Fun things to do in Foxborough: 11 fun attractions and activities

S dream come true coming to the PHOF! 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!

5 stars must see so awesome vintage patriots and current players memorabilia. Best 10 dollars I ever spent. Sports shop is huge also this place was freaking awesome must see for any Pats fan. Stay and watch 18 min movie inside. Staff was very friendly. Badass!!!! The 6 trophies 🏆 is beautiful.

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.

As a Pats fan I was in Heaven here. Sooooo much history and amazing things to see and do. The staff was amazing, friendly & informative. You got to see the MVP trophies & most Impressive was the Lombardis and the championship rings. A must do for any pats fan. My wife is a Raiders fan and with the exception of the 18 min movie that featured the Tuck Rule game even she had a good time.

I think it gives you enough information to learn and feel the sport and authors of the game. Intuitive game plays are put together to teach about everything about the sports. I missed the lighthouse view because there was a game starting in one hour. So if you want to visit lighthouse make sure there it’s not a game day.

I think I followed the Healthy Heart trail most of the way and then towards the end hooked up to the Tupelo trail (which is what AllTrails told me I was on the whole time). Lots of burned out areas near the beginning. Controlled burns I'm guessing but I have absolutely no idea. Nice little trail. I'll be back to explore more trails for sure.

Great place to spend the day hiking around. Easy to get to with plenty of parking. Trails were very well marked. Which helped us due to the trail we were following was closed halfway through due to flooding. We took other routes and was able to go around and not get lost. Trail maps were also available for our use as well. We used All Trails and it worked perfectly to guide us through out the day. There are a numerous amount of trails to make it easy to go back many times and not get bored. Our dog loved it as well. Only draw back was other people with dogs not knowing etiquette or following guidelines. Some people didn't have their dogs on leash and others would stop and let their dogs stare at yours which promotes k-9 confrontation, instead of just continuing to walk by each other. Will definitely still go back otherwise.

We met many groups of people and all very respectful. We moved aside for Mt. Bikers and dogs we saw would not get along. Short hi to people and dogs that fit.. Nice 3.5 mile hike.

Beautiful park with tons of trails to explore. Got to visit in the spring when everything was so green and sunny

Enjoyed this state park. Some nice pictures of sunset lake and the upper dam. The primary trails were well marked, but some of the side trails were hard to follow. My map from DCR website did not have the color coding (red-green-yellow) for the trails, but the on site maps identified. Also liked the history of the trails with the CCC. Easy access also, close to the highway.

Something for everyone - Hiking, biking, or simply a walk in the woods. Mountain bikers who want to keep their momentum may want to stick to green and blue rated trails (trailforks) - I found the black rated trails to have features that all but required walking some parts. They seemed more suited to hikers. The off-road loop was not much fun on a mountain bike either. Lots of natural features around the park - mainly cliffs and glacial erratics - some very large.

Beautiful well-maintained park with options for everyone. Picknick areas, bike trails, and tranquil walking trails of varied levels. Nice large trees with ample wildlife. Highly recommend!

Better known for its shops, football stadium, and enormous lighthouse, Patriot Place is also home to Nature Trail and Ocean Spray Cranberry Bog managed by the Ocean Spray Cooperative. The short loop through the woods and passing by the seven-acre bog was designated a Healthy Heart Trail by Massachusetts Department of Conservation and Recreation (DCR) and covers about half a mile (0.8 km). Throughout the trail are signs describing the history and ecology to growing cranberries. The trail is open from dawn to dusk, seven days of the week throughout the year. The trail is fairly flat with a few inclines. It is not accessible for wheelchair users, and the ground in some sections is covered in roots. If you are in the Foxborough area and need a break from the noise and hustle of Patriot Place, this trail is a relaxing and educational walk.

A Peaceful Escape Just Off Route 1 Nestled quietly off Route 1, this spot is a beautiful surprise. Immaculately maintained and surrounded by lush greenery, it offers tranquil views that make it feel worlds away from the bustle. Ample parking ensures a hassle-free visit, and the experience leaves a lasting impression. If you're seeking nature’s embrace with ease of access, this hidden gem won’t disappoint.

