Beautiful urban park in the local historic district of Worcester that bears its name. This was the first park in the US where land was purchased expressly for the purpose of establishing a park for the public. While not a very large area, the ponds and pathways create a very pleasant and restful environment. Plenty of seating and a very nice area for children to play. Accessible for physically handicapped — wheelchair and walker friendly (except for the two bridges - but those don’t need to be crossed in order to enjoy the park).

We loved this theater! We saw Something Rotten- it was great! The cast was great and the theater was beautiful. I don't think there's a bad seat in there! We had a wonderful time and can't wait to go back. Vibrant down town with lots of great restaurants.

This is a really nice theater. Excellent sound and big screens on the walls to project the live show. The chairs are really comfy with a good amount of leg room. Hanging around a casino while you wait to enter is fun because you can watch people playing slots or cards games. And it provides places to eat or spend some time before or after the show. The staff is phenomenal. The ushers help you find your seat and keep the line moving. The merchandise staff handles the crowd professionally and expertly. Security does their job without being aggressive. It’s a hotel casino, so there is plenty of parking and parking options. Be sure to park on the correct side or else you’ll have a very long walk to the theater. Of course, you have the option to stay at the hotel and not have to worry about traffic beforehand or driving home late at night. The Premier Theater is a great venue to catch a live show. The option to make a full day or weekend out of it makes this venue even better.

We visited the Mashantucket Pequot Museum & Research Center this past weekend and were absolutely blown away. The museum is not only beautifully designed, but also incredibly educational. Every exhibit was thoughtfully curated, bringing history to life in a way that was engaging for both adults and children. Our kids especially loved the immersive displays—walking through the life-sized village scenes and learning about the Pequot people’s history and culture left a lasting impression on them. It’s rare to find a museum where young children are so captivated and genuinely interested in learning. The staff was warm, welcoming, and eager to answer any questions. You could truly feel their pride in the stories being told. We left feeling more informed, inspired, and grateful for the experience. This is a must-visit for anyone in the area. Whether you’re a local or just passing through, make time for this remarkable museum—you won’t regret it!

Hardwick has a broad selection of unique wines. Want a wine slushie? You can have that! Want a pitcher of sangria? Yup, you can have that as well. Want to take a bottle home? Of course you can! Enjoy your wine upstairs, downstairs, on the covered veranda, or out on the lawn. Want a quiet spot? Walk on the grounds, sit in the gazebo or pavilion, or set up a lawn chair anywhere. Hardwick often presents live music and hosts seasonal events throughout the year. Finally, you can bring snacks to enjoy with your wine. Enjoy!

Stayed in a sky tower room which is nice. Plenty of room. The casino is awesome. Had fun playing slots and tried a few restaurants for breakfast and dinner. Staff are friendly and helpful. I like that you can check in online and get your own key card for room at a kiosk. Saves so much time and room was ready by 12:00 because they texted me. Just a very nice, upscale casino and surroundings.

Great place to find great stuff. Not all the sellers are good though. I wanted to buy a tray, initial price was $25. Wife went to ask and got it down to $20. Later, we decided to buy it for $20and went to buy it. Suddenly the owner said she wants $25 now since she paid $20 for it and wanted to make a profit. So we said you said $20 and that is why we are here and “I don’t care.”. Don’t get me wrong, I have met some great people who are willing to sell at a decent haggled price. Have fun!

This is a really nice little museum. It's always a treat to see original artwork, and this particular museum made me appreciate picture books more deeply. Creative, insightful, and at times even moving, the art on display was very well curated, and the building is great. Definitely worth the trip to get here!

Super cute train ride with our son. We booked the first class tickets and it’s definitely worth it. Everyone was super friendly. The boat ride was cute but a bit too long for our kiddo on a windy day. Will try to book for the North Pole express this yr Aldo!

