Green Mountain Orchards Inc is a must-visit spot for those in the area. Visitors can enjoy picking their own fruits, indulge in delicious cider and donuts, and even observe the cider-making process. Although peach picking season had ended early for one visitor, they left with an unforgettable apple pie and raved about it months later. The friendly staff and delightful treats make this orchard a highly recommended destination.
The absolute best apple cider donuts I’ve ever had! Incredibly fluffy on the inside, crisp, tasty. Don’t make my mistake and just order one. The hot apple cider is also delectable on a chilly Fall day.
Megan K — Google review
I go picking here for different fruits throughout the summer and fall seasons. It's my favorite place to go for apples and blueberries. They have such great variety and quantity compared to some other orchards/farms in the area. The staff are always incredibly friendly. I love this place and will give them my business as long as I live in the area.
Alissa A — Google review
This is the best orchard around. Our family made it an annual tradition to pick apples here. The views are spectacular especially up by the blueberry fields where there is a large granite structure. Gorgeous. Beautiful family owned, killer apple cider donuts and so much more in their fabulous shop. It is the perfect place to bring your family to pick 🍏, picnic and I even pull out my sketchbook.
Heidi L — Google review
Me and my son go every apple 🍎 season, they have the best apples of all kinds, along with some beautiful mountain views. Not only do they have the PYO option they have a store that sells pre-bagged items during all seasons. However, the star of the show is the fresh apple cider Donuts 🤌🏻🤌🏻🤌🏻 along with the Donuts you will find a variety of baked items, locally made jams, honey, and syrup. Bonus, you are able to drive your vehicle up in to the orchard if you have any disabilities which is greatly appreciated. This is a great, family friendly experience.
Debbie G — Google review
They always have a great selection of apples, their products are delicious and it’s always fun to come visit the orchard. The apple cider donuts are addictive and the employees go out of their way to help people. Love coming here!
Jessica B — Google review
This place was amazing! We actually found it thanks to the folks down at Hidden Springs Maple. Everyone here was so friendly, you can do pick your own and the cider and donuts are a must! They also have the area where they make the cider open so you can watch the process. The guy making the cider walked me through the process and was so nice to answer questions. Definitely reccomend this place if you're in the area.

Hidden Springs Maple offers a unique experience for visitors to learn about different grades of maple syrup and taste them. Visitors can also indulge in a maple creemee, a delightful treat they may not have known existed. The staff is helpful and provides directions to other local attractions, including a quintessential New England covered bridge. Additionally, the beautiful scenery and the opportunity for a walk in the nearby marsh add to the overall experience at Hidden Springs Maple.
Such a beautiful place and the lady working was so polite and friendly! The maple creeme is so delicious, couldn’t leave without trying! We bought a variety of items to try including the Maple Pepper with garlic seasoning. Excited to try all my goodies!
Cheryl C — Google review
Great spot for maple creemees. The place is super nice and modern inside plenty of parking outside on a dirt lot. I would say it is handicap accessible. There is a nice clean bathroom inside and areas to sit inside and outside. Everything was super clean and the prices were reasonable there were two young women working behind the counter and they were super nice. They even gave us samples of the different maple syrup so we knew which one to buy. They also have drinks in a refrigerator and also sell souvenirs besides maple syrup products I paid with a tap to pay function or otherwise known as Apple Pay. It was a really delicious ice cream. If you’re in the area, come check it out you will not be disappointed.
Abner B — Google review
We discovered this charming spot on our way home from Green Mountain Orchards, and it truly captured the essence of Vermont. Nestled amid the rolling hills of Putney, the setting is beautifully rustic with that unmistakable natural Vermont charm. Their maple creemees were outstanding — made with their own pure maple syrup. The maple–chocolate twist was exceptional; the chocolate was rich and deeply cocoa-forward, perfectly complementing the sweet, silky maple. Inside, the shop offered an array of thoughtfully curated, locally crafted gifts: honey and beeswax candles, wooden toys and cutting boards, and an impressive selection of their own maple syrup products. Every item reflected care and craftsmanship. It’s the kind of place that invites you to slow down and savor the simple joys of Vermont. We’re already looking forward to visiting again on our next trip through the area.
Crystal B — Google review
This was our first time having a maple creamy and it did not disappoint here at Hidden! So good and great price. We got two kiddies (good size) for six bucks. Beautiful scenery and you can go for a walk in the march around the corner.
Gemma S — Google review
We stop here every time we go blueberry or apple picking in the area to restock our maple syrup. Their maple creemee is one of the best, a must whenever its in season! There's a nice patio out front to enjoy your treats. The staff is always friendly and kind. If they're closed, you can still purchase syrup from a cabinet out front which is awesome. Make sure you go next time you're in Putney!
Sam N — Google review
We got a maple creamy from two locations while in Vermont. This was by far the better of the two. The prices are very reasonable, the customer service was amazing, and there were multiple additional products of interest that we bought. I would highly recommend going.
Walt S — Google review
The perfect place to have our first ever maple creemees. Hidden Springs has reasonable pricing, a wide selection of maple-themed products, and outdoor seating. Definitely recommend the diabolical donut bowl, featuring a warmed donut, maple creemee, and a drizzle of syrup.
Marissa P — Google review
Very friendly and accommodating staff, and a wonderful family owned business. I stopped in with my bus group on short notice, and they couldn't be any nicer to us. They served up creamie after creamie, and we are all greatfull for them serving us. Best creamie in VT I tasted, and the maple syrup was good too.

This place is a little gem, but not so little! They pack a huge variety of candy, treats and gifts from chocolates, hard candies, mints and even some hard to find old fashioned candy. A side room features their kitchen where the elves were busy making home made candy canes this day but sometimes the smell of chocolate is dizzying! The canes were the reason we discovered this store! We got Maple, Vanilla, Molasses, and Peppermint. While we were there we picked up some cream filled home made chocolates and caramel. Trust me your will enjoy your visit!