We’ve been to Bass Pro and seen the signs for this many many times but finally decided today to check it out. So glad we did!! What a beautiful and peaceful place. The trail is short and perfect for families with kids. It has a lot of tree roots and up and down hills, though, so just be aware of that. You will see a lot of wildlife throughout the wetlands and bog. You can see lots of cranberries peeking through in the bog. There are informational plaques throughout the bog where you can learn into about cranberries. Just a perfect little adventure on a nice day!

THE NATURE TRAIL AND OCEAN SPRAY CRANBERRY BOG at PATRIOT PLACE This 7 acres of an active cranberry bog is located behind Bass Pro Shops in Foxborough, Massachusetts. This was my second visit this summer. The 1/2 mile trail around the bog is beautiful. There are turtles & frogs in the water & a variety of birds flying overhead. The water lilies are gorgeous. I'm looking forward to visiting again after the leaves have changed into their autumn colors! Did I mention this is FREE? 😍

We had time to kill before a wedding and we had seen signs for the Nature Trail and the Cranberry Bog, and we ended up on the actual day of the Ocean Spray Harvest Fest. What a magical few hours watching these guys wrangle all the cranberries and start to vacuum them up. A wonderful tradition, it seems since many families have visited year after year for family portraits by the bog. We learned SO much! Thanks, Ocean Spray!

Great ~0.5 mile trail for taking kids on. The trail has some steeper slopes and much of the path is covered by exposed roots so it can be difficult for little ones and those with walking difficulties.

What a gem! This is a perfect hike for small kids, and you get to see a lot in a short distance. We saw adorable turtles and really pretty lily pads in the pond, and the expansive cranberry bog. The trail was mostly flat except for the area that was in more forest. A great little hike!

Nice theater and very friendly staff. My fiancée originally thought they were out of the Stitch blankets but they weren’t. Also was nice they let us buy quite a few for other family members. Some places we go have limits and such. We saw a movie there two days in a row and had a good experience. Wasn’t like the best video, audio, and seating but did the job just fine. Could have been a bit cleaner but wasn’t bad.

Showcase cinema chains are excellent. I have watched quite a few in two of them and found better than others. Like seats are good so is the leg room. A good place to enjoy Enjoy movies with family n friends. The only thing is screens are small.

The movie theater was clean, and there were less than fifteen people in the theater. Concession stand is overpriced (shocker) but free refills on popcorn.... Challenge accepted! Ah hahaha

First time visiting this theatre and was not disappointed! We had lux level seats that were deep, clean and very comfortable with powered recliners and swing around trays for food and drinks. The servers were pleasant and didn't get in the way of the movie. The menu prices were ok overall and the selection was good. The sweet potato fries were awesome!

Showcase Cinema de Lux at Patriot Place was such a great experience. We were the only customers at the bar. Lindsay was our bartender/server and she made some great suggestions. We had a coupla beers and some burgers. The Showcase burger is delicious. I was a bit leery about BBQ and ranch sauces mixed but it was delicious. I asked for buffalo sauce on the side. Seats were great, food was great and the movie wasn't bad. I only wished that the seats had the a button to raise your feet when the seat reclined.

Went to see a couple of movies there. Nice theater, spacious and clean. I would recommend going when the stadium is holding an event since the traffic can be bad for both arriving and leaving. Also, it is very pricey at over $30 for two tickets.

Old school theater style, elbow to elbow in the old recliner seats, not de lux at all... 😂 Very confusing to get to, signs are misleading. Saw about 5 other couples going up and down the escalator like us bc of it. Very unpleasant staff... Movie was good!! 😊 And make sure your movie doesn't get out same time a sports event does..

This is one of my favorite spots to go on a Friday night with friends. Start off with some bowling for an hour or 2 move over to the stage area when the band starts playing. Dance and sing along until they kick us out around midnight. The drinks are decently good and the food good enough to order here instead of eating ahead of time. It's a fun filled night whenever I go.

Fun place to go with a few people or date night. Shuffle board and darts are free!

This was a fun evening. We attended as a large group for dinner and bowling. The facility was in a great location!! Walking in, the room feels welcoming and warm. There are lots of activities to do. Golfing simulator, a batting simulator, live music as well as bowling. Our server (Mia) did a spectacular job. She was very pleasant and professional. The food was tasty and well prepared. The presentation was attractive and conveniently located for everyone in the group. The bowling alley was clean and comfortable. All the equipment worked well. I would recommend this place for a fun night out, for small or large groups.