Very beautiful spot to sit and enjoy. Gives you a tropical castle feel in the summer with how the trees grow in, amazing view of the river with a short walk. Looks like there is hiking trails all over which is nice as well, building has restrooms even when it is closed (use front door) Motorcycle Friendly & Motorcycle Parking Available which is a huge bonus. Riders destination. Hiker or picnic day out anyone can enjoy!

Visiting Arrigoni Winery is always a delight! Their monthly Wine and Yoga nights are always the highlight of my summer. They are a great event to get together with your friends. The yoga class truly works for all levels (even my friends who have never practiced before). Then to top it off with a wine tasting brought straight to your mat and a super tasty light dinner - it is always such a treat!

Our experience overall was very positive. There were many diverse science activities that would interest children, teens, and adults. The exhibits ranged across disciplines of physics, chemistry, geology, and engineering. The staff were all very friendly and parking was convenient but did cost.

The Wadsworth Atheneum Museum of Art, located in the heart of Hartford, Connecticut, is a remarkable destination for art enthusiasts and history lovers alike. As the oldest continuously operating public art museum in the United States, it boasts an impressive legacy that is beautifully reflected in its distinctive, castle-like architecture—a striking landmark that sets it apart from other institutions. One of the museum’s most captivating features is its magnificent Great Hall, a space of exceptional beauty and grandeur that leaves a lasting impression. During my visit on a peaceful weekday afternoon, the quiet atmosphere allowed for an intimate and thoughtful exploration of the museum’s diverse collections, ranging from European masterpieces to contemporary works. Whether you are a dedicated art connoisseur or simply seeking a culturally enriching experience, the Wadsworth Atheneum offers an unforgettable journey through centuries of artistic achievement. It’s a true gem on the East Coast and undoubtedly worth a visit.

I was not aware of the fact that CT has such a beautiful, huge state park. Nicely maintained, clean, plenty of camping and picnic area. Like East Beach than the West beach because the East Beach was comparatively less chaotic. People were fishing happily. The cute museum in the parking was an additional attraction for any age of people.

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. General tour Senior Citizens (ages 65+) $26 Adults (ages 17-64) $28 Children (ages 6-16) $15 Children Under 6 Live History tour Senior Citizens (ages 65+) $29 Adults (ages 17-64) $31 Children (ages 1-16) – $23

We love this Rose garden. My mother was so happy to be here. She loves the flower so much and put a lot of effort into gardening and to her this place was a dream place to be. The kids enjoyed it as well. We had a relaxing time. The best time to visit is mid June I would say. You will get a splendid family pics here.

An amazing place with a calming atmosphere. The staff are very kind and friendly. We paid $48 for a cheese board and a bottle of wine. A single glass costs $18. You’re welcome to bring your own snacks — such a thoughtful gesture! I’ll definitely be coming back regularly. Highly recommended to everyone!

I always Come Here Kayak Fishing For Fluke, Weakfish, Black Fish, Black Sea Bass,

A nice place to see Daffodils. A quiet, serene place. Park surrounding a lake. Vast area. Enjoy the daffodil festival also. You can spend some hours. Good for walking or spending time . A big parking area is also available. Playground for kids was also available and a tennis court was also there. And you can also drive up to castle Craig that’s a bonus when you visit there.

This is a hidden gem (sorta speaking). It is a state park but I knew nothing about it. Well let’s just say it’s perfect. Besides the sand being a bit rocky. There was plenty of room here and we did not feel crowded like other state beaches we have been at in the past. The water was great, and the life guard presence was an added benefit. They have a great little outdoor restaurant there for many different food options. There was abundant parking and the upkeep of the grounds was great. The park employee at the entrance telling everyone about weed and excessive loud music being prohibited was great. I will say it’s nice to go to a beach and not have the overwhelming smell of weed constantly around.

This beautiful location offers a variety of interactive exhibits and stunning scenery. The site features several museums showcasing marine life, Native American history, and African culture. There's plenty of activities for both kids and adults. A lake sits in the backyard, adding to the charm. During my visit multiple events were taking place including a wedding which was an amazing experience to witness. It's a fantastic spot to explore but be sure to wear sturdy shoes as the walking trail is stone and can be a bit rough.

