From the sweet little farm at the foot of Penn's Hill to the gentleman's country estate at Peace field, Adams National Historical Park is the story of "heroes, statesman, philosophers ... and learned women" whose ideas and actions helped to transform thirteen disparate colonies into one united nation. Please note: Adams National Historical Park is open for tours from April 19 through November 10 every year. The first tour leaves the Visitor Center at 9:15 a.m. and the final tour leaves the Visitor Center at 3:15 p.m. Tickets are sold on a first come, first served basis.
We wanted some real history with facts and narratives and you get it here. We learned about the 4 generations of Adams'. Toured their homes and saw how they lived. Really learned about their love of our country. I don't think I've ever been through a tour that touched on that so much before. It was truly refreshing and inspirational. Quincy is a little bit of a drive outside Boston. I think it's worth it. The town is quite nice as well. A good trip. I have 2 teens. The first part of the tour was kind of "blah" for them, but the second half made up for it. Trick here: ASK QUESTIONS! If you see something, don't assume they will tell you about it. Ask! The guides know so much about this house and to make a tour that fits everyone can make it bland. So please ask questions. They are happy to share what they know. They have little gems about the house too.

Rolling hills and rocky shorelines offer sweeping views of the Boston skyline, while tree-lined carriage paths designed by famed landscape architect Frederick Law Olmsted make delightful walking trails.
Unfortunately scores of people, lines of cars waiting to get in, barking dogs and loud chatter makes this place as pleasurable as a shopping mall at year end.
If you want a relaxing and quiet stroll in nature, try and get there before 10am or go somewhere else.

This place is such a gem. More people need to frequent it! Not only is it set in a beautiful environment with a lake replete with classic swans swimming, but there's an outdoors sculpture/sanctuary type landscape as well as the beautiful architecture of the main exhibit building itself. The exhibits I saw recently were outstanding. Old glass repurposed in wonderful and fanciful ways as well as an outstanding modern tapestry exhibit. There's always some community based exhibits as well as the museum seems committed to partnering with the local schools and children to support artistic development. There's a delightful walkout onto a terrace which sits right on the lake. You feel as if you are in a floating Japanese style space. Tho the snack cafe wasn't opened when we visited it seems a perfect place to sit with or without food. There is ample free parking and its so refreshing to be outside the city in a short, traffic free drive to see good art/crafts. Can't say enough good things about this place!

We were here to celebrate our 50th wedding anniversary. The owner greeted us and was very gracious and friendly. He explained everything in detail of what we could expect and he even spent time talking to our guests. The two instructors were great, and very competent and made us feel very comfortable and relaxed. The place is small but we did not feel that was a negative. The views on a clear day are fantastic. I would not hesistate to recommend them.

This family farm is a good place for homemade ice cream and we often take the grand-kids there when they visit. Inside the store vegetables in season are very expensive. There are cows available for the children to look at while eating their ice cream.

Fell into via word of mouth and GPS..and glad we did. Real cool small layout in strip plaza but beer is awesome and staff knows what they are doing!

Definitely worth the trip if your making a point to check out of all of the local MA Breweries. Nice small brewery where your literally right on top of the brewing process--the day we were here they were changing the beers and you could smell the Hops as they were emptying them out... food option right next door as well.

OASIS DAY SPA offers the finest holistic spa services in a peaceful environment in the historic Fogg Opera Hall just 20 minutes south of Boston. Online booking and e-cards are available.
Oasis Day Spa is superb. You wouldn't expect to find such an excellent spa outside of the city, but I like Oasis Day Spa better than any of the expensive spas in Boston. I like the atmosphere (quiet and lovely) and the attention to detail. Wanda is my very favorite for a manicure and pedicure -- they even do a hot stone massage during a pedicure! I travel about 30 minutes from my house to go there and would not make a reservation anyplace else when "home." I have tried the massage (which was good but not great - slightly disappointing but i will try again) and am about to make an appointment for a facial. I can't say enough good things about OASIS DAY SPA.

Hike past a former mill pond, cross a wetlands boardwalk, and explore a forest of pine and oak on your way to a boathouse on the banks of the tidal North River.
This wonderful property is maintained by the Trustees of Reservations. There are well maintained woodland trails that pass scenic ponds and the North River. The walking is easy. You will need insect repellent. No sanitary facilities. The dog policy is prominently posted, but many owners ignore the requirement for a leash.

For a nice quiet walk around or partly around Cleveland Pond, this is a nice little take. The place probably was more utilized in a different time but there is still plenty of parking, nearby picnic area and lots of trails in and around the pond and park.
There is a ranger station but it was unclear whether there was a fee for entrance.
It looked like a lot of local people come for a walk and/or a walk with their dogs.
Though I didn't see anyone fishing, I am under the impression that fishing is allowed. There are some interesting rock outcroppings on past the dam on the west side.
