Top 41 things to do and attractions in Springfield

Drove 3 hours to visit the Naismith Basketball Hall of Fame and it was totally worth it! Beautiful museum with so much to see and learn. Bonus: it was super quiet, felt like I had the place to myself. Die-hard basketball fan or not, it's a great experience!

We finally made it to the Basketball Hall of Fame today and honestly… 10/10, highly recommend if you’re even remotely a basketball person (or partnered with one 😂). Dog dad was basically living his best life, and I was out here pretending I understood stats while secretly loving every second of the memorabilia. The best part? They let you actually play on the courts. I fully shocked myself by scoring not once but TWICE, so please address me as “Future MVP” from now on. My legs are absolutely filing HR complaints tomorrow but worth it. It was fun, super interactive, and way cooler than I expected. If you’re looking for something different to do, go. Even if you’re not a hardcore fan, it’s such a unique experience. We’ll definitely be back! 🏀✨

Sure, check out this review: ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ A Slam Dunk of a Museum Experience! 🏀 Wow! I just visited the Naismith Memorial Basketball Hall of Fame and it was an absolute blast! From the moment I walked in, I was immersed in the incredible history of basketball. The exhibits are so well done, with interactive displays and amazing memorabilia that really bring the sport to life. I loved seeing all the jerseys, championship trophies, and learning about the legends who shaped the game. The interactive experiences are a highlight – I even got to test my shooting skills! Whether you're a lifelong basketball fanatic or just looking for a fun and engaging outing, this museum is a must-visit. It's truly an inspiring tribute to the game of basketball and James Naismith's vision. I left feeling energized and with a deeper appreciation for the sport. Don't miss it! You'll have a ball! 🎉

If you're evenly mildly interested in Basketball, this is an amazing spot to visit. So much memorabilia and history of the game, players, and coaches. So much time, love, and passion has been dedicated to curating the exhibits. The staff was super nice and helpful, and they made our experience memorable.

Amazing experience!! If you are a basketball fan you should definitely go! So much history!! And memorabilia! Also very well organized and clean. We went around noon on a Saturday and was not crowded at all. You get to end your experience by getting on the court and shooting some hoops! So cool!

My son loves basketball and saw videos about this place on the internet so we made the trip from Wisconsin. We arrived right at open and the court to ourselves for almost an hour! (It was October). The original peach basket is cool! The 2nd floor is packed with things like Shaqs shoes, the Kobi experience and booth where you can be recorded with Shaq, Charles Barkley and crew and have the video emailed to you. On the 3rd floor you can see how your hand size measures up to Curry and more and how your height and wingspan measure up to Giannis and more. We felt the prices were reasonable for the experiences you get in a 6 hour day. Food choices onsite are great (subway, cold stone creamery, and Max’s Tavern). I highly recommend going here is you like basketball, age doesn’t matter. The staff was also very helpful and you could tell they loved their jobs.

The Naismith Basketball Hall of Fame was truly an incredible experience to visit. The staff is friendly knowledgeable and professional. The exhibits are well done each curated with beautiful memorabilia and various interactive activities. I enjoyed seeing all the jerseys, championship trophies and learn more about the legends who shaped the game of basketball. 🏀🍀

One admission to the Springfield Museums gives accesses to five museums of art, history, science, and Dr. Seuss amazing world. Adults: $25 Seniors (60+): $16.50 College Students: $16.50 Youth 3-17: $13 Children Under 3: Free (I think it's free for Springfield Residents.) Great collections of arts and science. The statues in the garden are mostly from Dr. Seuss. Quite nice to walk around and absorb all the information. I wish I can spend 2 days in here to go through everything in detail.

Great group of museums. One price to see them all. The history museum is the best. Didnt know so many firsts came out of Springfield. Free parking. Clean bathrooms. Great gift shop. Very friendly security people at each museum.

This was an amazing place - many museums in one space. One ticket gets you into all of them. Here was so many colorful, cultural exhibits, I loved it.

This is the main museum among the five. The ticket counter and guest service desks are in this music. This museum is mainly about, evolution, dinosaurs, civilization, space, earth, and science. I loved the space section most. There was a robotic arm to play with to simulate the canadarm in ISS. There’s also simulate of the earth view window from ISS. Also loved the collection of human civilization, how humans spread all over the world starting from Africa. There’s also a big gift shop. Overall this museum is really great for both kids and adults.

We enjoyed the Van Gogh exhibit they have. Definitely worth the trip. The Dr. Seuss Sculpture Garden is amazing, as well as the indoor exhibits!

This is a wonderful campus of 5 separate museums including an enchanting outdoor Dr Suess sculpture garden! We visited on the 4th of July so the museums were closed and we now eagerly anticipate going back.

Had a great time with the faimly 5 or 6 hours to tour all that there, minus the planetarium we did not do.

The Springfield Armory NHS is small but well organized, making it easy to explore. There’s a lot of interesting history on old guns and a nice variety of exhibits. The rangers are friendly and helpful, and the gift shop and restrooms are convenient. I also appreciated the many brochures for New England parks. Being on the grounds of a community college was a bit strange. Overall, it’s a neat spot for a quick visit if you’re in the area.

Oh wow yall, awesome experience the displays were amazing, the building was gorgeous and the Rangers were awesome. They did such a good job helping to explain the history. Another awesome American National Site experience!

This is a great site of American history. There wouldn't be an America if it were not for this armory. Great displays and friendly, helpful staff. If you're a fan of guns, this is your destination. I don't want to gove anything away by posting too many photos. You have to see it all for yourself.

Wonderful, historic National Park with very friendly and helpful staff and it's FREE to park and visit. The history and contribution to the US economy and manufacturing in particular from revolutionary war thru the modern times was amazing. Well worth the visit!!

Incredible museum! A great stop to see the firearms that played an instrumental role in the creation and in maintaining the USA. There are also kids activities to keep those that might not be old enough to understand the museum occupied. Ps. If you are a "firearms enthusiast" you must go and revel in what is there.

Very nice historical place. The guides are very informative and easy to talk to. You need about three hours to do the entire thing. The community college shares the grounds.

Great sites with awesome rangers who really want to share the history. A perfect road trip stop. Great for kids, dads and grandads.

This is the biggest fair I have ever been to, we had such a great time here, not only are the grounds huge but the different building they have for CT, MA, VT, etc are just jam packed with so many gems. Endless amount of fun and food. The food can be a little pricey like any fair you go to, if you can go on the day they have the $3bites especially if one of your main reasons for going is sampling all the different food would save you quite a pretty penny. This was my first year going to the state fair so I learned that the ticket is just for admission which I probably could have found out from a little more research, you still have to pay for parking for the fair, any carnival rides you would like to go on and things like that. I was just so blown away by everything they had in one place. One of my favorite things was the exhibit they had of the baby chicks hatching in real time and being able to interact and hold them so much fun.

9/12/2025 My sister and i went here on a a Friday i believe it was the first day and it was still crowded but not overly crowded im sure on the weekends you cant even move lol. There was a lot of good places to eat, a lot of activities, petting zoo, you get to see the horses up close and personal, it was just an over all great experience.. Ive been to dallas texas state fair and i can say this was kinda similar even though not as large but it was still a great experience i plan to return next year. Oh FYI if you dont have medical or disability issues where you need to park near the entrance i would suggest parking on the outside theres good prices even though its a long walk from the entrance you wont be caught in exit traffic leave from the fair parking areas....

Most attractions/food stops don’t have shades. So be prepared for the sunlight and to walk around 4-6 hours to fully see everything. I highly recommend the Greek place where you can get a flat bread lamb wrap with a great sauce. I would personally park outside and walk 10-15 minutes.