Nature & Parks
Livingston Park offers a variety of recreational activities for all ages, including a running track, baseball diamond, playground, swimming pool and boardwalk surrounding a shallow pond. The park's well-maintained sports fields provide ample space for outdoor games, while the one-mile trail through the woods is perfect for jogging or walking with plenty of shaded areas.
Great mile walk around the pond. Clean, maintained walking area. Bathrooms on site. Playground for the little ones. Picnic areas. Beautiful spot!
Katie S — Google review
Given its location, visiting Livingston Park surprises me every time 😊 It's located in a very convenient location, and there are plenty of side trails worth exploring! The main loop, approximately a mile in length, is designed for everyone. Its level terrain and accessibility make it an inclusive trail that welcomes all, regardless of their hiking experience.
Benjamin M — Google review
Nice well used circular trail the pond is great to view. There a few places to stop and just enjoy the pond. It nice seeing a variety of people getting enjoying this in town gem.
Kaaren W — Google review
Puppy Approved! Charlie and I went for a walk around the pond late afternoon/early on a Thursday evening in mid-August and, unsurprisingly, arrived to see a lot of activity in the park. The playground looked manageably busy, the fields had soccer games/practice with what looked like a an adult league, and a pretty steady flow of walkers, runners, families with kids, couples, and dog walkers around the pond. We didn’t make it to the pool or the track but I did see quite a few cars over by the track. Despite all of the goings on, parking was a breeze. The sidewalk near the parking lot and restrooms had a couple spots that could have used a cleanup but overall the trail and adjacent benches, offshoot trails, and openings were clean. It is Manchester so, unfortunately, there is a risk you may find a discarded needle somewhere but we didn’t see any. The people we encountered primarily appeared to be there for recreation although there was 1 gentleman that seemed a little out of place. We’ve found it to be safe but don’t take it for granted - you should have a phone when you come. Doggy bag dispensers were empty so make sure you come prepared. The park is a great resource to have in the city and overall it’s a great place to get outside and get moving. Charlie gets excited anytime we drive anywhere near it now.
Ryan T — Google review
Lovely little spot for a peaceful stroll or reading on a bench. The grounds are well-kept, with mature trees providing shade, and you’ll find a calming, quiet atmosphere even within city limits. Great place to pause and unwind for a few minutes. We usually walk around the pond (1.2 mile loop) that's well maintained and pet friendly
Sampath D — Google review
I've always enjoyed the walk here. Well maintained. Not to long, not to short. Scenic all seasons. Ducks hang out in the pond. Great place for a picnic, if people would pick up after themselves:( Public bathrooms available, not outhouses. The bathrooms are a little beat up but useable. Playground active with children. Manchester public pool next door. Update: June, 2020; Still an enjoyable walk! Listening to birds, seeing chipmunks and a family of ducks, people fishing and on their canoes. Moderately busy. Picked up, but, trash cans were overflowing. Bathrooms were closed. Update: July 2025; Access to the Dorrs 🎵 Break on through to the other side!🎵 Pond Trail is the highlight of the Park. My kids and I enjoy the walk here. The pond, not named Amy, is used for ⛸️ skating in the winter ❄️. There is a paved small boat 🚢 access available. I picked up a shopping 🛍️ bag worth of trash 🗑️ along the trail. I have been on trails in Manchester that have been worse. There is a makeshift bridge that leads to Pine 🎍 (?) Tree 🌲 Island 🏝️. The small island is in good 👍 shape but I think 🤔 it was used by the homeless people once. This park is popular and I have seen out of state license 🪪 🍽️ plates here.

Love this park. You can run, jog, walk or enjoy playing with the kids on the playground. Plenty of parking, it's free, and dog friendly. There is a large sized pond. I've seen kids fishing. There is a little boat launch. Trail is easy to walk. There are a few bridges. The walk is a mile loop Just a beautiful park.
Brenda C — Google review
Great place for a one mile hike around the pond. The paths are maintained well, and the park is teaming with water fowl, including ducks, geese and herons. The little bridge and wooden footpaths are wonderful. There are restrooms available right off the parking lot.

The Palace Theatre, established around 1915, is a non-profit performing arts venue that features its own theater company and youth troupe, as well as occasional guest music and comedy shows. The staff is known to be incredibly friendly and helpful, while the theater itself boasts stunning architecture with a rich history behind it. With excellent seating arrangements including balcony seats in the front row, families can enjoy top-notch performances ranging from acting to singing and dancing.
Awesome place! The staff are so friendly and make it so easy for someone with very little to no artistic talent to paint something that actually looks good when done. We did a pet your pet night and we’re definitely going to go back and finish painting the rest of our pets that we weren’t able to get to that night.

The "Bodyguard" far exceeded our expectations. The cast was amazingly talented from the dance to the acting and especially the voices on the characters. I only gave it five stars because I couldn't give it. 10. What a great experience!! The staff and volunteers at the show are always so friendly and appreciative to have our business. I actually became a member to this non-profit organization!

The Palace Theatre in downtown Manchester is excellent. It is historic, beautifully maintained, and always feels special when you walk in. I have seen a few comedy shows here before and always enjoyed them, but this past week I took my family to The Bodyguard musical. None of us are musical fans, yet the show was genuinely great. The sound was perfect, the performers were talented, and the entire experience was smooth from start to finish. The Palace is a true Manchester treasure and worth visiting for any show.

This place is so quaint and amazing. We've seen plays here, Recycled Percussion and each time we come we are impressed. I don't think there is a bad seat in the whole place. Parking isn't too bad because there is a garage right across the street and street parking if you can get it. It's right near some incredible restaurants too.

Museums
The Currier Museum of Art boasts an extensive collection of both European and American art, ranging from the works of Monet to O'Keeffe. The museum also features a wide selection of decorative pieces in its expansive space. Visitors can expect to see a variety of modern and contemporary art alongside American crafts, including several paintings from the Hudson Valley school. Notable highlights include pieces by Picasso and Van Gogh, making it a highly recommended destination for art enthusiasts.
I cannot tell you the last time I was this entranced by an art museum. It is the perfect size to absorb in a visit, not overwhelming or complicated. Well-curated with regularly rotating special exhibits. They also host special events every 1st Thursday of the month from 5-8pm where admission is free and they have a speaker come talk. There is also a very tasty cafe in the middle of the museum. Cannot recommend this place enough!
Blair B — Google review
I've been to museums all over the world from the Getty to the Met to the Louvre, and from free parking to congenial ticketing to the cafe and galleries, the Currier is in my top favorites. It's such a cool space and history of how the museum came to be. Mix of modern and classic. The cafe has maybe 75' high ceilings, very airy, fantastic coffee and food menu. Thanks to the Curriers for making it possible! The tour of two Frank Lloyd Wright houses was well organized, informative enough to have felt like a true lecture, and very convivial with the guides and guests. Totally worth a drive specifically to the Currier for the museum and home tours (which you can check the ticket availability online. Museum entrance is currently included in the house tour ticket price.)
Susie W — Google review
I try and immerse myself in as many art museums as I can. While I am not a fan of modern art, I found that this collection was a great blend of combining different aspects of art, and they have a great amount of space, and their staff was pretty great too. I can’t wait to go back. And the lavender lemonade at the cafe was pretty great. ❤️

Staff and volunteers are fantastic! The museum has a few pieces from Masters, which are worth visiting. I'd never gotten the appeal of Picasso from pictures of his work. The real thing is totally different. But this collection has a fantastic depth for a small museum. Lots of paintings, and there's sculpture, glasswork, a handful of stunning cabinets and a gallery of modern pieces that are fascinating. Easy parking, reasonable entry fees and benches all over make this a comfortable visit, too. Staff and volunteers were lovely balancing letting folk absorb and giving information. Love the gallery of staff favorites!

