Tower Hill Botanic Garden

Tower Hill Botanic Garden is New England's year-round botanic garden, a living museum of plants exquisite in every season. Several distinctive gardens arrange plants according to an overall Master Plan, that includes a Lawn Garden, Secret Garden, Systematic Garden, Cottage & Vegetable Garden, Wildlife Refuge Pond, Winter Garden, and more. Two conservatories--the Orangerie and the Limonaia--display non-hardy plants in winter, with blooming flowers in every season. Springtime brings more than a quarter million flowering bulbs, including a signature field of more than 25,000 daffodils.

We enjoyed a winter afternoon at Tower Hill. The greenhouses are gorgeous, and it was wonderful to explore the tropical plants in bloom, despite the brisk weather outside. The Christmas decorations were a treat. We did explore some of the grounds, and really enjoyed the Wild Rumpus.

My husband and I visited this estate on a gorgeous Sunday afternoon, and it was incredible! Nestled in the countryside between Boston and Worcester, this place is easily accessible from either direction, as well as from Cape Cod. The grounds are beautiful and very well maintained, and several picnic tables on the lawn allow visitors to enjoy a picnic!

We went inside the establishment to pay for a 10-sample alcohol tasting. Guests who purchase a tasting receive tasting tokens as an easy way to keep track of alcohol consumption, which is a smart idea and not something I've ever seen at other tasting rooms. Tastings come with a complimentary glass as well!

What's unique about this tasting room is that each token will get the guest a tasting of wine, beer, or spirits...all selections are available at the tasting bar. The wines are absolutely delicious! Maiden's Blush and Nashoba Mead are a must-try. I also really liked the pumpkin and blueberry ales.

If guests don't make reservations at the restaurant on site, there is a food kiosk that serves a variety of (unhealthy) options, including pizza and nachos, which is a good option for those who've had a bit to drink. In addition, there is apple and nectarine picking on site as well! Sizes come in pecks or half-bushels.

Huge shout-out to John and Selena, who made our visit truly incredible!

The only reason this establishment did not receive five stars is because of the overly crowded tasting room. The staff did their best in being attentive to guests, but lots of people were crammed into each others' personal space, which was sometimes uncomfortable.

This is a great place to visit, whether single, with a significant other, or with family!

Davis' Farmland & Mega Maze

Reviewed By Jess_S_10000000 - Boston, Massachusetts

Davis Farmland is basically a farm themed amusement park for kids that is also one of the biggest endangered farm animal reserves in the country. (Because of the industrialized nature of farms today, many breeds of farm animals are no longer raised on commercial farms and are in danger of extinction). The variety of breeds within the same species was very interesting to see and all of the animals seemed well-cared for.

We went as a family to celebrate our son's 5th birthday. I took the day off work to avoid the weekend crowds. (Davis Farmland is open Thursdays and Fridays through mid-autumn, but the maze and u-pick are weekends only). My son had a wonderful time and already wants to go back.

My son was happy that most of the animals can be petted. He enjoyed meeting kittens, bunnies, goats, sheep, chickens, llamas, alpacas and donkeys. (Beware that the baby goats enjoy a good nibble on any loose clothing). There were lots of employees (aka "farmers") on hand to make sure that the animals were being treated nicely and to answer our questions. It seemed like every time my son had a question that I couldn't answer, a helpful farmer was there to share their knowledge.

In addition to the animals, there is a hayride, pony rides (extra cost), play area and 2 large bounce house type structures. Since we were there on a quiet day, I jumped on the big bounce pad with my son and it was a lot of fun. (Other parents were enjoying it too). We were there for 5 hours and could have easily stayed longer had we not wanted to beat rush hour traffic home.

We ate lunch at the Herd Rock Calf-fe, the onsite restaurant. They had a nice selection of food considering that it is really a theme park cafe. We are vegetarians and actually had our choice of several items. We went with veggie burgers and my son had a grilled cheese. He said it was the "best grilled cheese ever." Perhaps we were just hungry from our outdoor fun, but everything was tasty (though the burgers appeared to be packaged garden burgers). Vegans should know that there were also vegan options including a hummus and veggie wrap and chocolate almond milk.

Considering the cost involved in caring for the animals, the number of attractions and the fact that the farm is well-staffed for the safety of both children and animals, I thought that the approximately $60 we spent on admission and animal feed for our family of 3 was worth the price. Adding in the cost of lunch and snacks, we spent about $100 for the day -- cheaper than throwing a birthday party and much less stress for me and my husband. My son says, "Davis Farmland is a really good place for kids."

Best place around for apple picking, the owner is friendly and often drives the tractor that pulls the hay cart. I especially like their choice of late season apples like the Fuji, Mutsu and the Jonagold.

This was just a quick visit on Labor Day Monday. It was not too crowded. They have streamlined traffic through the store and have many registers open. I heard about the apple dumplings but did not see them in the store, so I asked at the register and got some fresh out of the oven. Yummy. Of course we also got some donuts, not sure if they changed anything or I just like them more, but the donuts seemed yummier this year.

I have visited the Silver Buffalo Gallery many times. They have beautiful pieces in their gallery and run wonderful shows/events for many Native American artists. We have had custom work done by some of the artists as well as picked up vintage pieces. All beautiful work and priced within reason.
I have come to know Joe the owner and and Elizabeth who know everything about everything! I have high regard for their expertise and integrity.
If you can't get to the Southwest, come here to Berlin, Ma for a visit to this gallery. Watch for their artist shows so you can meet the person(s) making the beautiful work you will be buying.

Strand Theatre

Reviewed By CaseyfromBoston - Home Usa

What a great place; how a movie theater should be! Lovely old building with wonderful architectural details, nice selection of food and drinks including beer and wine, a table at every seat on which to enjoy things, and reasonably priced.

If movie theaters are to survive in this home streaming age, they need to offer something beyond huge crowds of teenagers (which then means no alcohol), bland physical space overstuffed with corporate advertisements, and usurious prices. The
Strand does it right!

We went here after Nashoba Valley Winery, and it's a great little country store. I ended up getting some delicious hot sauce, but I wish I was hungrier, as they had some great looking stuff there in additional to all the groceries you would need. They also have a barista on the premises who made a decent iced coffee.