A great experience, but it gets boring after a while. Wish there were more attractions instead of beer gardens. The food is crazy expensive but it’s not surprising with the prices the vendors pay to set up shop there. I’d rather pay a small amount for a smaller portion size because it’s a bit too much food for me at times. The food was good though if you knew where to look. Honorable mentions to NOLA’s sticky rib, the baked potato place next to the Connecticut house, the dirt and worms bucket cake from LuAnn’s Bakery, the hard cider infused pulled pork sandwich from the Samuel Adams beer garden, and the cinnamon donut bucket from The Donut Family.

Great fair with lots of tasty things to eat and plenty of entertainment for the whole family. The 4-H portion is excellent and educational. The midway is flashy and busy. The home-show has lots of new items each year. The avenue of state houses is fun, but can be crowded and busy. The fairground is overrun with people drinking alcohol and I would like to see much less of that.

It was the usual experience asI’ve been every year since I was born. The food was extremely expensive. It was $81 for three mediocre lobster rolls. The 3 minute carousel for my four-year-old took 30 tickets which are a dollar apiece… The parking was $20-$40 to park over a mile away. There was nothing outstanding this year. I was interested in seeing ZZ Top but upon going on the website, it was $500 a ticket to sit in the way back… Unfortunately, not worth it. Sorry ZZ. My son had fun that’s all that matters but we probably spent close to $400 that day and we came home with nothing. My son loved the big yellow slide and luckily we bought four tickets at once because I had a feeling he’d like it and wanna go again. He probably could’ve done the yellow slide all day. That was definitely the highlight.

I love the Big E, and I do go every year. There is something for everyone, from vendors selling local products, to local places talking about upcoming events(visit Southwick’s zoo inside the better living center 😉), to mattresses, to carnival rides, to concerts(both free and ticketed), horse shows, petting zoos, baby animal, Clydesdales horses, state buildings, and of course the food! You can easily spend a day or two or more here. Why do I say 4 stars verses 5? I’ve gone many many years now and spent a lot of money here- I would love to see the vendors make more money, and more people come, and I think it the cost to get in for tickets was less or eliminated, it would allow just that to happen. I vote Big E for all! ❤️ oh! And the conneticut building Danny’s baked potato reigns victorious! Trust a foodie.

This is one of the 5 museums included within tickets of Springfield Museums. It is very designed for kids, lots of colors, arts, decor, legos, pretend play. On lower level, they have creative activities for kids. On second floor, there’s more history on the real life Dr. Seuss. Our 5yo spent about 1.5 hours here. Few associates are around to tidy up things and help guests. Restrooms are very well maintained.

The Amazing World of Dr. Seuss Museum is definitely one of highlights for Springfield MA. First floor has statues everywhere for pictures. Interactive activities for all ages. Many kids refused to leave at the end of day. 2nd floor has historical items on display. Replicated work space, letters and small theater. It one of the five Springfield museums. 1 ticket for 5 museum $25. It’s a great price. You can spend whole day here. You can go in as many times as you want within one day.

Not worth the money unless you have time for the other museums as well. Very pricey just for the one. Kids had fun. Two stars off due to the security/staff - twice felt that one of the male staff was a bit too harsh. Once when it was just my young toddler playing with legos and she couldn't reach the bin they have in the middle of the table so I took it out for her. He came over to clean around her and told me the bin had to be put back (he didnt mean when she was done)....while she was still playing. Second when my preschooler was excitedly starting to run (dad was with him) and he had to tell him to stop running (in a rude manner) when again, we were there and obviously weren't going to let him continue to be unsafe. For a kid friendly place, the staff seem to need a bit more knowledge on how to interact with young kids and families.

It was very good, thankful we have EBT/snap benefits to help with the price. Definitely need plenty of time to see all 5 museums that are included in the ticket cost.

Museum was a blast. Who doesn’t like Dr Seuss?? No waiting. Great picture spot for the family to make memories.

A really great tribute to Dr. Seuss and his many books and life. Interesting for adults and interactive for kids.

This museum and gardens has been on my bucket list for a while. It did not disappoint. Museum was great for this retired teacher and Seuss fan. Lots of activities for children. Seuss fun characters were adorable. Dr. Seuss family history try and personal work space just topped it off!

Mei-Ann Chen and the Springfield Symphony shine bright tonight sharing fantastic music by Italian composers. The night started with an Italian feast sponsored by Frigos. The Symphony also shared the stage with several members of the Jr. Symphony whose talent is amazing. Happy to be a supporter of the Springfield Symphony, hope others will join to enjoy this fantastic gift to Springfield.

This is a GREAT place to watch AMAZING orchestras! There is not alot of leg room between chairs but other than that it is a great place!

We went for an educational program geared towards school children. The director was fantastic introducing each section of the instruments and the musicians were phenomenal. Highly recommend going to see and hear their orchestra.

I love ❤️ this symphony ! Full of heart 💜 and talent and the hall is gorgeous. First chair violin made me weep tonight- beautiful 😻! I love 💕 the humor and low key attitude …. Keep it up 👍

I loved the sound in the auditorium. Crisp sounds and vibrant harmonies lay in wait. Lyrics abound throughout the stage.

Very fortunate to have a quality symphony right here in Springfield. The night that I attended the guest conductor did a wonderful job of leading this group of highly skilled musicians

Beautiful location and beautiful music makes a beautiful experience! Easy & close parking too!

What an amazing place! My family only had an hour free in the area so we opted just to do the free sculpture park instead of the full museum tour. Parking was very easy. My kids were thrilled to see so many characters they knew and just run around outside. Can’t wait to return for the full museum experience but happy to have gotten to see the sculpture park.

My kids and I were visiting CT and decided to take a roadtrip to Springfield to see the Dr. Seuss sculptures. We had a great time! We loved all of the sculptures! It brought me back to my childhood reading the books and watching the animated shows on TV. If you are visiting Springfield and love Dr Seuss, definitely stop here! You'll feel like a child again!

This sculpture garden is right in the center of Springfield Museum plaza. There were a handful of copper/metallic sculptures of many famous Dr. Seuss characters. There’s also a giant book sculpture that has some famous verses from Dr Seuss engraved in it. The garden has elegant walking pavement covered by trees. It leads to entrances of four museums around the plaza. There’s also an outdoor tent for people to sit in front of the garden. Overall it’s a nice garden for families and kids.

The Springfield museums are very fun. My children, ages 6 and 7, LOVED the Dr. Seuss Museum. There was so much to do on the main level. We were exploring so many fun new things on the main level. The kids could have spent all day there. The upper level was more historic items from Dr. Seuss’s life and the basement had a reading nook and craft area for the kids.

The garden sculpture park was unique and Had several different areas with Dr Seuss characters. I enjoyed my visit

Cute little area with a couple large sculptures. There's also a piano for kids to play.

This is a cool little park that's open to public. But I recommend buying tickets for the surrounding museums for the best experience.

We saw Michael W Smith here. The balcony seats were surprisingly comfortable, though they had little leg room, especially the first round against the railing. Otherwise, it seemed like the views of the stage were great from no matter where you sit. The venue is beautiful. There are plenty of ushers around to help find seats. There is a parking garage right next door and the rates were affordable.

We had a great time here, excellent symphony concert with comfortable seats and the building is beautiful. Everyone was friendly and helpful and it all made for a wonderful experience. There is parking across the street but my friend and I made an evening of it by going to MGM and getting free parking then after winning a little money we went out for dinner then ended it with a concert here. Worth a visit.