An excellent mid-sized museum. Large collections ranging from ancient to modern. Wonderful gallery space and the cafe’s food was great. I am beyond impressed by their not 1 but 2 excellent Frank Lloyd Wright Usonian homes available for tours. Both are in remarkably good condition. We went way way out of our way to see this museum and it was so very worth it.

Lull Farm

Farm
Sights & Landmarks
Lull is everything you want it to be, and more. Hands down, the town off Hollis' favorite farmstand turned friendly small town market. A fine mix of home grown fruits and veggies sold next to other local farms selection fresh produce as well hand-made crafts. I cannot confirm this, but Lull has the largest selection of homegrown tomatoes and some of the best looking heirlooms I have had the pleasure of enjoying. As well, some of the largest homegrown squash I've ever seen! Outside, they have a vast selection of potted flora alongside various herbs and veggies. Cant forget to mention, during the summer months, if you're lucky enough to catch a few of their employeed Jamaicans running a big ol' jerk chicken BBQ shack filling the air with mouth watering aromatics. Bring the kiddos as they have your quintessential line-up of farm animals waiting to be pet and loved. For the past few years, I have been on a hunt for watermelons WITH SEEDS! No luck, until I visited today and to my delight; GIGANTIC SEEDED WATERMELONS! Put the one I purchased on the scale when I got home and this puppy clocked in just shy of 40 POUNDS! Friendly and knowledgeable staff readily available to answer any questions or help lugging a giant watermelon or squash to the car. Check it out and you'll keep coming back. Tell em "Johnny sent me!" To receive a weird face and someone saying "Who the heck is Johnny?" 10/10

Amazing flowers, hanging baskets, plants. Produce I've never even heard of before, plus all the classics. Amazing breads and bakery, including pastries. Local maple and honey items and unique small batch products. Even their own oils and vinegars with refillable bottles.

New England is a wonderful place to visit in the autumn. If you are driving through Southern New Hampshire, take some time to visit Lull Farm at 65 Broad St, in Hollis, NH (off of Route 3, Exit 6). I stopped by the other day to purchase their sweet corn, which is delicious, as well as a bag of Macintosh apples, which I will use to make apple crisp. Pick your own apples, grab a cornstalk, some colorful mums; they have a wide variety of items, indoors and out. Inside the store, you may wish to spend a minute or two checking out their baked goods, maple syrup, vegetables, meat, cheeses, snacks, flowers, and other specialty items. On Halloween, the personnel at Lull Farm, lights up a multitude of pumpkins that they have carved; it’s always a treat to stop by and see rows of carved Jack-‘o-lanterns, glowing in the dark. After Thanksgiving, check out their Christmas trees, wreaths, garland, and other holiday decorations and treats. The parking lot may be packed on weekends, but generally a space opens up pretty quickly. Look no further than Lull farm for a fun outing this fall.

I LOVE this place! I’m here twice a year! A wonderful orchard, with a cute little store that has so many items I can’t find at home. And a FABULOUS Caribbean BBQ Stand outside. I ALWAYS order a whole Jerk Chicken to take home every trip. Their Curry Goat and Coconut Shrimp is fantastic!! Will always make a stop here whenever I visit.

We absolutely love going to this farm. Great fresh fruits and vegetables as well as delicious homemade goodies. A family favorite is the ham and cheese croissant, when we can get our hands on them. We are never disappointed going there and always leave with more than we plan on getting. Definitely worth the trip!

I have never had a bad experience at Lull. I feel like the selections they offer are well chosen, bakery items are on point, fresh produce is excellent quality, and the staff are wonderful. The addition of the jerk chicken booth in the summer is nothing short of exceptional! We enjoy our experiences year round and are so fortunate that they are a local establishment for us!

Animals, including service animals ARE NOT ALLOWED. Dispite what their website, signs at the farm and what google says; they are turned away. I saw online that Lull Farm accepts dogs, so I drove there with my service animal. (A 11lb, well behaved, trained Yorkie.) There was a sign that said "Accepts Service Animals", so I drove to the orchard stand. I didn't get 3ft out of my vehicle and was met with a YELL from across the entire parking area. "MA'AM YOU CANNOT BRING THAT HERE!! "NO ANIMALS ALLOWED!!" She didn't even let me approach her, to speak about my needs and what my service animal was needed for. I politely said, FROM MY CAR, "Thank you for telling me that, Miss." Don't waste your time going to this location, with or without a service animal. The old lady, short white hair, short and stout in the orchard is mean and disrespectful. There's PLENTY of other farms in NH that can use business, that won't YELL at you from 20ft away in front of families.

Stylish fashion designer brand whose products include clothing, accessories, fragrances & more.
Kiana was more than helpful when I went to this location in Merrimack. Couldn’t find the shoes I was looking for I ended up leaving sad and as I walked by a couple hours later, she actually chased me down and had looked for and found the shoes that I really wanted. Super impressed highly recommend. 🙌🔥❤️

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

Massabesic Lake is a great place to relax and enjoy nature for a little while. The lake provides a nice view. There are picnic tables if you wish to bring your lunch, benches for relaxing and viewing the lake, and wooded trails for taking a leisurely walk. A reasonable amount of parking is provided and the park is well maintained.

I really enjoyed this location. I did pass a few people along the way, but not too many. I'm from Massachusetts and I'm glad I took the time to visit this lake after getting a Black Friday deal. Found it on the app AllTrails. The lake is very quiet, not populated much and the beaches around it are uniquely rocky. The hike I took was about 2 miles and was flat the entire way. I highly recommend this beautiful place!

Just a beautiful lake, park, picnic and beach area (but no swimming that I'm aware of). Rail trail on one side, bikes allowed. Forest trails on the other side, with great views of the lake at the end (no bikes allowed on that side - NH Audubon Massabesic Center trails), but you can night hike there, which was very fun. We went to the Audubon trails at night and got these shots with night mode on my Samsung s20.

Mine Falls Park is a vast, natural oasis situated along the riverfront. The park features an abundance of forest trails, outdoor activities, and sports fields. Visitors can enjoy fishing along the river and observe various wildlife such as birds and fish. There are porta potties and trash cans available at the entrance for convenience. In addition to the recreational opportunities, there is also a municipal park with a recreation field located within Mine Falls Park.
This is the second time I've been here and tried different paths, both times such a great place to enjoy nature. We actually spent almost 2 hours walking trails and could have spent so much time exploring more. If you are looking for an enjoyable time exploring nature, this is a must visit.

Great park! Its very well kept and the views are very serene and pretty. My husband and I did some fishing, spent a whole morning walking and fishing. Everyone was super friendly as we walked along which was nice. Trees were gorgeous, trails were well marked. Dog and kid friendly! There are some baseball fields but from what I understand you have to get a special permit to play on them. Either way, I grew up around baseball so I appreciate seeing the baseball field. Plenty of parking and bathroom is convinient

Beautiful trails for the area. There are many trailheads to access the trails within the park. A full loop is about 5 miles, but there are many options to customize the route to your needs. Most of the trails are level terrain, wide and easy to follow. There is one section (Purple trail I believe) that is paved. Highly recommend for all ages and ability levels.

