6 Things to do Good for Kids in Lenox That You Shouldn't Miss

March 6, 2022 Brain Ambrose

It seems like every time of year is "in season" in Lenox, a small Berkshire town that has been a popular retreat since the 19th century. In summer, picnic on the lawn at Tanglewood, the Boston Symphony Orchestra's summer home. In fall, when foliage peaks, take to the hiking and biking paths of the Pleasant Valley Sanctuary to immerse yourself in the vibrant colors of the mountains. Winter visitors enjoy skiing at a number of resorts and cross-country trails, and in spring, hikers and golfers practice their pastimes in splendid settings. Rejuvenating treatments and pampering, at the well-known Cranwell Spa, are favored all year long.

We took our three kids (ages 8, 10, and 12) snowshoeing this morning and did a loop around the beaver pond. Beautiful and scenic views. Easy to moderate trails.

The Bookstore

Reviewed By mommy10583 - New York City, United States

We stumbled upon the bookstore in our way home after lunch. The bookstore is closed to public during Covid but the owner Matt and his staff were beyond helpful and picked a few suggestions and showed them by the window. Three classic and one trending Stem books. We loved what they picked for us. They offer curbside pickup and hopefully when it’s safe to open the store we will be there to see their full collection!

My husband and I went hiking here due to our innkeeper’s recommendation. It’s walking distance to the trailhead from downtown Lenox. Lots of trails-very good ones. Recommended. Hope to come back.