I had not seen a show here since 1991! I was worried the theater may be disheveled. Theater is in tip top shape. The sound is still extraordinary and I'm looking forward to the next concert I see there.

This is a venue not to be missed. The shows and events are always first class. Mambo Kings with the Springfield Symphony Orchestra knocked it out of the park!

Our second time here. Parking at MGM is easy,free, and convenient. Dinner first at the Casino. Symphony doors open at 7pm. You're best off starting to walk over at 7:25. The line has gone in.

This is a beautiful building and would be a wonderful venue if it provided handicap options. There is absolutely nowhere to park around it for handicap people. There is also no elevator that goes up to the third balcony so if there's no room left in the small options available, then you are making an elderly handicap person walk up and down the steps. The seating on the 3rd balcony is also extremely uncomfortable. If it wasn't for the handicapped options, I would definitely give Symphony Hall much higher ratings as it is a beautiful building.

There's something to be said about listening to music in a historic building. Excellent acoustics. I was seated on the balcony and had a birds-eye-view of the orchestra. A wide range of prices encourages diversity of audiences in affordability. Music to my ears!

This is one of my most favorite museums. I absolutely love the building, its architecture, the material, the warm and stunningly beautiful color, the incredible windows by Tiffany, the woodwork... the art collection is very good, too. I love coming back! Highly recommend to visit.

My family and I visited the Smith Museum at around 1:30 PM today (May 27th 2025) and we had an upsetting experience that unfortunately ruined what should have been a pleasant outing. While visiting the sculptures exhibit (the green room with mostly Roman sculptures) My uncle, who is visiting from another country, politely asked a museum staff member — possibly a facilities worker — if a certain exhibit area was open. The staff member responded in a condescending tone, saying “Speak English,” and was immediately rude and dismissive. When I stepped in to clarify that my uncle was just asking a simple question, the employee shouted “Can’t you read the sign?” and slammed the door in out faces. We reported the incident to museum security, and a security manager came to address it. The staff member, however, deflected blame, refused to take accountability, and falsely accused my uncle of being “uncooperative.” When I asked the security manager how my uncle could be considered uncooperative just for asking a question, the manager simply said he was relaying the staff’s version of events. This entire encounter was deeply hurtful. It made us feel that our differences weren’t welcome — a disappointing message in a city as diverse as Springfield. To be treated so rudely and dismissively by museum staff was shocking and ultimately ruined our day. So, if you happen to be a person with a heavy accent, or if English is not your first language I suggest being mindful that there is a chance you may come across racist, intolerant and unwelcoming staff/workers at this museum. I hope the museum reflects on this situation seriously. Everyone deserves to be treated with basic respect, especially in a public institution that should celebrate culture and diversity.

Amazing collection of American and European art works.

An interesting display of notable art from the West and a small window into art from the East. Especially loved the Japanese art/displays.

The GWV Smith is a special place that receives fewer guests than it deserves. It is in part an acquired taste, but still a unique time-capsule allowing visitors not only to enjoy the wonderful collection of "treasures" it contains, but also to contemplate the collecting tastes of a Victorian couple and their take on both U.S. and Asian art and cultures. The building itself is an architectural gem, inside and out, featuring an arched Florentine portico in brick on the front façade and late nineteenth century woodwork and extensive leaded glass within. The distinct collections include rooms with Japanese armor and metalwork (downstairs), Japanese ceramics and netsuke (upstairs), Chinese decorative arts, Islamic carpets and other decorative arts, and a salon hang of paintings mostly by U.S. artists that the Smiths collected, including one showing the couple inspecting some of their own holdings. The downstairs also has a large hall full of plaster casts of classic European sculptures, a rare surviving assemblage of what was once a common educational tool for teaching drawing. To be sure, it helps to appreciate these diverse holdings if you have some background in art history. It also helps if you are with a friend or family with whom you can engage in conversation about the meaning of these items from diverse cultures being bought and installed as they were, particularly in this time of discussion of (de)colonization. The exhibitions have largely remained the same for years, even decades, and sadly some items are noticeably deteriorating (particularly in their wonderful collection of "Turkish" carpets several of which are decaying and need to be dismounted, conserved, and reinstalled--although it is one of the few parts of their holdings for which a proper catalogue was issued years ago), so get their while you can! One admission covers both the Smith and the Fine Art Museum across the quadrangle; parking is free.

It was interesting wouldn't say its suitable for children younger than 10. Not much to get younger children's attention. I love the diversity.

A fantastic Asian art collection! Much better than the museums of other cities many times bigger than Springfield! A true local treasure!

Excellent exhibit on witches in Springfield.

Been a few times, always enjoy the veal jager schnitzel, although this time the mushroom gravy was a bit grainy. Giant German pretzel is always good. Great Brussels sprouts. Dishes list the sides that come with it, but you can switch sides to whatever you want. Service is usually great, our waitress this time wasn’t the best though. Great atmosphere, enjoy all the antlers and decor.

A nice restaurant for a good experience for German food. The place was very interesting with its interior decor and all the items and decoration around. The service was very friendly and nice. The food was okay.

Really awesome restaurant that serves mostly german style food. We got the pretzel and alligator bites. Pretzel was fluffly and crunchy, the alligator bites tangy and spicy. Really good entries. As a main dish we got the Salmon and one of the house specialities, the braised pork shanks. One of the best foods I've eating on my visit to the US.

Great place ! Our waitress was awesome. Food was great. Pork shoulder / steztle was great Schnitzel was great Brat slider was great Potato’s on the schnitzel was great. Ghoulish wasn’t the best , hence 4 stars. I’d still give it 2 snaps up in a circle and a twist <🫰🫰>, but the goulish: hated it !

Damn! The Pork shank that kept giving, literally kept finding more meat. Huge portion, like huge! But damn delicious. The Spatzle was also tasty especially with the Sourkraut. Order a beer, eat good food and roll yourself out of there. Great service from the bar.

Nice restaurant with super friendly staff. It’s very baby/kids friendly and my 1 year old love their kids meal!!

This place triggered so much nostalgia for me, having grown up in a German household and spent much time in Germany. It is relentlessly authentic, the exact food we would enjoy in Bavaria on a daily basis, and it's got a warm cozy atmosphere too. I loved my veal Schnitzel but the sauerkraut was the best I've ever tasted, even better than my Oma's. The fact they've been in business such a long time yet have retained the high standards of quality says a lot these days. Highly recommend.

The service here is great along with their food. Their burgers are OK a little bit flavorless but I would suggest anything else. A little bit pricey, but you would expect that in a casino. It is much better than the food court.

Average burger - it’s tasty, but nothing that makes them stand out from any other burger place. I will say that it is a much better option than the food court and they give decent portions. Located inside the casino near the elevators that take you to the parking garage

Steak tips, mashed potatoes and grilled Shrimp large 24oz or 32oz chilled glass mug with handle Athletic non alcoholic IPA, they also have cans of copper(LIKE Modelo), IPA true IPA, golden (LIKE corona)

We had the most wonderful celebration for a 40th birthday party. Our waitress was wonderful and was so patient for a group of 20 of us. And the best part was manager Zach was so kind and awesome when we bowled after dinner. Really appreciate the wonderful staff who made this a great experience,

This was our first time here. We did not think the casino was anything special however we loved the TAP sports bar. Our server was attentive. The food was delicious and priced reasonably. We all got different dishes and no one was disappointed. The bar was fully stocked. The atmosphere was laid back comfortable. Several large televisions scattered. We would not take the one hour trip for the casino but we might for the TAP sports bar.

