experience—my kids are still a bit too young to enjoy the 4D glasses, but we loved it! I think older kids would really enjoy that part. Right next to the aquarium is a lovely waterfront area where you can sit, relax, and enjoy the view. There’s also a train bridge nearby. My little boys were thrilled to spot trains going by in the distance—it was a fun surprise for them! We spent about 2–3 hours here, which felt just right. Overall, it’s a family-friendly, easygoing place that offers both fun and learning. Highly recommended for families with young children!

We went here on a weekend and it was best place to spend your afternoon. The aquarium is easy to navigate. We were able to see the seal feeding and touch certain type of fishes. It is a cool thing to do with your friends, family and kids. They have sharks, huge turtles, seals, jellyfish…..

Storm King Art Center

Art center
Museums
Storm King Art Center is a sprawling 500-acre sculpture park that is open seasonally to the public. Visitors can enjoy tram tours, bike rentals and a cafe while taking in the beauty of the grounds and sculptures. It's recommended to wear comfortable shoes as there are inclines and walks through woods like a casual hike. Bundle up on cooler days as it gets chilly fast once the sun sets, but make sure not to leave before seeing all of the art on display.
As someone who is both an art and nature lover, visiting the Storm King Art Center was an unforgettable experience. Exploring the grounds as well as the special indoor art exhibition were truly a magical experiences. The park was incredibly easy to navigate, peaceful, and full of so many different artworks that are absolutely delightful to experience. There is something here for every art lover. There are also little carts available for people to ride on throughout the park in order to get to different parts of the area quickly and efficiently, which is great. I personally walked the entire time and would recommend wearing comfy, weather appropriate shoes and clothing, as well as bringing a water bottle and a snack (they permit picnics in the park as far as I know) The bathrooms were accessible and widely available and there were tons of areas and benches to sit at. I don’t regret visiting at all and will definitely be returning.

I had a fabulous time at Storm King Art Center. Upon entering, one of the funniest realizations I had about the energy of the space was actually while using the entrance bathroom. You're washing your hands in outdoor sinks, overlooking the foliage and trees. It was in that instant I knew I was going to enjoy my visit. You could say that the art of Storm King is within the contents of its very own landscape as sculptures and nature collide. I intentionally chose to visit during autumn when the tress started to change colors in the leaves, having been told that the change in color affects the interpretation and experience of the sculpture. It's true! I can imagine that visiting at different times throughout the year yields unique experiences. I had so much fun walking along the path; you can also rent a bike or take a tram while you're there as well if you decide. It was nice to see the park accessible to everyone, showing consideration for the visitors who were there. I also really enjoyed basking in the colossal sculptures, but was most excited to see one of Noguchi's work near the museum. Overall, I highly recommend visiting this open air museum at least once. It's a unique experience, and as a NYC native, I appreciated being able to see large works in that capacity. I've seen many galleries and museums, but this was just something special.
Jasmine — Google review
Absolutely breathtaking place — part outdoor museum, part nature escape. The massive sculptures scattered across open fields, hills, and trees make you feel like you’re walking through a dream landscape. Every turn gives you a new perspective — some pieces look completely different depending on where you stand. I went on a clear autumn day, and the colors of the trees mixed with the giant metal and stone sculptures were just stunning. It’s quiet, peaceful, and incredibly inspiring. You do need to walk a lot (or rent bikes or use the tram), so wear comfy shoes and bring water. The park is huge — easily a half-day or full-day visit if you want to see everything. Tickets are a bit pricey, but totally worth it for the experience. Perfect for art lovers, photographers, or anyone who just wants to be surrounded by beauty and space. Tip: Go early in the day, bring a hat and water, and take your time — it’s not about rushing, it’s about letting the art and landscape unfold around you.

Amazing location! Gorgeous in the fall with the changing leaves and mountains. Lots of walking including hills and gravel paths. It took me almost four hours of nonstop walking to see everything. Definitely take the map offered with you. The scultures were hit or miss. Some winners and some "meh." I like Grounds for Sculpture outside Newark, NJ much better. Definitely worth a stop on a beautiful day and you want to get your steps in. They do offer trams throughout the park but you will miss half the sculptures if you stick to the trams. They offer bike rentals but you have to walk them on the gravel paths which are about half of the network. There are picnic tables in one area of the park and a small cafe.