Fruitlands Museum

Museum
Hiking area
Fruitlands Museum is a historical museum located in a farmland setting dating back to around 1914. The museum houses an array of Native American artifacts, Shaker documents, paintings and more. The rolling views of the area are stunning with Wachusett mountain visible in the distance. Visitors can enjoy the beautiful greens that stretch for miles and miles surrounding the museum. Guests can dine and dance under a tent while enjoying bright warm light with unobstructed views of the surrounding scenery.
Went here for a wedding. Really beautiful area, massive fan. Location is great staff is awesome. Reception area was really nice too, well laid out. Food was fantastic, really really good. Especially for wedding food. Didn't go to the museum itself or anything, so I unfortunately can't offer any feedback there They had PLENTY of parking. Huge grass field with cones. Huge bonus. Overall this was a fantastic wedding venue. However! The US flag was not lit at night, constituting a section 6a violation of the US flag code. (mostly kidding, but light your flags at night everybody)

I had the opportunity to DJ the Bromfield Junior and Senior Prom at the Fruitlands Museum—what an incredible venue! It was my first time there, and I was absolutely floored by the scenic views and natural beauty all around. I was set up in the tent, which was spacious, well-maintained, and perfect for a celebration. The staff were friendly and helpful before, during, and after the event. I truly hope to return and be part of another event at this amazing spot!
David G — Google review
My daughter and I really enjoyed our visit to Fruitlands Museum! We learned so much about the history of the area, from the Native American and Shaker communities to the fascinating story of the Alcott family and their transcendentalist experiment. The exhibits were engaging, educational, and thoughtfully presented. We’ll definitely be returning again. The museum was a special place to explore together.

Visited The Fruitlands on Saturday, October 11, 2025 for the 1 pm Raptor Demonstration. Henry Walters from NH Raptor Rehab showed us a Red- Tailed Hawk, a Gyrfalcon and a Harris Hawk. He was very knowledgeable and answered a lot of questions. He left other participants wear the heavy glove and the Harris Hawk flew onto it. It was fascinating! We also went to the Cafe and had awesome squash soap and a Little Leaf salad. Very enjoyable.

This is a very nice place to visit. The museums were pretty cool especially the native American exhibit. It would be nice to see more local native American stuff though. I liked the statue too but the scenery walking the trails were the best part and that's part is free. I highly recommend visiting here.
Dj B — Google review
I wish it had a different name and minus the rainbow flag. This is Christian history. Despite some eventual disception believing the leader was Christ, Shaker history is full of Holy Spirit-led shaking and dance. This is a great example of how God does not take back gifts He gave despite no repentance. It was also disappointing there is no video to watch them shake and dance. Check them out on youtube and then I guess you have to go to a nearby church like Crossroads to see and experience manifestations of the Holy Spirit.

Kimball Farm Westford

Mentioned on

Ice cream shop
Amusement center
Kimball Farm Westford is a beloved destination offering a variety of outdoor activities and delicious homemade ice cream. Visitors can enjoy mini-golf, bumper boats, and batting cages, making it an ideal spot for a day out with friends or family. The farm's rich history dates back to 1939 when it was founded as an ice cream stand in a converted dairy barn. Today, it has expanded to four locations across Massachusetts and New Hampshire.
Excellent place for family fun! There's fun for all ages, and the location is beautiful. The food is varied and affordable. The ice cream is delicious! You have to try it before leaving; you won't regret it. The key is to arrive early so you have time to do several things and not get caught waiting for each attraction. My family and I are already planning to return soon to do the rest of the activities we couldn't do on this visit.
Nathy K — Google review
We had such a good time with the family at this spot! The kids (age 4,6 and 16) enjoyed mini golf, batting cages, driving range, petting zoo, zip lining, bumper cars and bumper boats. It wasn’t super crowded and there weren’t any lines. I had a lobster roll for dinner that was fine and the kids had hot dogs and grilled cheese. We also had ice cream (of course) which was served in VERY GENEROUS portions. We will definitely go back when we’re in town again!

We had our team event here with Amazon Robotics and it was an absolute blast! Kimball Farm in Westford is the perfect spot for group outings – there’s so much to do, from mini golf and bumper boats to batting cages and driving range. The atmosphere is lively and fun, and the staff kept everything running smoothly for our group. Of course, the highlight was the legendary ice cream – huge portions and so many delicious flavors. The food options are great too, making it easy for everyone to enjoy. Overall, it’s a fantastic place for team events, family outings, or just a fun day with friends. Highly recommend!

Place is really great in regards to style and things to do. The Mini Golf courses are incredible and are probably the best in all of New England in my view. The only issue is it's so busy. There are hundreds of people and would be so much more enjoyable if it wasn't mobbed . The parking lots are packed, the ice cream lines are 50 feet back , and the driving range was packed full on a Saturday night in August. Beautiful at night.

I have been to the Lancaster location, but this location has way more activities. There's mini golf, a driving range, batting cages, bumper boats, and more. The country store is open late. The ice cream is delicious, but the sizes are weird. You can only get two flavors in a large. Definitely a fun summer spot.

I was so excited to go get some ice cream last Monday . This place was so full ,there was no stop cars come in and go out . I walking around a littler bit going to the stores and getting some gifts , littler too expensive but it worth it . Then we go get ice cream and I chose strawberry and chocolate , hubby got pistachio. And this girl filled his ice cream so much . But ice cream was absolutely delicious and so refreshing, I need to go back there before summer ends. The line for get ice cream was not too long cuz they have a lot of window services so we didn’t had to wait that long . I love it 🥰

Such a fun place. They sell ice cream, delicious fried seafood, burgers, hot dogs, etc. and have different activities throughout the complex that you pay and wait for. Lines were really long on a Saturday, which is expected, but doesn’t let you do as much. Fried seafood platter is delicious, costs $50 or so. They don’t let you do any substitutions when ordering.

The Outlook at Nashoba Valley is a rustic lodge restaurant offering serene mountain views and a cozy ambiance.
The perfect place to learn to ski. Great small mountain, friendly staff and several bunny slope options. I wish I had signed up my kids in time for lessons - they sell out fast! But we have loved going there for 2 or 4-hour windows of skiing, and it’s so easy to get to / get skiing!

I had a great day tubing at Nashoba Valley tubing area. Staff was very helpful, and the weather was perfect. Plenty of lanes to go choose from going down the hill, and really well accommodated for big crowds. Pick out a tube, use the standing lift to get up the hill, and then pick a lane to fly down! Great fun for the whole family, definitely going back someday.

I’ve been here a lot and it’s not bad for a local small ski area but I would say it’s mostly just a mountain to learn to ski although it still is fun even for more experienced skiers. They don’t get quite the same amount of snow anymore naturally but they have good snow making abilities.