Went here for my birthday. Received a horrible experience. They served me a crusty moldy bun on my burger and after I complained, no one from management approached me. I believe his name was Randy. He was too busy flirting with the two women behind my table to acknowledge that we were staring at him to get his attention. My fiancée even got up herself and approached another manager to explain the situation. After they were well aware of the situation NEITHER manager on duty approached our table to apologize for serving such a disgusting burger. I completely lost my appetite and nothing was compensated, we still had to pay $77 dollars for a terrible experience. What angers me is that it must have been intentionally served to us this way because there’s no way you can’t notice that. Very disappointing I will never return and I seriously will not recommend this place to anyone.

Came here before we watched the Barbie movie. Very sports bar and sports bar menu. Nothing really stuck out as phenomenal to me. We ordered the nachos. The nachos I will say that they did come out with a lot of cheese but I've had better .My son of course ordered his mozzarellas sticks which came out very cold and bland. They didn't have any gluten-free buns available which is very disappointing because you should have that if you're serving burgers and sandwiches. But I did order the pulled chicken sandwich without a bun. And my son had the mac and cheese which he enjoyed. My friends also had the burgers which they quite enjoyed themselves but they don't have to be gluten-free like myself so they got a bun.

The Mass Mutual Center is perfect for concerts, sports, and family fun—especially for kids and entertainment of all kinds. #MassMutualCenter #SpringfieldMA #FamilyFun #Concerts #Sports #Entertainment

Went to the festival of trees with a few friends and had a good time. The Mass mutual center did a great job setting everything up and getting people in to see and experience it. They were very organized and the trees and decorations around the room were beautiful. They had live entertainment each day with a stage area and seating and refreshments at the cafe in the back. Well worth the ticket price and great for the kids.

My last review is kind of harsh. The show was fantastic went to see the Black Keys. They put on a great show I don't understand why they didn't sell more of the arena. Anyhow the experience was good tonight the concessions were good. The margarita was really small that I bought, It tasted really good it was just really small for the price. Also got ultimate nachos and it was amazingly really good. As I said the concert and the venue were fantastic.

Had such an amazing time seeing Maroon 5 in concert. Platinum seats, great view, great performance. They had pricey drinks and food, but im not surprised. The music was great, Adam Levine connected with his fans. & made the experience 10x better. Love that they were close to home.

The parking is non existent at least for school buses. We went here because my son has a band concert being held here. I rode with the band so finding parking wasn’t an issue for me but the kids had to get off the bus and unload and reload right there in front of the building so it leads me to believe with it being in downtown busy-ish area there is only street parking. However, the inside is clean and the workers there were nice and accommodating to our school.

We attended a Thunderbirds game on a Friday night in late December. Great atmosphere, clean environment, lots of happy fans, and NHL- quality hockey for a fraction of the cost.

"Attending an event at MassMutual Center was an incredible experience! The venue is impeccably clean and well-maintained, offering comfortable seating and excellent sightlines from every angle. The staff were incredibly friendly and helpful, ensuring a smooth and enjoyable experience from start to finish. The sound quality was superb, making every moment of the event truly immersive. Finding parking was prolly the toughest part of it all but aside from that had a really great time. Whether you're attending a concert, a sporting event, or a conference, MassMutual Center exceeds expectations in every way. Highly recommend!"

Where to begin. It really depends on what your expectations are. From its high rating on Google, I was expecting something much better than what I actually got. If you are expecting a stranger-than-average museum experience that you'll definitely tell your friends about in a "let me tell you about this weird place" way, you'll love it. Unless you know what you're looking for, it is extremely difficult to find. I only found it because I looked at Google Street View after getting directions to the spot and seemingly finding nothing. Sure enough, there's a teeny sign in the grungy window of a run-down abandoned-looking jewelry store. I had to talk myself into going inside. When you walk inside, the store looks like it hasn't been touched in decades. There are boxes everywhere and shelves of faded/outdated greeting cards. It looked more like a shrine than a store with all sorts of pictures of the pope and various religious icons all about. An elderly woman waited at the back of the store along with two other people who would be entering the "museum" as well. The woman was quite knowledgeable, though she did follow us closely like we might steal something. I really wish photos had been allowed because there was some of the weirdest stuff in there, like creepy Jack and Rose dolls and mannequins around corners. Some of the artifacts were interesting, but a lot of things were only tangentially related. Hoo boy, and it was stinky. Stinky like mildewy, stinky like you maybe let something rot too long inside your garbage can. Nothing in that whole store had (obviously) been cleaned for some time. I was on a tight-ish schedule, so I told the woman I had to go (but I had not paid the entry fee yet, so I could not just leave), but she kept stopping me with "oh, but you haven't seen THIS." Held hostage, I tell you. I finally did get out, grateful to breathe fresh air again. Like I said, you just have to manage your expectations, and this could be an absolute delight.

A small collection of titanic-related artifacts about both the real ship and the movies. This is located within a jewelry store and only costs $7 to see. No photos allowed. The best part for us was that we were the only people there, so we pretty much got a guided tour with bonus info and answers to all of our questions.

Very Disappointed! There are clear signs online and on their door they are open Saturday 10am-3pm. I drove an hour out of my way with my Titanic loving brother. Specifically just too see this museum literally our plan of the day and they are closed! It’s 11:15am Saturday morning and the doors are locked and the door even has a return time set for 10am. Very disappointing and have no plans to return!

Though the location of the "museum" is a bit non-descript, it is a charming array of White Star line artifacts and items related to the HMS Titanic. What makes this experience more than pleasant us the knowledgeable and experienced story teller guiding visitors through the space and objects. The amount of information about the sailing lines of that day, and her knowledge of the individual artifacts and their respective stories is truly remarkable and a testament to her passion as an historian and lover of all things Titanic. Please, please, please go with an eager learning attitude and let this woman pour herself into your experience; you will not regret it!

My husband and I are huge Tutanic buffs. We have seen every museum in the United States, with this being our last stop on our trip to MA this week. This was the best one I've ever been to. Yes, it is in the back of a tiny, old jewelry store. Yes, it's dusty and dated. But holy cow. This kind and humorous woman knows her stuff. She told us SO MANY facts about White Star Line as a whole and especially the Titanic. It was such a great experience. To top it off, we went to the cemetary afterwards and saw the Titanic memorial as well as her brother's grave. It was truly a once in a lifetime experience. If you love the Titanic and history in general, I absolutely advise you to make your way to the Titanic Historical Society. Based on reviews, we called the day before to make sure she would be there. In the middle of leaving a message on the answering machine (yes, a legit answering machine), she answered and told us when she'd be there. Loved everything about it. Ten out of ten!

Definitely recommend! The owner was very polite and knowledgeable. There so so much history here across all of the White Star Line fleet. They also have little replicas of magazines you can purchase as well as coloring books!

This Museum was really cool they had movie props and actual titanic and sister ship item the owner was very sweet and kind only 7 dollars to enter to! Nice little gift shop.

In my experience, many of the staff are very rude, does not provide good and timely response, let alone horrible customer service. Let’s talk about the lack of quality work and the lack of academic advising performance. There isn’t any quality in that area at all, no “attention to detail” No one Seems have a clue or worse, they don’t focus on the older online students. The main focus is on the young students, and no one else seems to matter. For the amount of money we pay to attend this private school the service they provide does match our money at all. Let’s talk about some of the Professors. They might have PhD’s but they certainty behave themselves as not having no education at all in the way they communicate with students. Rude, unprofessional. For many of them it’s just a title and nothing more. Students surveys really need to be considered to possibly improve in certain areas that continues to lack in professionalism and “attention to detail.” Please start with the academic advising for the online students. Certainly needs plenty of improvement.