I spent 6 hours here and I barely got to look through everything. This place is very cool, even without the art, the nature and the picturesque views already makes this a top tier park to bring your kids to. The art adds a striking contrast that just looks really cool. Getting around the park is pretty easy. It's a huge park, but you don't need to walk it. There is a tram that comes around and brings you to all the different locations around the park. The tram is on time pretty much down to the minute. You can also ride around on a rented bike. I personally don't recommend this. It's really expensive and you can use up a lot of time if you want to stop and look at the art. Not to mention some of the paths where bikes aren't allowed and you need to walk your bike several hundred meters. Overall, this is an amazing place. I came here twice and it still blows my mind.

Lovely grounds to spend a few hours. Recommend during foliage! $25 entry per person. Can picnic on the grounds on the grass or at the picnic tables. The Maya Lin installment can be accessed inside each month from 15th to end of the month. Very special place to visit in Hudson Valley! Lots of parking on site available.

I went there for a field trip when I was a child and decided to bring my teen who’s interested in art. She loved it. She didn’t love all the walking. This is great if you want to spend the day hiking up steep hills. But, also good because if you choose not to walk they offer free trams to locations throughout the property. Make sure to wear comfortable walking shoes that you don’t mind getting muddy or dirty if you decide to walk to each installation. We had so much fun! Now for a well deserved nap. 😂

One of the best sculpture parks in the Northeast! The grounds are very large so be prepared to walk if you want to go on your own. I recommend taking the shuttle around the park first to get your bearings and see what you might want to look at closer, they run around the park about every 1/2 hour. The area around the gift shop/gallery is one of the area you should see. Many sculptures and spectacular views! First Friday of the month is usually a free admission day, It's worth the trip!

Fort Henry National Historic Site

Historical place
Sights & Landmarks
Fort Henry National Historic Site is a captivating glimpse into 19th-century military life, nestled at the confluence of Lake Ontario and the St. Lawrence River. This restored British fortification, built between 1832 and 1840, showcases impressive limestone structures that served as a defensive stronghold. Visitors can immerse themselves in history through guided tours or explore independently while enjoying engaging daily activities like flag ceremonies, cannon firings, and musical performances.
A very well maintained national historic site to learn about Canadian history and its military past. We spent around a couple of hours exploring the fort thoroughly. There are several restaurants, cafés, and a collectibles shop inside the fort. Along with the historic structures, everyday items from the past, and specific sections dedicated to different purposes, visitors can also enjoy live performances and drills. They’re informative and interesting to experience. Though we didn’t opt for it, one can also sign up for archery and rifle classes, which look very interesting. Even though it was a public holiday, finding a parking spot wasn’t an issue for us. And the views from the top are fantastic too!

Fabulous place to head up to watch the sunset. We went on the haunted walk at night which was relatively cool except we had a young person as part of the tour maybe 10 or 11 years old who didn't follow any of the rules repeatedly made noise and Flash their flashlight which really ruined the ambience and the parents weren't doing much about it. Lots of cool spiders though!

Good place for half day trip. Although, entry ticket is high compared to fort size and being national heritage size. Many restaurants inside the fort. Fort itself is well maintained and you can get free tour guide who explains different areas. Good collection of old guns, swords and some old cannons. Actors performing soldiers are very good and take their parts very active and seriously. They have good performances going on entire day which includes canon firing and gun firings. Overall good walk around the fort.

Amazing history and a wonderful tour! We watched the guards marching and rehearsing, and they demonstrated the use of musical instruments, signals, and drums — we even had a chance to play the drums ourselves. The guards also demonstrated the firing of guns. The fort has many rooms on display, and the gift shop offers freshly baked bread from an on‑site oven. It was a very educational and memorable experience!

Fort Henry was such a cool experience! The historic atmosphere, the costumed guides, and the live demonstrations (like the cannon firing and marching) really brought history to life. Great views over the lake and Kingston too. It’s fun for both adults and kids – especially the museum section and the tunnels. Totally worth the visit if you're anywhere near Kingston!
Amir K — Google review
A fantastic experience that is well worth the visit. Tickets are a little pricy but its made up for with fantastic staff that are all very knowledgeable about the fort and the history of it plus the live drills they perform. On top of this the views offered from the fort are breathtaking. I'd argue this is thee place to visit for anything historical about Kingston if you only had one place you could visit, this would be the one I would choose hands down.