This complex used to have a great convenience store, a pharmacy, a bank, video store and a much better ice cream place that made ice cream cakes in addition to scoops. The pizza place has always been lame Greek style pizza with bad veggie subs. Now this building is filled with mostly quiet offices with little activity. I hear the owner charges high rent prices which is probably why there is such a lack of decent business here. It's a real shame. Lots of potential.

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.
Paolo C — Google review
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.

America's Stonehenge

Mentioned on 
4 lists 
Historical place museum
Sights & Landmarks
America's Stonehenge is a 4,000-year-old site in New Hampshire that features an astronomical calendar, manmade chambers, and even alpacas. Visitors can take a 90-minute tour with a private guide device to explore the 32 attractions along an uneven and steep path. The site also offers a dig site where visitors can unearth gems and pottery. While the experience is intriguing for adults, it may be less engaging for toddlers due to the terrain.
Been wanting to check this out for so long and we finally did today. It was really great to download their App and go through the trail tour listening to the audio for each stop. Very well done & very interesting history. Fun to see the Alpacas too. This place is worth a visit!

It was an interesting historical location. Definitely NOT worth the $18 per person admission price. By their own accounts, the entire location has been damaged by quarry workers and a family living there in the 1800's.
Shane D — Google review
America’s Stonehenge is a unique and mysterious historical site located in Derry, NH. The site will leave with more questions than answers. After seeing the indoor museum, which consists of different artifacts from the historical site, you will take the nature trail outdoors and see the stone chambers, walls, and monoliths. An app is provided for a detailed tour of the site and there are also guided tours available. The walking here is easy to moderate. As you go along the path the sites are labeled and it is easy to find information about the significance of each piece of the site. When you get to walking the outer rock wall, some of the trail is a little hard to follow and could have better signage, but it’s not difficult. The trail ends when you reach Alpacas at the end. So what is so mysterious about this place? Since its discovery there have been all sorts of theories as to who built them. Some thought the Pattee family, who lived on the property in the 18 and 19th century, built them. But upon closer inspection evidence was found that the structures are thousands of years old. All sorts of theories are out there as to who built them including the Native Americans, Irish monks, Phoenicians, or Gaelic peoples. Perhaps, it’s a combination of all of these or others who knows? Some of the more interesting structures include the “Watch House.” It appears as a stone chamber, but on the equinoxes the large quartzite stone in the interior is illuminated. The Oracle Chamber is another structure with interesting features and a pre-colonial background. On the “Astronomical Trail” there are many stones that are solar aligned. Of these the “Summer Solstice Stone” is the most interesting because it not only aligns with the Summer Solstice sunrise, but is also aligned with Stonehenge in England. It’s not often that you can tour a unique archaeological and historical site such as this. Take the tour and see what you think. It's better to buy tickets online because it saves money. It’s an interesting and memorable place to visit.

Interesting place to explore for young and old, especially the Polinator Garden. I was particularly taken with the Lemon Basil there, one herb that I sorely missed from home... The site itself might be boring for young children, though. Overall, well worth a visit.

This place was very cool. Great hike, cool things to see, a butterfly garden and blue bird area. Loved talking to the gentleman who was at the front counter. Looks like it has snow shoe rentals for winter also.

Absolutely worth the visit! I truly appreciate the staff, effort, and incredible work they have all put into the whole site. I asked a single question and ended up talking with Dr. Dennis Stone for over two hours! I learned so much! Shared memories and amazing stories and learned so many cool and interesting facts. Talk about a truly special memory that I will cherish for the rest of my life. The whole site is amazing and magical! So many serpentine walls, lookouts to all four corners of the compass, and then some. Felt so much peace and calm while being able to see the setting sun on the first day of November. Truly learned and felt the land around me as I walked quietly and with an open mind.

It's an interesting archaeological site. I do think the "sacrificial table" is a bit of a stretch, could have been used to press any kind of juice. But it's a nice nature walk, guided with an informative map as you go. Cool artifacts inside the visitors center. I do think calling it "America's Stonehenge" is a bit silly - it deserves its own identity.
Chloe R — Google review
A nice stop 🛑 on a long drive. Rich in history that you can feel when you walk the well established trails. Nice visitor center with detailed artifacts and stories and a great video explanation to start off the adventure. Highly recommend for kids as they have a "dig for artifacts" activity and plenty of room to explore. Also, a cool little alpaca area! Who woulda thought?

Art gallery
The Addison Gallery of American Art is a small yet impressive museum located in Andover that showcases a diverse collection of American artworks spanning from the 18th century to present day. Visitors can expect to see rotating exhibits featuring famous artists such as Pollock, Ansel Adams, and Marie Cassatt, among others. The museum also boasts a permanent exhibit of model ships and offers activity packs for young children.
It's free. The displays are amazing. There's a large exhibit of June Leaf that's just. She apparently worked in many different media. I'm posting a Winslow Homer and Five other pictures too.

Eniola T — Google review
We saw the "Robert Frank and Todd Webb: Across America, 1955" and "A Long Arc, Photography and the American South since 1845" exhibits. The latter was the better of the two. It is organized historically, so you see a very interesting chronological retrospective on the complicated and not necessarily pretty history of the South. The photographs are almost universally spectacular. Spoiler alert, the exhibit emphasizes the negative, of which of course there is a lot. It would have been nice to see more emphasis on the majority of the lives of ordinary people in the South; i.e., when they were not oppressing or being oppressed.... But, all in all, well worth the time. The Frank and Webb exhibit is a lot more frustrating. First, while the photographs are very interesting (you certainly have seen quite a few Frank's, a couple of examples below), a number of them did not seem to have been digitized and printed in a particularly professional manner. More frustratingly, the commentary is resolutely, gratuitously, and in many cases condescendingly focused through the prism of today's identitarian sensibilities on everything that supposedly is awful about America. I suppose that is what one must expect these days from curators at museums that want to be taken seriously by their similarly minded peers. But it gets really tedious, and in many cases is neither justified by the picture nor, it appears, whatever it is Frank or Webb said was going on when they took the pictures. Instead, it reflects what the curators think should be said today about the picture. As only one example, I have attached one picture and its commentary.

This museum is a hidden gem in Andover! It is completely fee, to boot! It is small enough to digest in a couple of hours. The exhibits change regularly, so it never gets old. Artists include Pollock, Ansel Adams, Marie Cassatt, etc. There is a permanent exhibit of model ships. They have activity packs for small children. The workers are extremely kind and clearly love the museum. Parking is free and plentiful.

Add this to your museum list when you're next in Boston. It's a lovely drive to Andover. The museum is a real treat. The temporary exhibits are well thought out and beautifully curated. The permanent collection is noteworthy. I enjoyed the small focus gallery of works by Singer Sargeant. And ... don't forget the gift shop.