Great school and football team

The place where basketball was born. We maintained by the college reminding visitors the history of this place.

Beautiful campus, lots of history for locals, Basketball, YMCA, Boy Scouts, Gymnastics, Dance & more. Explore it & learn it's more than just a great small college...

Tuition is 50k and what do the students get. Terrible food, awful dorms, and nonexistant wifi. Cant get anything done. Just a cash grab school. Doesn’t really put the money toward the students, or anything useful.

I'm currently getting my degree from here. Its a great school. The professors are very helpful and most of the return your call within a few hours.

Springfield College became a home away from home. The School of Professional and Continuing Studies (PCS), is excellent. They helped me grow as a student and as a person as well.

Springfield is changing for the better

Our family enjoyed a nice walk around this little zoo. The zoo is located in a beautiful park (cost $5 to drive in the park to get to the zoo). We stopped by a Sunday afternoon and bought tickets at the gate there was no line. There's a nice collection of animals and educational information posted. Many of the animals seem to be rescues and pet surrenders and the all look to be well cared for. They sell cones of feed for the goats, which was fun for the kids. There's also a little playground just outside the zoo that the kids enjoyed.

I'm from New York, and no zoo can compare to the Bronx Zoo. However, this zoo reminded me of ones that are currently renovating and shifting their focus towards conservation and breeding programs aimed at releasing animals back into the wild. The zoo is small, with most of the animals housed in small cages. Many of them are alone. The only animals I saw roaming free were the peacocks and peahens. My granddaughter enjoyed the visit, but she's just two years old. I feel sad for the animals. The zoo is also under renovation, and many displays were empty.

Great walk in the Zoo. Helpful staff, fair price, great selection of animals. Sad to see some of the animals showing signs of caged existence but they are cared for very well. My 6 yr old Grandson loved the day exploring at the Zoo and playing on the huge play scape.

A sweet little zoo nestled in beautiful Forest Park. The staff were all friendly, informative, and attentive to the animals. It was the perfect way to spend a Saturday morning.

This is a great smaller animal park for younger children. I’ve been there a few time when my children were younger and now I bring my grandchildren. They really enjoy going. It’s not really crowded and easy to keep your kids in sight. We all know they like to run ahead. Our recent visit we saw an employee coming back from an educational showing of a really big snake. She was returning it to the enclosure. My granddaughters were so interests in that snake the person stopped, answered all the question the kids were asking and let the touch the snake. It really made the day for them. When done in the zoo we picnicked at the playscape just outside the exit. We all had a fun low stress day at the zoo. Can’t wait to go back.

Really fun little zoo. The whole park was beautiful and the little zoo in the middle was great. This place is a gem, the kids loved it.

A quaint little zoo in the middle of the woods. Well worth the ticket price and you have the chance to feed some of the animals!

Lots of work done to improve the park, new equipment at the playground and new tennis courts and pickleball courts. The grounds are well taken care of and very clean.

My kid plays there and it also has nice value

I like that the water park and the playground are close by each other don't have to walk to far from each other

Played in a softball tournament. Fields are fair. No fences.

Nice park lots of sports played there, it has bathrooms

Get your tent for the July 4 now it going fast..🤗🤗

Great places to let some energy

Nice viewing Clean It has a lot of picnic bench Cute ramada

Great boat house to enjoy the Dragon Boat Race.

Best place to go to watch trains and take a stroll on a nice day

Beautiful colors this week, mid to late October. Relatively empty, great place for a walk with friends, people playing basketball, some kids, sweet!

Great open park that has a little bit of everything from kids playground, baseball field, basketball courts, tennis courts, excersise area and hiking trails. Super dog friendly and a great place to de-stress from the everyday. Plus super clean!!

Van Horn Park is a nice place to hangout with family and friends. The park is serene and have a lot of amenities. It has a kids playground, gym, basketball court, baseball field, picnic areas, and a wide area to explore nature. The washrooms are also clean and well kept.

Park us great for my young son's, especially now with the new playground. The only problem is that the toys get burning hot when it's too sunny out. But the park is wonderful if the playground is too hot to play on the water park is right next to it.

Nice park so clean and peaceful, my first time being there I wasn’t able to find the lake but loved it just the same.

I love taking my dog on a walk here on the trails however I wish they would open the gate at some of the entrances so you could go in and park cause I’m not really familiar with where to park to get into just the trails without crossing over on a side street and parking there otherwise I like the fact that it’s not really busy and me and my dog can just have a quiet walk together we really enjoy it

Nice park all around . Outdoor exercise equipment is quite lacking and needs repairs. Can get in plenty of cardio , but you'll need to bring some sort of weights or it's only body weight exercises.

Great place to need improvements on everything come on who get stable in a parking lot.

I went to josephs jewelers which is right next door. Very nice jewelry store!!

That place should've been fixed years ago..

Waiting for opening

Classic theater

MGM is one of those rare places that really delivers nearly everything—you can go for the casino, stay for the food, the accommodations, and even just to soak in the atmosphere. We come here often, and every visit reminds me why. The casino floor is a blast. There are tons of slot machines and table games, so whether you’re a casual gambler or more serious, you’ll find your lane. The sports betting options are solid too. The thing that sticks out most to me is the people. The people that work here always seem to be the friendliest people. Parking and access are usually not a problem. That’s a big plus, since nothing kills the mood faster than circling forever or walking a mile after dark. The staff—front desk, servers, casino attendants—are almost always friendly, helpful, and professional. It makes the staying/playing experience smoother. Overall: MGM hits it out of the park. Whether you’re looking to gamble, catch a show, have a nice meal, or enjoy a getaway, it offers all of that with style. Definitely recommend it.

As a business owner if I could give 1 piece of advice to the highest management, I would say, CLEAN HOUSE!! Get rid of all the managers and start over. The only way MGM makes money is if customers come and spend money! The fact that customer service is rare nowadays is sad. Three times I witnessed blatant racism by a security guard. When I was tired of standing by watching, I asked for his manager. I described all instances with the supervisor, then just suggested maybe they should do a Unconscious bias training course or something similar. The manager was very dismissive and straight up told me "If I didnt like what I was seeing, I could just leave." If he worked for my company he would be FIRED. I wasn't rude, aggressive, nor disrespectful. Again, how would MGM continue to make money if this is the type of mentality from management? Today, I went to the food court to Bills Diner. I had a 55% discount for food and ordered my husband and myself 2 burgers and I grabbed a parfait. After the young gentleman rung me up, I did ask if he got the parfait (yes, I should have asked before he rung me up, but I honestly thought he saw me grab it) He stated he did not see it but that he can ring it up now but I wouldn't be able to get the discount unless I would like a manager. I did ask to speak to the manager. When the manager Sandro came over, he immediately brushed me off and told me there is nothing he can do, and that I should have showed him the parfait, and then went to walk off. I asked for his name. I paid for my purchase and waited for my food. About 10 mins later Mr. Sandro went behind the registers at Bills Diner and grabbed my receipt and took a picture if it. Then as he was walking by stated "I guess we are all just going to be reported eachother." Im so glad all of the Events & Promotions Representatives are absolutely amazing!! They always make me feel welcome. And they never seem upset or bothered whenever we speak.