It was so much fun. The best finger food (wings, pizza, chicken fingers, burger sliders, buffalo chicken sliders, and veggie tray)... plus a full bar!

Great atmosphere. Make sure you go on a Friday or Saturday. During these times they had a live band play the audiences favorite songs. Was unbelievable how the artists knew all of the songs the audience requested. The top golf isn't a "real" top golf. Its has a simulated back drop for people to play top golf. What made this interesting was the back drop allowed us to play 5 other games. The games included: baseball, circus games, dodgeball, hockey (just to name a few). The food wasn't bad. My favorite was the pizza and the buffalo chicken sliders. Great time with friends was included and the howl at the moon drink was refreshing. The staff was friendly, polite and accommodating. They made sure my friends and I had everything we needed during our time in splitsville. I'd recommend this location for a night out with friends.

Good atmosphere, nice music. Food is ok and the bartenders and waitress are friendly and good, but managing reservations and games ... Very bad ... Overall I like it

We went here as a group after a company meeting. Approximately 15 of us. It was around 4:15 PM on a Thursday which worked as it was quiet. The staff was very attentive and very quick with the drinks, which was no small feat. We also ordered quite a bit of appetizers for our group and the turn around time was impressive to say the least. Lane was well maintained as were the balls. We had one issue which required a maintenance intervention and the staff was right on top of it. Everyone was very polite and professional. Would come here again.

Haven't been to this old movie theater in several years. Lots of changes - all for the good. Very good sound system. They now serve beer and wine. An important part of upgrading the Common. Accompanying photos are of THE MATT MACKENZIE BAND, led by Foxborough native son, who went west, picked up bluegrass, and is making great music.

Small intimate theater, with the nice opulent historical look. All seats are great, we've seen big name comedy, and bands, been great, ticket prices and concessions are reasonable. Take your kids to the live shows geared for them so they experience live theater. Support local, so awesome to not have to fight Boston traffic!

Great little theater. Seats are a little close, not much wiggle room but it's a nice intimate theater. We parked in the next lot over, not a far walk. We saw Psychic Comedian Peter Antoniou and he was truly amazing. I thought it would be crowded and shoulder to shoulder trying to leave but it flows well. There was even space to meet Peter by the concessions after the show for photos. It was a great time.

Loved our visit to the Marilyn Rodman Performing Arts Center! The theater has a warm, vintage charm and the staff made us feel right at home from the moment we walked in. Great acoustics, comfortable seating, and a solid lineup of shows. We’ll definitely be back!

Beautiful venue. Parking is dicey as many lots state they are only for a certain restaurant but patrons take the street parking too leaving side street parking only which is also restricted. Be ready to walk.

I went to two of my granddaughters dance recital here. I would describe this theatre as small and comfortable to watch the girls dance recital’s. This is a very old original theatre and the front center section has the original wood seats with cloth and padding. Other parts of the theatre have updated seating that was very comfortable and fairly wide unlike some theatres that have smaller crowded seats and feel like your sitting in the next persons lap and I’m not to fond of those theatres. These new and the original seats have arm rests that sort of separates you from the persons next to you and defines your space a little more. The lighting and sound system was very good. At the back of the theater next the entrance they have a snack bar. The climate in the theater was adequate. I like that the center section is not really wide and you don't have people constantly needing to crawl over you. The center section has aisles on each side and most seats are easy to get to without crawling over 25 or 30 people as in large theaters. The side sections are accessed by the two aisles and only have 4 seats wide that are really nice to gain access and not a bunch of people getting in and out of the rows.

Was fun the side seats are hard to see the stage if someone is tall otherwise really great experience

Are you looking for a place where your server carries an axe around and you can practice throwing axes for the end times?! Or maybe you just feel the urge to throw axes at a piece of wood while eating greasy pizza? Either way this may be the place for you! Our server/ axe coach was cool, we had fun throwing axes, and the pizza was good, but VERY greasy. The bathroom looked like someone took their rage from not being able to properly throw axes out on it but did the job. Great value as we went on a weekday. But with that said we did spend $80 or so. The place was much quieter than I anticipated a bunch of people throwing axes would be. All in all a very unique and fun experience!