This restored circa-1926 venue offers musical, comedy & dramatic performances plus classes.
We went to see a taste of Ireland very recently in this charming little theater. Charming good old fashioned theater that took me back to when I was a child. The freshly refurbished murals painted all around lended to the cabaret feel. The seats were very comfortable though not very wide. Handicapped accessibility is awesome here. Concession costs were quite reasonable, And the staff was wonderful! They really seem to be enjoying their work! Of course the entertainment was brilliant and the whole performance was relaxing and yet invigorating.

Went to see the Tribute ELO Show not the cover band with my wife on Nov1st. If you closed your eyes you would say you were at the real show and not exaggerating!! Incredible show and evening ! Everything is so convenient. Free parking you can almost throw a rock and hit it your so close to the Stadium and the restaurant where we ate. We ate at Ciro’s Tavern. Had a Medieval theme and a very different atmosphere. A lot of people going to the show and we had a good time there and we met a lot of nice people. The food is Not Your Mother’s Cooking but good enough since it’s right there. We walked to the theatre it’s so close. Beautiful Theatre every seat is excellent. Nice little cocktail setup with beer, wine, etc. The staff is very nice and they make excellent drinks both rounds ! We walked into the theatre and the show was starting in 5 minutes. We could not believe the sound system in there ! Perfect sound !! The bass was great , the lead singer and everyone else was crystal clear. Now the band. Never heard any band duplicate the songs they were playing to the tee and you know ELO has so many instruments and sounds combining in each song. It is just amazing ! The only bad thing is they ruined us seeing another tribute or cover band because no band will ever come close to what we saw and heard that night ! I guess that’s the results you get when you have been doing it for over 10 years together ! See you March 7th in the Norwood Theatre. I hope they have a sound system like the Stadium or we will be disappointed !

St Ann Arts & Cultural Center in Woonsocket is a hidden gem featuring the largest collection of fresco paintings in North America. The former Church of St. Ann now serves as a vibrant arts and cultural center, reminiscent of the Sistine Chapel in the Blackstone River Valley. Visitors can enjoy guided tours on Sundays and keep an eye on their website for upcoming events.
Worth a long drive for the tour. I love St Ann, I can't believe this is hidden in Rhode Island! They have amazing stained glass here and not a lot of people know about it. This place is called "America's Sistine Chapel" because there are the most amount of frescoes in North America
Ashley M — Google review
The Art contained in this former church is FANTASTIC! This is on par with anything I've seen in European churches. Today, we attended the spring breakfast called "breakfast with the saints". The crowd was nice, the food was delicious and, as mentioned, the artwork is fantastic. The all-volunteer staff are some of the best, nicest and hardest working people I have ever seen at this type of venue. Tours (40 minutes) are offered on Sunday afternoons.

Beautiful venue full of frescoes! Get a taste of Europe right in New England. The former church now turned museum is open for tours on Sundays from 1 to 4 PM. It is staffed by expert volunteers who bring the place to life. The exquisite venue is also available for events such as weddings. Great place to visit!

This is one of the most unique and beautiful churches in America! The pastel colored frescoes are like nothing else I've seen. Amazing marble and stained glass too. The tour guides are incredibly good too. Very knowledgeable, funny, and they give a very fun tour for only 15 bucks cash Sundays 1-4 (lower for kids and seniors and the money helps preserve the church). Highly recommend visiting!
Chris J — Google review
This was incredible! The tour was very insightful, so we learned about the background behind the artwork, such as local people being used as models for the frescoes. It is a shame that more people were not on the tour. It is truly a hidden treasure in Rhode Island.

My husband and I showed up around 6pm on a Friday night - we are not from the area, and we were passing through and we wanted to see if we could grab a quick tour. They were kind enough to take time out of their night to allow us inside to take pictures and get a mini tour (as it was not the day/time for the normal tours). These individuals are wonderful people, so kind, and they are doing so much to keep this beautiful place open and maintained. More people need to know about this place, and make donations! This is hands down one of the most incredible places I have ever seen. The history is incredible, the architecture, the stained glass - it’s all so beautiful! I hope this place gets the recognition it truly deserves!
Briana V — Google review
"The Sistine Chapel of America" is a magnificent church with beautiful stained glass windows, Carrara marble and a multitude of frescoes covering the walls, vaults and ceiling. The church was commissioned in 1913. In the 1920's, over 40 stained glass windows from Chartres, designed and produced by French artists, were installed. In the 1940s, an Italian artist from Padua, Guido Nincheri, used 475 members of the parish and community as models to create the largest collection of fresco paintings in North America. Nincheri slaved away for eight years, painstakingly painting directly onto wet plaster, following in the footsteps of Michelangelo. In 2000, when the Diocese closed and sold the Church, a group of volunteers and former parishioners came together to rescue the beloved church from demolition. They created the St. Ann Arts and Cultural Center to preserve its historical and artistic value. I cannot imagine how anyone could ever consider destroying such an incredible masterpiece. I am so glad I finally had the opportunity to tour it and marvel at its magnificence.

Played outdoor soccer here for one session. The on-site bar is good, but the fields are a bit of a mess. Seams in the turf are everywhere, and the lines are tough to see. It seems like the Seacoast organization also has their less experienced referees working here, too. If you want to play outdoor soccer in a Seacoast league, I'd recommend their Epping location instead.

Maudslay State Park

State park
Nature & Parks
Nestled just outside Newburyport, Maudslay State Park is a hidden gem for nature enthusiasts and history buffs alike. This expansive park, once an estate, boasts a stunning array of floral diversity and towering trees, including one of Massachusetts' largest stands of mountain laurel. Visitors can meander through miles of winding trails and carriage roads that lead to picturesque gardens and the remnants of historic stone structures.
We visited on Saturday, August 31, and found parking easily (paid lot). This park has become one of my favorites. It’s clean, stunning, and well-maintained, with the added benefit of requiring dogs to be leashed, which we really appreciate since our puppies don’t get along with other dogs. We took a bit of a risk and made our way to the shore—definitely be careful, as a slip could be dangerous—but it was worth it to sit by the water. I highly recommend this park! Bathrooms are available at the parking lot and were clean.

Maudslay State Park is a hidden gem for nature lovers. The park's expansive trails wind through lush woodlands, offering breathtaking views of the Merrimack River. Wildlife enthusiasts will be thrilled by the abundance of birds, hawks, and deer. The park's meadows are home to a variety of wildflowers, making it a haven for photographers. In the spring, the blooming rhododendrons and azaleas are a must-see. Whether you're hiking, picnicking, or just taking in the serene environment, Maudslay is the perfect escape into nature.

Beautiful forested park, restrooms, picnic tables, easy walking, lots of trail options (many are marked; see photo), incredible rhododendrons, dog-friendly. Set next to the Merrimack River, with other water features inside the park. People ride their horses there. Driving: Be careful of Google Maps -- its GPS will tell you to turn into the rock wall or pedestrian path across of the parking lot. Parking: $5 ($20 non-Mass.), but free with a Mass. Senior Parking Pass ($10 for 62+ age, good for life).

