Beautiful paths through curated plantings make this spot absolutely transporting. You are no longer in the suburbs, but in a wooded garden that goes on forever. My preteen and I spent a few hours and they flew by, taking pictures, reading about different plants, taking in the sculptures, we even monkeyed around in the family area for a bit. It felt like we had the whole place to ourselves! I plan to go back a few times to see how it changes with the seasons.

Large paved 1 1/2 mile oval with plenty of trees surrounding a large open field. Walkers, runners, skate boarders, roller skaters and bicyclists as well as plenty of dog walkers. Not crowded.

Exhibit ‘A’ Brewing Company offers a fun look at storytelling through beer with a subtle nod towards the meaning of life. While we may know the answer (42), it’s the questions that keep us searching. We are all about experiencing life and having a great beer or three along the way. If the beer came from our own brewery, even better! We keep our lives, and our beers, simple and honest. Beer was meant to be enjoyed together. So we invite you to join us at our brewery in Framingham, Massachusetts. While you are here, enjoy full, half or sample pours of our beers in our brewery taproom and 16 ounce cans and growlers to go. We think our beers taste the best in our brewery, but they will probably taste even better in the comfort of your own home, shared with friends and family. That’s because we believe it’s the way beer was meant to be enjoyed.

A very small brewery in a somewhat hidden location in downtown Framingham. Food is available sometimes, including pretzel bites and other chips and snacks. If you follow their Facebook webpage you will usually see an announcement for a special event with a food truck or food counter. We are much more likely to go to this brewery on a Friday over somewhere else when they have a food event going on, so please keep that up. On our last Friday visit, we were able to get nifty and interesting sandwiches and the whole brewery itself was opened with special seating and lighting inside for the event. That was unexpected, very different and very cool. Another note I will say is that the bartenders are very friendly. The woman who frequently bartends is always cheerful and engaged. I do have two criticisms that maybe management may or may not read. I wish there were growlers available. I know that there are to go cans which are just as fresh but I feel like I would visit more often if growlers were available for refilling. It may not be economical for such a small sized brewery but I prefer growlers. Another criticism I have is that there are a high proportion of IPAs on tap compared to other types of brews. I really like the kolsch style brew they have on tap and tend of stick with that because I haven’t tried anything else there I like anywhere near as much. I hope they consider adding more red ales, golden ales, wheat ales etc for those of us who aren’t into IPAs. Otherwise a great little place to have some beers with friends.

Springdale offers some great beers, especially with their sours and IPAs. They allow you can bring in your own food, or order a few items from the Jacks Abby menu for delivery for a small surcharge. The bartenders are very friendly, generous with their sampling, and helpful with recommendations. They offer some great events, with trivia, yoga and zumba at the brewery for awesome prices ($15 for 1 hour yoga and a beer can't be beat), as well as all the time entertainment with corn hole, arcade games and shuffleboard. It never gets nearly as crowded as its neighbor, which is great!

Very friendly to dog walkers. Don't need a leash if dog is well behaved. Some people are not very good with their dogs, so be prepared for strange dogs running up to you. If your dog is skittish or wary of other dogs , this might not be soothing. If your dog loves to play with other dogs, this place could be good. It's up to the dog and the owner.

Great to have Movie Theaters back as the pandemic moves along. They don't allow food or drinks... snack bar closed and you are not allowed to bring anything in. Seating is spaced out... wipes everywhere... you need to wear a mask during the film. I've gone 3 times over the past month and the place has been VERY quiet. Guess people don't see the benefit vs. the risk. Love this theater still... great seats... reserve on line.