Such a fun night! Party of 8 to celebrate a birthday! DJ was very helpful with tips on how to throw properly, sprinkled with some funny banter. Service was just as good but I can't comment on the food because we only ordered drinks but I would be willing to bet that it is just as good. The atmosphere is great. We will definitely be back!

I can't say enough about coming here. For one, they instruct you ( without it counting against your time) which is key to enjoying the rest of your time. The person who goes over everything with you also becomes your assistant for food and drink over the course of your time. They also help you if your form is off. We really enjoyed our time here and extending time is as simple as asking to add time. Great people, food, high quality tracking technology making it easy to play and not change scores all the time. I can't wait to come back!

We had a great time at Crazy Axes Foxboro. We’ve been axe throwing several times in many places, and the space here, the time you get to play for the price and the layout are all amazing. Plus the bar pizzas are good and there’s a great bar selection compared to most axe throwing venues! We also loved the digital screen experience - didn’t have to keep track of the score ourselves! It was a really enjoyable time. One of us had never thrown before and also had a blast. There’s a lot more to do here than axes so it’s a great option when you’re escaping the heat, before or after a concert, as a gathering place for a birthday or celebration or just for a weekend activity!

We had a fantastic first experience at Crazy Axes today! DJ & the whole team couldn’t have been kinder or more accommodating, even before they knew we were celebrating our twins’ 15th birthday. DJ was extremely knowledgeable and patient, taking his time to ensure both kids found their groove and had FUN!! Once they found out about the birthday, they went above and beyond to make sure the kids had an amazing time, teaching a handful of trick shots and making technique adjustments until they each landed the trick. We can’t thank them enough for helping us make this birthday extra special, and we will definitely be back for more!!

We didnt grab any food but they were great as to help our bday party we were having. JD was a great instructor and had fun with you. The rest of the staff was very pleasant and even helped refund my card because everyone didnt come in time for the reservation. Overall had a great time and would come back

Firstly, shout out to Brian! Fantastic instructor. This was the first time I've been to this type of place. What a amazing time! Had the great introduction with Brian and then threw some axes! Food was great too. We got a pizza and wings. Overall very chill and fun atmosphere.

Really beautiful grounds, mostly well maintained (some stones need a little love), and I love the history it preserves in such a spectacular building.

Love the theater, only down side chairs dont have foot recliners. Food wise, it wasn't bad at all, I got the spinach salad with chicken and balsamic vinegar (wasnt crazy about the smell but it could be because it had blue chesse sprinkled all over it) and the attendant did a great job. As far as the atmosphere, they did a good job giving the second floor a lux feel.

The theater was freezing!!! Wore winter jacket, hat and gloves through the entire movie. Also, they didn't turn down the lights and the glare from the lights above was distracting. The theater was rented out for a private viewing, the movie was great, but the service and lack of consideration was terrible.

Freaking awesome. If you want to sit you need to either reserve some (private) or get in early for first come. We stood, great bar rail. Pricey top shelf

Absolutely one of the biggest movie theaters I've been in. A very cool place. Plenty of places to choose food from. Lots of popcorn and goodies to buy. It was really a big theater and lots of movies to choose from.

Lux Seating... not worth the money at all! Leather seats that don't even have a foot rest. Terrible food.. at least my cesar wrap was. Not great service, not the servers faults just a very bad system. Never got my free small popcorn either.. pretty salty about that

Filthy. Every trash receptacle full to overflowing. Bathroom was disgusting. Obviously understaffed like every other establishment seems lately. Manager comped every patron at end of show with free movie pass and apologized for the mess. No reclining seats either. I won't be heading back free pass or not. Well maybe for freebie 😉

This is a clean comfortable venue. I attend with friends that want a big screen experience but cannot watch Imax due to motion sickness otherwise I would go to Imax instead.

Beautiful stadium and morning spent at Gillette Stadium. Went up the lighthouse to see spectacular views and the cost was reasonable. The only reason I gave it a 4 and not a 5 is because the picture we took at the top did not get emailed to us. I emailed the contact I was given and never received a response. Other than that, the staff was super pleasant.