Worst casino service in America. Slots Machines usually empty regardless how much money you bet $30, $40,$50 per bet and the maximum pay you get is about $2600 per winning on top of that you have to pay all your taxes. The security guards are usually very rude. they drag people out of the casinos for no reason at all and they could be obnoxious, disrespectful, and annoying and when you need someone to come to your machine to help you, make sure that you have at least an hour and a half wait before they fix your problem. On the other hand if there is money that you won on your machine, they’ll be there right away because they could get a tip. . if you’re lucky to have a waiter come over and offer for a drink. Make sure you have half an hour wait for it on the same machine if you lose something and they find it they usually get it two or three days later, if you’re lucky if they find any wallets or any available often you see the cars sharing the money on the wallet and you’re available you do not get them and he did happen to me a few times it took about four days for them to give me my car key. It’s a waste of time. It’s a waste of money to not go. They are very, very rude and Unprofessional. Also, if you try to make a withdrawal for an ATM and you do not get the money or your receipt, you're still going to be charged . if you make two withdrawals and the atm didn’t give you the money and you didn’t get a printed receipt did not get the receipt to prove that you were not charged you will be charged anyways, so be ready to check your bank account because whether you like it or not they are going to charge you Choice it's not worth it it's the worst place to go save your money save yourself headaches or somewhere else Mohegan Sun is great.

Roar Comedy Club hosted a trifecta of comedians in Lee Myers, Peter Liu, and Neema Naz in October 2025. Excited to see the show, I had been to MGM a few times but never Roar Comedy Club. It is inside the old armory building and is a beautiful setting to see comedy. The space has the historic charm while looking tactfully updated to host comedy shows, with excellent acoustics in the room. The seats were some of the most comfortable I have ever experienced at a live event, complete with cupholders. There is a ramp to get into the building or stairs. The staff was highly friendly and respectful. They do have a small bar in the back to get drinks. And what I also liked about the show was that one comic went on right after the other, keeping a consistent flow. We got out of the show a bit after 9:30 pm, so you can see a great night of comedy while getting home at a reasonable hour. Suffice it to say, I will certainly be returning to see more shows here.

I visited Wicked Noodles and Macho Taco last night and was extremely disappointed. The noodles were extremely salty, but I tried to brush it off. However, the real issue was with the Macho Taco order - I was served raw chicken. When I asked to speak to the manager, I was met with unprofessionalism and dismissiveness. The manager seemed more focused on being defensive than addressing the issue. He interrupted me, insinuating I was about to yell at him, and seemed unconcerned about the risk of serving raw chicken. As an Executive Chef with 20 years of experience, I'm concerned about the lack of attention to food safety and sanitation protocols. A manager's core responsibilities include ensuring food safety, providing excellent customer service, and overseeing daily operations. Unfortunately, I didn't see that here. The refund wasn't enough to make up for the poor service and lack of concern. Wicked Noodles/Macho Taco - disappointed and concerned about food safety.

I was aggravated after booking the room. Choose a flexible room rate but my credit card was charged the following day for over $300 that was not refundable. I expected to pay the total AFTER my stay like other hotels, NOT after booking the room. Flexible to me means I can cancel 48-72 hours before my check-in date. Non-refundable is what this tactic should be called. Despite this inconvenience, I had to stay so I don’t forfeit my money, and the room was clean and comfortable. Location is great with easy access to food and entertainment. Parking is difficult to find on a Saturday afternoon. Employees were friendly

We have patronized the casino and hotel on a few occasions. This last time in November, we had a horrible experience. The room was not well cleaned...baseboards and bathroom were not pristine by a long shot. While playing slots, my wallet was stolen out of my bag. I noticed it just after an unusual interaction with a woman sitting next to me and was pretty rattled. I reported the incident and my wallet, minus the cash, was turned in on the other side of the casino from where the incident happened. A formal security report was filed, and I was told they would look at the cameras to help identify the thief. I heard nothing for over 2 weeks, so called security who said they could not identify the woman who stole my wallet, but she is on a "watch list" so if she comes to the casino again they will approach her. Okay, So I appreciate the help from the floor concierge and security officer, but the casino/resort did NOTHING to settle my nerves, try to make it right for me or further address the incident. No offer of a few free slot dollars, no food voucher, nothing. Guest services was very brusque and dismissive of the incident when I called, forwarding me without comment to security, so I am assuming this happens frequently. Springfield is a rough little city, and this country bumpkin will not be returning to the city or casino/hotel. I will continue on the road for another hour to the Connecticut casinos where I have had nothing but good service and excellent customer service. Very disappointing and rattling experience. If you go, watch your wallet and keep your eyes wide open.

Nice views from the walkways. It was a little confusing on how to get to the walkway with the construction. I didn't go far, but the pathway for walkers and bikers were nicely paved. Also, only two pieces of playground equipment not much for kids to play on. Plenty of seating, nice place to visit, there was one section I passed that could have been trimmed more. Weather hasn't been the best lately, so it could be better later in the season. Keep in mind that the train right behind it can be a little disturbing if you're looking for a quiet walk.

The bike trail is nice. But unfortunately the stretch from avocado st to downtown is sketchy. Alot of homeless and drug addicts on and off the trail. Rode past a few needles on the actual trail. Don't feel comfortable on it. Born and raised in Springfield also. But I would rather go to Westfield or Northampton.

I was looking for a place to get a run in while visiting - so this ended up being a good option. The trail itself ended up being shorter than I thought it would be, but it was quiet and right along the river throughout, with nice views of the bridge and the sunset.

Smelly, dirt bike riders, unclean, boring. Feels unsafe. 630 on a late Spring day. From the HOF to Boat house park area and the Starbucks. Nice first impression Springfield. One star because zero isn’t an option. Won’t visit again.

So close to being a 5 star trail, honestly it is. My gripes are that it is a little short, it was not clear how to get to the trail from the train station, and the homeless camp under the bridge was a bit sketchy. Other than those problems this is a really nice trail that appears to be either well maintained, or just really well respected by the community. For the most part the landscape was great and I would go back again.

The view is really nice with the backdrop of the downtown behind. This could be a very good option for family. But its not that clean. Mosquitoes are everywhere as the small bushes of side of the bikeway are not trimmed. Evening time is not so great for family.

The Connecticut Riverwalk and Bikeway in Springfield, Massachusetts is a wonderful destination for anyone looking to explore the natural beauty of the area. The trail stretches for over 3 miles along the banks of the Connecticut River, offering stunning views of the water and the surrounding landscape. One of the highlights of the trail is the bike path, which is well-maintained and provides a smooth ride for cyclists of all levels. The path is also wide enough to accommodate pedestrians, joggers, and rollerbladers, making it a great place to enjoy a variety of outdoor activities. The Connecticut Riverwalk and Bikeway is also home to a number of interesting sights and attractions, including the Basketball Hall of Fame and the Springfield Armory National Historic Site. There are also several parks and picnic areas along the trail, making it easy to take a break and enjoy a scenic lunch or snack.

The Puritan is a historic restaurant in Manchester, New Hampshire, known for its classic American diner-style atmosphere and delicious comfort food offerings, making it a local favorite for hearty meals and friendly service.

Nice to see the first Chapin in my family tree to be standing tall not far from where they arrived in the new world from England

Shout out to a real one

Big Blue's he's also there you're homeless need snacks are you hungry coffee that is the place to go

In a city in the process of modernization The Puritan stands as a reminder of Springfield’s past and the heritage of its founders.

Beautiful little knook in my city..

This stern old fart has been scowling down at the city he helped found for over 125 years.

We love this park! There's so many different thing's to do here! The playground's, the splash/spray park(in the summertime obvi), basketball court, baseball field's and a path around the whole park that you can walk around. The splash/ spray part is definitely my son's favorite part! My family has gone there MANY time's, and will continue to go!!