To be fair before I begin, when we visited we were in the middle of a crazy hot period in the summer (heat warnings were in place) and a lot of Fort Henry is open and exposed, so our enjoyment may have been muted a little bit. Aside from the heat however, the tour and experience was very satisfying. The guided tour was somewhat informative although our guide seemed a little newer as he didn’t have answers for all questions asked. The costumed staff were a nice touch, however more context on who they were or what their function was during the period was would have been nice. Bistro and shops seemed out of place and not fitting with the historical significance of the Fort which detracted from the visit. More information and context would have been nice.

This was first time back at Fort Henry since I was a kid back in 1996. The fort still looks the same. This was also my family’s first time visiting. We did the guided tour & the guide was a young lady who I can’t remember her name was so very knowledgeable, took time explaining everything in simple terms for the kids to understand. Only downside was the group was very large so it was a bit hard to hear her voice & see some of the places inside the fort. The canon firing was awesome to see & so was the other demonstrations & the final drum parade was amazing. One other thing the guide or the ticket agent didn’t mention was to stay off the canons so don’t climb on them or you will get yelled at by the staff as it happened to a few people.

Sandbanks Provincial Park

Public beach
Nestled in the heart of Prince Edward County, Sandbanks Provincial Park is a stunning recreational oceanfront destination renowned for its breathtaking natural beauty. Home to the largest sand dune system in the world and a picturesque freshwater sandbar, this park offers an array of outdoor activities from April to October. With over 600 campsites available—ranging from fully equipped sites with electricity to more secluded walk-in options—there's something for everyone looking to immerse themselves in nature.
Sandbanks is an absolute gem and easily one of the most stunning beaches in Ontario. The sand is soft and clean, the water is clear and refreshing, and the shoreline seems to stretch forever. It’s the perfect spot whether you want to swim, sunbathe, or just take a relaxing walk along the beach. The dunes are gorgeous and make for great photo opportunities, and there’s plenty of space so it never feels overly cramped, even on busier days. The shallow, gentle waters make it ideal for families, while the wide open views are pure bliss for anyone looking to unwind.

The outlets beach is the most popular, with it's expansive, two-kilometre-long shoreline, soft, white sand and rolling waves, thousands flock here each summer. 750,000 of them, in fact. A day-use-only beach, you're required to book your visit in advance to guarantee entry, but it's worth it. There's a restaurant on site and many washrooms and changing rooms nearby. Plenty of parking but get there early for a good spot.

Sandbanks Provincial Park is an amazing spot for a picnic, a relaxing day at the beach, and swimming. The beach is entirely sandy with no rocks, making it ideal and comfortable for swimming. To enter the park, you’ll need to reserve or register in advance. The park is well-equipped with change rooms, bathrooms, and plenty of parking. There’s also lots of space to sit and relax near the water, whether you’re sunbathing, snacking, or just taking in the view. A perfect getaway for a summer day!

So beautiful. The camp sites are nice. Happy to hear the comfort station is getting an upgrade. Though I’ll doubt they will change the footprint, more stalls are needed. The bathroom is always busy with its proximity to the beach and all the camp sites. The sunsets are gorgeous. We always have a wonderful time here. Highly recommend!

A stunning provincial park. The park itself is quite big. They have two park stores, a few trails and lots of beach space. We only stayed for a day but the campsites looked nice as well. Lots of friendly staff and endless beaches to explore.

Had a beautiful day at Sandbanks today. Made some great memories with family. Playing in the sand and in the water. The water was fantastic! Loads of parking and space on the beach. Highly recommend it if you haven't been.

This was a wow experience, Desert in Ontario and I really mean it, miles of desert around, I went early morning like 9.30 AM, ensure to reserve a day pass from Canada Parks website, the beaches have basic facilities- clean washroom and changing rooms, lot of benches etc, and parking is near to the beaches.

Today was a wonderful day at the Dunes Beach!! Blue sky, clear water, not too busy for a summer Friday, and a positively awesome experience. We have been to Outleat and Lakeshore Beaches in previous years, and even then, this park does not disappoint! Waves can be fun, but wind gusts were only up to 15km/h instead of 40km/h, which made it suitable for paddleboarding on the water. It's about 500 meters from Dunes Trail parking to the shore. However, paddling on the shore is much easier for finding beach space than treading on the deep, hot sand anyway! The beach is so nice and clean despite all the negative fishy news circulating on social media. Be ready for sand, lots of it! We are planning for more trips this summer!