Can never go wrong here !!! We showed up around 2ish, staff are friendly ...got our rentals quickly and they were the most comfortable boots we've ever had ( I took note of the brand) we brought the 3-9 ticket and hit the slopes! Lifts were quick and lines little! This place has never disappointed me in 45 years of skiing! I enjoy seeing the old t-bars and hearing the kids wonder how those were used 😱🤣 on the rides up.

Came here with my family. We enjoyed ourselves 100%. The location and grounds are beautiful. The animal and wildlife look happy and well looked after. I never imagined there would be otters here! My daughter loved that part as well as the playground, I loved the art gallery as well as paying a visit to the cows! It was a very enjoyable day!

Hey there! I’ve got a fantastic place to recommend in Long Island - it’s a must-visit if you’re in the area! You can learn about one of the most interesting Presidents the USA has ever had, and it’s all about nature and the outdoors. Make sure to book your tour in advance on the website to secure your spot. Afterward, take a stroll down to the beach, pack a picnic, and enjoy the beautiful surroundings. There are meadows, woods, and trails to explore, and stunning views of the Sound. Oh, and don’t forget to bring your furry friend - dogs are welcome! There’s so much history to discover here, it’s a real gem. Trust me, it’s a must-visit when you’re in the lovely Oyster Bay!

Absolutely breathtaking. This place was massive, the gardens and flowers were very well-kept, SO SO BEAUTIFUL!! The restrooms were clean, parking was cheap, and don’t forget to bring a camera! One thing I will mention though is the amount of birthday and weddings photos people were taking there. We couldn’t enjoy the camellia house because it was unfortunately rented out for a birthday photo shoot, which by all means please take great bday pictures but it was just a tad bit disappointing.

Beautiful creations! Definitely worth visiting when you're in Beacon. Prices are reasonable. They also offer glass-blowing classes where you can make bowls, ornaments, and more!

Walking into Dia Beacon feels like entering a cathedral of perception. The former Nabisco box-printing factory, bathed in diffused Hudson Valley light, holds an atmosphere where time slows down — each artwork not merely installed, but breathing within the architecture. The vast industrial volume redefines the relationship between viewer, material, and void. In one wing, Gerhard Richter’s grey mirrors dissolve the boundary between reflection and opacity. Their stillness absorbs the daylight, folding the gallery’s gridded windows into painterly illusions. Nearby, Larry Bell’s glass constructions and Robert Irwin’s scrims create corridors of uncertainty, where the viewer becomes both subject and shadow. Walking through them is like inhaling air made visible — each surface a study in the gradations of transparency, color, and self-awareness. Descending further, the visceral pull of Richard Serra’s torqued ellipses commands bodily engagement. Their curved steel walls — monumental yet tender — demand slowness. Each turn offers a recalibration of weight, balance, and sound; your footsteps become part of the sculpture’s resonance. A parallel intensity exists in Michael Heizer’s voids, massive cuts into the floor that feel like the earth exhaling inside a room. Looking down is both thrilling and unsettling, a reminder of the geological scale that art can inhabit. Elsewhere, Joseph Beuys’s vitrines, Bruce Nauman’s neon, and John Chamberlain’s crushed metal offer counterpoints — gestures of humor, ritual, and defiance. In another hall, On Kawara’s textual works anchor time as language, while Lawrence Weiner’s wall texts and On Kawara’s banners (seen overhead) reframe the act of reading as a spatial rhythm. Dia Beacon’s curatorial strength lies in restraint. It allows artworks to exist in long, unhurried conversations with each other — a rare luxury in today’s overstimulated museum culture. The light changes, the shadows migrate, and so does one’s sense of the self within the work. Leaving the museum, one carries a strange calm — as if the act of seeing had been purified into its essence: space, light, and the quiet endurance of form.