One of my favorite places to go. Baseball diamond, basketball court, tennis courts, great playground that has accessible equipment/Swing for those with physical challenges. Has spray pad, picnic tables, a walking trail around the park and plenty of shady spots to just sit and relax, watch the kiddos, have a picnic, or all of the above! I will get pics added soon

Very nice and relaxing place to spend time outdoors.

Good but knocking off one star because St. Michaels Academy it is always using it. They have enough money so I don't know why they can't build a playground like the rest of the schools in Springfield do.

My girls love this place. The weeknight crowd in summer is great. Gets buggy real quick at dusk but you shouldn't be there that late anyway

Nice neighborhood park. Good place to walk dogs. Nice playground space for kids.

Nice place to clear your head, exercise or spend family time in the fresh air

It was nice and clean Enough to swim in. Although I just went fishing. I just wish there wasn't so much branch in the way may line kept getting hooked. Aside from that it was free to enter and park it's a nice place to spend time with family friends and loved ones. They even had a porta potty and the police and security took turns protecting five Mile pond park all day.

It was phenomenal, honestly. I was there with my brother and we went kayaking together. The water was very warm and very clean. We even started communicating with a family when we pulled onto the shore to take a quick break heading back across the lake where the car was parked. It was a mother and father with their 2 kids and they asked to try the kayaks out and we immediately said yea sure. So we assisted them into the kayaks and explained the few key details for maneuvering safely when on the water and they all did great. It really was a pretty amazing experience all around.

Great place to fish! Nice water, some people ruin it by littering diapers and empty beer bottles and stuff, but I can't down rate the place because people are slobs. Got my personal best largey here, see pic

Good fishing that's about it, everything else is a over grown, not maintained mess,, it's unfortunate because the kids have no where to go swim, but whenever it was open, people act like animals and ruin it, so that's what we get...

Five Mile Pond Fishing Area. Nice view of the lake. Seems cut off from the main park. Couldn’t find any trails. Black squirrels. Canadian Geese & Ducks. Seagulls. Lots of trees. Parking lot is holy.

Nice quite park with a pond, perfect for a picnic or a fishing trip.

Love the Serene view of the water ,needs improvement but would not give nature anything lower than five stars

Great place to fish, especially if you have a kayak. There is no public swimming area and very little parking. There is a boat ramp but it's not in the best shape.

No swimming,only a small area t fish from. Conservation area. From pumpkin seeds to trout. Large variety off fish,turtles,frogs,ducks make their home here. Maybe more.

No parking but if u can find your way to beach I'm sure its private... I seen no waterfalls so 1st picture is misleading..

Went past it in a kayak. It's all closed up. Has been for 10 or more years. Environmental Police from the state keep an office there. Three stars for the memories of years gone by.

Beautiful, it's too bad there's nowhere to swim or fish it's all private

I love this place if u have a dog with you they will love it plus the water is perfect and clean

New to this area and couldn't find any parking to go fishing. Anyone know where I could park that's not private!?

PAHMUSA is closed until further notice. In addition, Google My Business doesn't list PAHMUSA's hours correctly. Also, a sign on one of the museum windows stated it's scheduled reopen was 12/14. Sadly, upon arrival at the museum on 12/18, we discovered it was still closed. Reports from building employees are that the owner had to relocate and downsize all museum displays into a much smaller place. We need more spaces like this, especially in the state/region. I hope the owner(s) get the support they need to reopen. I did manage to take a few photos of the exhibits that were visible from outside the various museum spaces. LOCATION: It's not visible from outside and given they've relocated, I hope better signage, inside and out, improves so we all find it. Parking is metered. Stay tuned for an update, post re-opening visit.

This place is a great place to share with family and friends. The information here about slaves and the some history about Springfield ma is very educational.

Awsome me and my better half just left we had a great time they are so kind and I learned so much we will be back soon

Lots of interesting information and history.

So informative holds children interest worth the time a Nd money

I went by on a Sat. early afternoon when the Dane Gallery was supposedly open but it is a locked, empty, abandoned space. There is no gallery. The whole building is filled with studios but none were open. There is nothing to see here folks. I walked around for almost half an hour inside the "artist colony" and didn't encounter a single other soul. The IOM website seems active and robust but if you look at it closely you will notice there have been no updates on it since 2023, with no planned events or anything else. Same for all of IOM's social media sites. Upshot: This organization/colony is nothing more than a physical space of closed, individually leased artists' studios with nothing on display. It is not a "community" organization for artists or art patrons; it is not a venue or gallery of any kind. A shame because it seems like it could have a lot of potential to offer the public culturally (and monetize the artists' works at the same time) with a little attention. Hopefully no taxpayer dollars are devoted to this entity!

A must see... I cannot even explain how beautiful this place is and the art work you must go for yourselves. There’s an must attend event here coming up the 2nd week of November.

Great atmosphere great beer and excellent entertainment

May 2019 open studio art show was nice but a bit disappointed this time because many studios were closed for this show. Love the addition of the new brewery in the lower level though ... Was nice to enjoy a refreshing beer at the end of the day.

If you are an artist the location is good for studios away from home. They offer occasional art shows, but really I come here to play Pokemon Go since this is a gym location adjacent to water and prone to having water type Pokemon.

I'm not sure how to review this. It's a set of old warehouse buildings across a small river with some cool businesses and studios inside them. I took away one star only because it's a weird location your first visit.

fantastic use for the mills to have so much talent and art there, I go every time they have a weekend or other time frame gallery shows.

Googlegreat funny happiness grateful goody places to relax and enjoy the day with your family and friends 💟

Trash cans empty,but the rest needed to be cleaned up. Broken glass and trash in places. No restroom,so I wouldn't use it for an affair where there's a lot of people. Nice spot to stop at to eat lunch maybe?

It was so fun but dirty

Trash everywhere 😡 I'm telling you to find needles on the floor

Adams Park is like any other small children's park you just got to watch out at night

NICE PARK WOW CLEAN

Love it!!!!

Great rink overall. I play hockey here with the guys often and the ice is usually pretty decent most of the time. (Depending on whose on ice duty that day.) they’ve got some vending machines there and a few games for the kids to play when they get bored. Worth the visit!

Dress warm this is a cold rink. Very clean well cared for.

Its okay, the ICE is not as good as it use to be. The rink is generally dirty and the bathrooms are always rough to say the least. The head manager too always comes off as very standoffish. As someone who use to work there I would have definitely gotten in trouble for the state that the rink is in currently.

I would like to share experience of time skating! Except not only cant i skate, i cant find skating times, i cant find anything re public skating @ all! I scoured their web site. Brought me everywhere & gave me info about everything else except for public skating! Not sure if they dont have @ all, only during winter mths. Nothing @ all on the calendar for the whole yr. There was nothing on public skating pg. I have 2granddaughters who have been asking to skate. Was hoping i could find something locally. Know ice skating is more seasonal. I personally think having indoor skating during summer mths or @ least 1 or two of the summer mths would b great! Always looking for a place to cool off & would b a great activity for the kids during warm mths, nice & cold! My girls & their friends would love!! Actually all my gkids would love! Something different out of the same summer relm. Anyway, if anyone has any info re schedule & times for Spfld or Holyoke rink i would appreciate? Or if anyone knows anywhere there is ice skating during the mth of aug? & or Sept. Thank u very much for reading & your time! Enjoy rest of summer!! 🙂✌🌻

Nice rink and location, and not too cold.

Picked up some free top soil out in the parking lot. Plenty of room and the dirt was pretty good and you can't beat the price (free) Seems well organized.

Well kept ice arena, has been managed by "FMC" for many years now. Great helpful and attentive staff. Also has a great skate club which uses Smead for it's home rink.