Gorgeous large estate turned state park. Many trails to explore and experience various types of plants and wildlife. We saw rhododendrons that were at least 25’ tall!! So many buildings and gardens it kept us busy for 2 hours and we didn’t see half of the park. We saw some interesting buildings that we didn’t know what they were used for so that was fun to guess!! Definitely going back in the near future!
Allison M — Google review
There is a parking lot on site. Parking is $5/day or $60/season right now. Dogs on leash allowed. You have so many options for trails from the trail head. There is a map at the start of the trail head. I have seen dogs off leash, but most people seems to keep their dogs leashed. You will find people on bikes, or on foot. Really nicely taken care of. Worth coming back for to explore.

We did 5.25 miles in 2 hours and 15 minutes. A great trail, well maintained and wide but could be marked better. Lots of dog walkers. We saw two deer about 30' from us. We also saw a red squirrel, a chipmunk and a snake swimming in the pond. It was a nice breezy day with no bugs. Make sure to see the tree lined road, gardens, fountain and pet cemetery. Watch out for horse poop and dog poop bags. A nice view of the Merrimack River on top of the hill. The only downside is $5 to park for MA residents and $20 for out of state residents, however there are bathrooms in the parking area.

Harvard Square, home to the oldest university in America, is a vibrant area filled with shops, eateries, and theaters. The iconic square has undergone changes over the years but still retains its charm. Visitors can enjoy a leisurely stroll around Harvard Yard and indulge in delicious treats at quirky cafes like Koko Bakery. Throughout the year, various festivals and events take place, offering entertainment for locals and tourists alike.
Harvard Square offers a perfect blend of upscale charm and historical character. I really enjoyed the variety here — on one side, you have posh boutiques and high-end shops that feel polished and modern. But just a short walk away, the vibe shifts to something more local and authentic, with independent bookstores, quirky shops, and small restaurants that feel rooted in history. The atmosphere had that unmistakable college-town energy paired with classic New England architecture. The old brick buildings and narrow streets give it a timeless feel, while the buzz of students, locals and tourists keeps it feeling lively and fresh.

⭐⭐⭐⭐✨ Harvard Square: A Lively Hub of Charm & Intellect! 📚☕ bustling! It's a must-visit for anyone in the Boston area looking for a unique and lively experience! ✨ Harvard Square is truly a fantastic place to explore, and I usually have an amazing time whenever I visit!

I absolutely love browsing the unique bookstores 📖, grabbing a coffee at one of the many cozy cafes ☕, and just people-watching. The mix of students, locals, and tourists creates a really dynamic atmosphere. Plus, the variety of shops and restaurants means there's always something new to discover, whether you're looking for a quick bite or a nice dinner. 🛍️🍽️ It's almost perfect, but sometimes it can get really crowded, especially on weekends, which can make navigating a bit tricky. Parking can also be a challenge if you're driving. 🚗💨 But honestly, those are minor points when you consider all the charm and excitement Harvard Square offers.

This place is a lively and welcoming place in Cambridge, right next to Harvard University. It is often the first stop for visitors who want to explore the campus and enjoy the atmosphere of student life. In the center of the square, you will find the Harvard stop of the Red Line subway, which makes it very convenient to reach from Boston. In the afternoon, the square feels relaxed and full of energy. People sit at the Smith Center to read books or play chess, while others shop at the Harvard Coop bookstore. The area is always busy but not overwhelming, with a nice balance of students, locals, and tourists. If you arrive in the morning, you can see student guides standing at the entrance of the subway station. They offer walking tours of Harvard, sharing interesting stories and history about the university. These tours are a good way to learn about the school while enjoying a friendly conversation with current students. Harvard Square also has many cafés, restaurants, and small shops. You can stop for coffee, try different kinds of food, or buy souvenirs with the Harvard name. The mix of old brick buildings and new modern spaces makes the square look charming and unique.

Today we returned to Harvard for the college admissions info sessions and tour. For context, my husband went to grad school and I worked there back in the late 1990s so it holds a special place in our hearts. The campus is so peaceful and charming, and we loved learning more specifically about Harvard College. Highly recommend giving Harvard Yard a visit, even if just for learning about its history and enjoying its beautiful campus! We also paid a visit to the Harvard Art Museum and took a tour of the Munch exhibit (which leaves toward the end of July), which we also enjoyed.

The Patriots Hall of Fame

Mentioned on 
8 lists 
Museum
Shopping
The Patriots Hall of Fame is a technology-rich museum located at Patriots Place, dedicated to showcasing the history and memorabilia of the New England Patriots. Even if you're not a die-hard Pats fan, you can't help but be captivated by the legacy of the Brady-Belichick era, widely regarded as one of the greatest dynasties in professional sports.
3rd visit today—every time is phenomenal. The Brady Statue exhibit was incredible, and I really hope it becomes a permanent fixture at the Museum. It absolutely deserves a home here. It actually got me thinking: we should also have an exhibit dedicated to our Super Bowl losses. As painful as they are, they’re a huge part of our history. Everyone remembers the Eagles loss and those two brutal heartbreakers against the Giants. I’ll never forget the Patriots-Packers Super Bowl in ’96—that was the first Pats game I clearly remember watching as a kid. And to this day, I feel like we don’t talk enough about our very first Super Bowl appearance against the Bears. Those AFC Champions paved the way. Even looking back at Brady’s 2006 AFC Championship loss to Manning—up 21–3 at the half before the comeback—that game was historic in its own right. Or the dominant 2007 Brady/Moss team that steamrolled the league. Wins or losses, these teams helped define the franchise. What’s wild is how similar this 2025 team feels to the 2007 squad—minus the explosive scoring (for now!). But the excitement is there. Brady’s teams used to win by a thousand papercuts; this new Vrabel era brings a totally different, refreshing style of gameplay. Honestly, those early teams—including that first Super Bowl run against the Bears—deserve recognition too. That was our first big stage moment, and it should be honored. Phenomenal visit. Can’t wait to come back again. Def pay the extra $5 to visit the Lighthouse tower when you’re here. It’s not available on game day but otherwise spectacular views of our stadium!

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

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

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

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

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!

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

Sights & Landmarks
Fenway Park is a historic and intimate ballpark located in Boston, known as the home of the Red Sox and a venue for big-name concerts. It holds a significant place in Boston's built environment, alongside landmarks like Faneuil Hall and the Freedom Trail. The stadium offers behind-the-scenes tours during the off-season and hosts a popular summer concert series.
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!
Hugo B — Google review
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!
Ashley F — Google review
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.

Very unique museum! I'm very glad I left the toddler at home - definitely only for kids who will absolutely not touch, as many works of art are not protected. The cafe makes for a nice little break in the day. The prices were $20/plate but it was delicious. We spent maybe 2.5 hrs total including lunch.