America's tallest lighthouse offers a rewarding visit, providing breathtaking views of Boston. The unique perspective of the stadium from this vantage point is exceptional. Tickets, purchased via barcode scanner upon arrival, support a charitable foundation. Following a lift ascent, complimentary photos are emailed to visitors. While summer days offer optimal conditions, windy days are discouraged. Allow 15-20 minutes for the 360-degree panoramic experience before descending. The $5 admission fee is well justified.

Very awesome experience for otherwise dull patriot place. The staff was very friendly both at the bottom of the lighthouse and at the very top you buy tickets through a QR code when you enter the lighthouse I will say this to start off if you are afraid of heights do not go up to the top. It looks like a fire drop in the glass does not help it. I believe it’s over 200 feet. Other than that. It was a great experience. There was a gentleman at the very top that took a picture for us who worked for Gillette and answered some of our questions getting on at the bottom was going through a metal detector and a quick ride up the elevator maybe 30 seconds You can see Boston from the very top. There is plenty of parking as it is shared by the stadium and Legacy place and it is free outside of games going to the top is only five dollars for adults. Kids are free. I do not believe there are bathrooms at the top, but there are probably bathrooms at the bottom or Nearby. It is handicap accessible. Enjoy and have fun.

If you're visiting the stadium, don't miss out on going up to the light house. It has an amazing view of Foxborough and the stadium. Prices are relatively inexpensive, and military members get in for free.

I don't normally do reviews but I have to give a shout-out to this place and the worker--i think her name was Sandra-- for her assistance. She has purple hair and was so friendly. My wife is 8 months pregnant and was struggling a bit to get her picture taken and the photographer sat her down and made sure she was okay. She then gave us directions to the hall of fame and that was a cool experience. We will definitely come back. Highly recommend

Have you ever wanted to explore a lighthouse nowhere near a major body of water, but very close to a major league sports stadium, and learn history along the way? If you live in New England, you are in luck. Gillette Stadium Lighthouse in Foxborough, MA is just that. Be sure to check the calendar before visiting, as the Lighthouse often closes for special events, like the upcoming Tom Brady Hall of Fame induction. Plenty of parking is available in nearby Lot 5. The Lighthouse is fully accessible for people with limited mobility or using a wheelchair, although no seating is available at the top. The lobby is dimly lit, possibly for ambiance.

It's really high up. If you don't like heights it might not be for you. Couldn't get good pictures of Providence because of the clouds but Boston was easy. Cool attraction wish the bell was available to see and ring.

Highly recommended! Had a fantastic time hanging out with my friends. The staff were friendly and encouraging, making the experience even better! Planning to go again!

I can not say enough good things about Ace Archers and the employees who run it!! I hosted my fiancé’s 30th birthday at the range and John, the manager went above and beyond to help me through the process. He made the experience effortless, efficient, and everyone had a blast. I would go there again and recommend the facilities for anyone looking for a fun date night/birthday gathering, or looking to get into the sport!

Brought my compound bow in to get tuned. John helped fix all the items that were set up incorrectly by the place that I purchased it from (not them) and helped sight it in at 20 yards. Will definitely be back for practice sessions and any future needs. Very welcoming environment and friendly people.

I participated in their training program and really enjoyed it! My group was small and manageable, so it was really easy for me to get a lot of feedback regarding my stance, hold, and aim. It was by far the best sports training experience I’ve ever had. Very nice and friendly people.

I came here last weekend with my girlfriend and we had such a great time! We reserved our slot a few days prior and were able to get started shooting mere minutes after arriving. The staff is very knowledgeable and polite, especially Walter. He was great and was able to answer any and all questions we had. Safety is their number one priority here and it shows. They have very clearly marked lines to stay behind whilst others are shooting, and only allow you to retrieve arrows after everyone has emptied their quivers. This is definitely a place we will be back to in the future!

I’ve been to a couple archery ranges in the area. Recently went to one slightly cheaper and let me tell you, you get what you pay for. Ace archers is a comfortable and inviting environment with professionals to guide you through anything you need. Looking forward to returning

Took my oldest here for our first time trying archery. The employees are extraordinarily nice, the facility is clean, and the environment is safe! I highly recommend it!