Whether it’s your first visit or part of an annual tradition, it’s guaranteed to fill your heart with holiday spirit. Highly recommended for anyone looking to make lasting holiday memories!

Great spot. Know famously by any local, and more than likely within 50 miles or more. I've gone here countless times growing up. It's always super busy but worth every minute. They have added alot over the years.

My family had an awesome fun - filled night at Bright Nights !!! The effort that is put into each light display, is amazing. We went on $10 Tues., and only waited for about ten minutes, to get in. We also visited Santa's Magical Forest. My kids loved riding on the winter carousel, and getting their pictures taken with Santa. We cannot wait to visit again.

Went on a weeknight zero wait time. This is the best of the older style light displays in the area. The terrain of the park lends itself to separating the display into different “lands”. We did not have children with us so did not go to the Santa land part of the exhibit. Really enjoyed the beautiful light display. Would recommend.

What a perfect idea for a family event out! Pack up your car with snacks and toys for the family and jump in for a night filled with lights and exciting graphics, sculptures, animations, and more! Over the top quality in every way from the Bright Lights team. Easy ordering and well worth it in every way! It was like a short amusement park ride in the comfort of your own car, truck, van, limousine..! Call all your loved ones and enjoy! Note they even have a spot for you to stop along the way. I recommend you do! A nice little stop and way to stretch your legs. You can even get close to some lights and go on a carousel. Out of the many themes, Dr. Seuss, Candy Land and The Rose Garden were our favorites.

Always worth the drive! The lights were amazing as always. This year we stopped in at Santa's magical forest. The Santa was the most realistic and jolly one I have encountered in a while. The kids rode the winter carousel and got lucky enough to have Santa ride it with them. The tickets for the carousel were reasonably priced too, 3.00 each or 2 for 5.00. Always look forward to going each year! Have to order tickets on line before going, but it made the lines move faster going in. If your going, grab the coupon from big y. It brings the cost down to 16.50 a car load, without coupon its 24.00 a car load.

The line was super long to get into the bright lights which is expected right now. They do have the lanes blocked off and cops making sure no one cuts which is nice. We went around 730 or so and waited almost an hour to get in. The lights are nice and the kids really enjoy. They have a rest area once inside with port o potties and lots of sanitizer. Its a nice mix of different lights. Even nicer when there is snow on the ground.

My temp custodial teens like Hubbard Park. It's small and shady with a basketball court. Dirt parking lot, one or 2 holes easily fixed wish they make the attempt but it's fine for kids to hangout. I've had no issues so far with bullies. A mix of adults are usually seen there playing ball. It's also the spot where you may see officials conducting meetups for scheduled visitations, mandated reporters present which lends a feel of safety for my teen cousins.

I spend a huge amount of time here with my dog Tyson. But I grew up in IO and this park has always been a go to spot. Either with my kids or for birthday parties, many functions. Let's all do our best to keep it that idyllic spot.

This park needs cameras! Alot of illegal activities! Not to mention my son got stabbed and the police couldn't care less about our kids!

Great place to go for a walk. Nice and clean and safe and quiet

PEACEFUL Park… Great place to share with family including one pet…Confortable Park…includes: Portable-Toilet…Please bring ur family & please keep park “CLEAN”…”Thnk U”!!!

Great park and very clean. There are baseball/softball fields as well as soccer fields. If you don't want to use any of the fields, there is a lot of room just as a plain field. The grass is always cut to appropriate height. There is also a basketball court and a playground for the young kids. Great park for all ages

There is not much too much for kids to do. There is only one baby swing and it's not enclosed because there is no bar. The drains weren't working water from the sprinklers we're building a big puddle in the middle. There is one tiny play scape. There is a basketball court for bigger kids and a really nice field and baseball diamond.

People drink in this park all day long . I call it wino park . It used to be nice . The basketball hall of fame reconstructed this park they need to maybe do it again. Plant more trees and plants . My question is why do all the parks in the inner city or ghetto have no foliage in them . If you go to the suburbs the are kept up nice . Environmentalist need a agency in place to check our cities pollution level before and after the casino opens up. We lost a lot of trees in the city we just might suffocate ourselves. This is just a suggestion that air quality may go down . what do I know right I'm just a citizen .

It's a plain bare park in a ghetto area. Only people who live in the surrounding projects might be the only ones who utilize it. Once in a blue there might be an event of some kind but it's rare. It does have water sprinklers for kids for whatever it's worth.

Well I was working across the street but they're making the Parkway right now they're fixing it up so I think it's going to be great awesome and I think they're making it into a water park

My nephews had fun on the age appropriate playground. The slides need a little bit of sliding oil sheen on them though. The b-ball players were out too. Great day.

Construction in process and should have a great kids park

Its in a bad neighborhood, the streets are littered with trash, the city never emptys the trash barrels provided and not to mention there are alot of drug dealers that hang around and they don't even try to be secretive about it. Police are always rushing around with their sirens constantly, which can attribute to the crime. I definitely would never take my kids here unless you dress them up in a bullet proof vest

I push my kid on the swings here sometimes because i live close by. But overall, it's AIDS. Gangs of marauding teenagers by day and a seedy back alley, hypodermic set on an upturned milk crate feel by night.

The park is located on the corner of a busy intersection and is not fenced in. The park has a fully functional basketball court.

I have never been to this park but I do drive by. Would be a great park if the drunks would get out and let the kids use it. When the kids do use it they have to see the drunks and hear the swearing.

i DINT visit the park, I walk by it daily. IDK why this is one of the worst kept parks i the city. Ive seen parks in worst neighborhoods better kept. this one is full of trash, needles and the like. sad.

Its not a bad area where the playscapes are but the rest of the park is a muck, empties all over the park, trash everywhere, fights constantly.

Not bad of a place to take the family compared to most parks in Springfield I've been to

Always fun times with just us girls taking our little nature walks together...

It seem like this park get dirtier and dirtier, and it's a park for day time drunks now. Smh

Just don't go there,lol what a joke. Employs cannot be found even to greet you.

Went there to get my boat registered at environmental police or marine registry any way was no wait. Friendly taff. No line. Best done in February..

Wonderful partnership with Cataldo Ambulance to run a local Covid-19 testing site. Well organized, well run, very fast turn around for PCR tests. Thank you!

I was told there was a flu vaccine shot and there was not, too far away on the floor located, for disabled people, long hallway, rude behavior, very unprofessional

I haven't been here since my last covid booster. Thats what brought me here again,

The Smith & Wesson Technology center has a great lab and training facility. Great staff.

I got my Booster Shot here - quickly and easily!

Homeless people and drug addicts at gazebo and a lot of trash and a small encampment behind the bushes and trash everywhere

Empty area, not really a park; can be to relax corner store right next to it. Has benches nice and clean.

First time here me and my other half loved it

Nice neighborhood, very accesible.

Best park ever

Need a Facelift!!! A Park that is very underutilized!!!!

Just a great View in a reminder

I was visiting Massachusetts from Arizona this summer and heard about the Cultural Fusion closing reception through my girlfriend. We decided to check it out, and I’m so glad we did. The neon installation was impressive, but what really stood out was the atmosphere — very diverse, welcoming, and full of great conversations. Even though I’m not from the area, I felt right at home. A wonderful experience, and I’d recommend Art For the Soul Gallery to anyone in Springfield or just passing through.

The staff is very friendly and there is an interesting assortment of art on display and they have stickers and other stuff too. It's on the second level next to the food court if you were wondering.

Always a great display! Sorry I missed the opening! But I plan to pay more attention to the next ones.

Great place to visit to look at local artists

Always supporting local artists in and around the city. I hope they are able to reopen soon. We need more artists here.