The Big Apple

Mentioned on 
2 lists 
$$$$affordable
Restaurant
The Big Apple in Colborne is a popular roadside attraction that offers a variety of activities for visitors. From counter-serve dining to mini golf and kiddie train rides, there's something for everyone. The venue features a bakery, cidery, country store, and market, making it an ideal stopover during any season. Visitors can enjoy mouth-watering dishes like pulled pork sandwiches and smoked chicken wraps at the Smokehouse Kitchen.
We recently took a one-day trip to the Big Apple, and it was a lovely experience, especially for the kids! The place is small but full of little joys – from the charming petting zoo to a fun gaming zone that kept the children entertained throughout. One of the highlights was walking inside the giant apple structure and reaching the top — the view from there was quite refreshing! Their bakery offers a variety of apple-themed goodies that smell divine, though slightly on the pricey side. Still, worth trying once for the experience. Overall, it’s a great short getaway spot if you're traveling with kids. Simple, fun, and filled with memories!

Very nice, cool building. “Did you know?” The Big Apple is the largest apple shaped structure in the entire WORLD! I think The Big Apple houses many apple themed products such as apples, (i think) apple pie, apple bread, and more! The washrooms are super cool themed and very clean. One of the sinks in the men’s bathroom, I believe the one closest to the door on the left when you enter, had really strong water pressure like a laser. There’s also a good amount of food trucks and ice cream too outside, as well as a sweets section in the building.

How cool is that? There’s endless possibilities of snacks and treats with apples. The Big Apple is such a vibe, goes to show how much you can do with one fruit. There is every kind of apple treat you can think of, pies, donuts, cider, candy apples, you name it! The petting zoo is cool too and the whole place just feels like the perfect little road trip stop with the family or friends. 100% worth it! 🍏

Everything was nice here from the freshly baked pies, donuts, chocolate, fudge and coffee. Cashier's nice and friendly. Over all the place is kept very nice and clean as well as the bathrooms. I have to admit the food that they serve was not great from the chicken fingers, fries and wraps. I was hungry so I ate the tasteless Caesar wrap. The turkey and cheddar sandwich was super disappointing due to a processed patty. The burger and hot dog was edible for the kids. Not sure about the oil they used, the fries and chicken was not enjoyable, even the kids couldn't eat it with ketchup. I figured the next day to re heat the fries in the air fryer they had a weird smell and taste. I threw them all out. I would not recommend the items I purchased at all. It was very disappointing $70 food purchase for 5 meals.

We swung by The Big Apple for what was meant to be just a quick stop, and wow, what a mistake! This place is seriously fun and has so much more going on than just the giant, iconic roadside attraction. We actually tried to come during the summer for the petting zoo, but by the time we finished with the animals, the big store was already closed. I'm so glad we got the chance to go inside today! I didn’t get as many photos as I wanted because we were too busy running around, but trust me, the main store inside is huge. It’s not just a gift shop; it's packed floor-to-ceiling with local jams, regional treats, amazing pies, and all sorts of fun novelty items. My quick stop turned into an hour instantly. If you're planning a trip, prepare to lose some time! You could easily spend 2 to 3 hours here just browsing, grabbing some delicious fresh-baked goods, and exploring the whole area. It’s a great spot for families or anyone needing a memorable, delicious pit stop. Highly recommend, but definitely don't rush it like we did!

You can really feel the passion of the owner in keeping The Big Apple thriving. The place offers a wonderful variety of food, freshly baked products, candies, and cider — all showcasing its lively spirit. With excellent parking for both cars and tour buses, it has truly become an iconic must-visit stop along Highway 401 heading east.

Great place to visit with your family and friends. They have a little bit of everything, food, gift, bakery, candies and even an pet zoo. The food was super tasty and the portion were very good, we were super impressed and satisfied with the flavour and prices of everything.

This place is a worthwhile pit stop for long travels but I do not recommend it as a travel destination (if that makes sense). The place has got every necessary thing a pit stop station would have but make it all apple. There is also a small restaurant located at the back of the grocery area with outdoor seats. The shop stands outside were closed when we visited on a weekday afternoon, however. 🥐🥪 pastries were freshly made and were enjoyable but some may find it a little too sweet. ___________ Upon exiting the store through the back door, you will see the Big Apple to your left, and next to it are some apple trees. To the left, there is a mini-putt activity for free and a ramp to exit the building. ___________ You can enter the apple through the side entrance. There are a total of 3 flights of stairs to access the very top part of the apple. It is spacious, dusty and ventilated by 2 electric fans on the second floor. There are also a few benches on the second floor. Overall, it is such a beautiful place to stop by and keep the morale of a long trip.