I have wanted to visit for years and I finally got my chance. What a wonderful museum. I truly enjoyed that it was organized the way she wanted and that won't change. I found it refreshing that there weren't descriptions posted on everything because I'd recently felt that, for me personally, I was spending more time reading and less time observing. The courtyard is delightful and unifies the whole museum, the floral design was beautiful. Thank you to all the helpful staff as well. I'm looking forward to my next visit
Lisa S — Google review
A really fun art collection housed in a beautiful building! Each room has its own theme and pieces are grouped how Isabella Stewart Gardner originally arranged them. There are only a few information signs, mostly explaining the rooms theme. If you want specific information about pieces there are QR codes to access audio guides. The garden is a highlight that you can see from multiple vantage points on each floor. We visited at 12 on a Saturday and it was very busy, with the blue and yellow rooms on the first floor having lines to get in. We spent about 2 hours and got to see every room. Definitely a great visit, but next time we’ll try a weekday for less crowds.

Amazing I’ve been dying to come to this museum for 5 years now and finally I was able to see it. The collection is extensive and gorgeous. The garden transports you to a calm and serene place. I spent about 30 minutes looking out into it and admiring it before continuing with the rest of the museum
Paola F — Google review
Fascinating museum, with lots of unexpected, beautiful, rare works in all corners of the museum. It is a spectacular building, with a beautiful courtyard that is worth seeing yourself. I went around with the audio guide in my ear which really gave me things to think about and focus my attention. There isn't a lot of plaques of information, which are by design so for me the audio guide really helped me see things, and take the time to appreciate when you are constantly looking everywhere at everything. "The more you look, the more you see". Was well worth the time and experience!

Visited on a weekday with my child and had a great experience exploring the Isabella Stewart Gardner Museum. The museum has three floors filled with a variety of art objects, each room curated with its own unique theme. Many rooms feature beautiful and rare religious artifacts. Even on a weekday, it was quite crowded, so moving through some areas took time. Timed-entry tickets are required, so it’s best to reserve in advance. The courtyard garden is stunning, with blooming flowers creating a peaceful and colorful atmosphere. Overall, it was a good visit and worth the trip.
Rose D — Google review
This was by far one of the coolest collections of art from around the world. I have never visited such a well thought out installation. The walk through was a feast for the eyes! Each room was better than the last and the interior garden was breathtaking!
Michelle B — Google review
Stunning. The amount of pieces of art, the variety of her collection, statues , tapestries and the history alone from the 1990 robbery makes this place worth the visit. The garden is breathtaking and the building is so beautifully built with marble staircase and the multiple rooms, one leading into the next - all three floors giving you so much to see! And they're now trying to uncover more art from the ceiling! There is even a whole section dedicated to the works of Allan Crite! General admission was about $22. Most definitely worth it! I recommend watching the Netflix series about the Isabella Stewart Gardner Museum called: "This Is a Robbery: The World's Biggest Art Heist", a documentary about the 1990 art theft. The series explores the unsolved case of how two men stole over $500 million worth of art, including works by Rembrandt and Vermeer, which have never been recovered.

The Museum of Fine Arts, Boston is a leading art museum with neoclassical and modern wings that showcase a vast collection ranging from ancient Egyptian artifacts to contemporary American works. The museum features the Fenway Exhibition, "Hokusai: Inspiration and Influence," which pays homage to the iconic 19th-century painter and printmaker Katsushika Hokusai.
I recently visited the Museum of Fine Arts in Boston, and it was an outstanding experience. The museum's collection is vast and beautifully curated, ranging from ancient Egyptian artifacts to contemporary art. One of the highlights was the impressive collection of Impressionist paintings, featuring works by Monet, Degas, and Renoir. The layout of the museum makes it easy to navigate, with clear signage and plenty of space to enjoy each exhibit without feeling crowded. The staff were knowledgeable and friendly, always ready to provide insights or answer questions. I also appreciated the temporary exhibitions, which brought fresh perspectives and unique pieces to the museum. The on-site café and gift shop were excellent additions, offering a pleasant break during the visit. Overall, the Museum of Fine Arts in Boston is a must-see for anyone interested in art and culture. I would highly recommend setting aside a few hours to truly enjoy everything it has to offer.

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

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

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!!
Parvinder S — Google review
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.

Samuel Adams Boston Brewery - Jamaica Plain

Samuel Adams Boston Brewery in Jamaica Plain is a well-known and historic brewery that offers tours, tastings, and a gift shop for both locals and visitors. The brewery provides fun tours during the day and evening, focusing on the city's popular brew/pub scene with visits to four different Boston breweries.
I can’t say enough good things about our tour. We did the behind the Brewhouse tour. Our guide was knowledgeable and personable. The beer we got to sample was amazing and it was cool to see behind the scenes. We stopped by the tap room after and the flight we got was great - the beer they serve here is exclusive to the brewery and it’s well worth the visit.

I am so glad I went back to this brewery which is right around the corner from where I live. They have really created such a nice venue. Loved the outdoor space with the fire pit and bar. The indoor space with the board games, the tables, bar plenty of seating it's really a great vibe. They have food! I liked the live music which was really enjoyable on Saturday afternoon. The staff is really friendly and welcoming. Oh and did I say you could bring your dog what a plus if you have one. The only downside was the chicken wings which are cooked outside on a grill and were delicious by the way, but we're not cooked all the way through. They may want to be more careful about this as you wouldn't want someone getting sick. Also love that they serve more than just beer. Can't wait to go back!

We did the Signature Tour and loved it. Good price... great tour guide... what's not to like. We got to sample three different beers, plus we paid a little extra to have bonus R&D beer. My wife and I appreciated the relaxed atmosphere and enjoyed being given the opportunity to chat to the group and ask questions. Nice shop and amazing bar as well. Bonus of getting a free tasting glass, too. Recommended.

It was on my list to visit and decided to do the Beyond the Brewhouse tasting experience and it was a bit disappointing. Yes it includes 3 beer samples and you get to see most of the brewing spaces but we did not get much history or information from how each beer we tasted was, what is new with the brewery or the background of the brewing process in detail. I was expecting a bit more knowledge like they do at most wineries but at least I got to see the place and try new beers!
Mel Z — Google review
Super great tour, we did the beyond the brewery one. Very knowledgeable staff, quiet tasting room to sit in before or after tour. We were about to get a flight and try some new beer they don’t sell other places. The outdoor area was really pretty, waaay too cold to sit out though. Excited to go back!

This brewery blew my mind. So many great-tasting beers on tap. Some you can't get anywhere else besides the actual brewery. I tried just about every beer they had on hand. Alexis was my beer tender and she was awesome. I was ecstatic they had the Derrick White Ale on tap as I'm a big Celtics fan and love the collaboration together. They had a nice shop to buy beers or merch to take home with you. They have a great indoor seating area as well as a nice outdoor area where you can sit your pup. They also serve food! Definitely one of my favorite spots ive been to in a while.

We lit a candle for my sister's upcoming surgery that was this Friday, 12/08. The people at the gift- shop were awesome and went out of their way to help me find that special little something! We all enjoyed this place so very much. We had such a wonderful fun time !!

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

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