Central Massachusetts offers a very different mix of attractions, so you can explore the vibrant city center and immediately head to an idyllic farm for a cozy hayride cruise. Thrilling live entertainment (from theater shows to minor league sporting events) and colorful delicacies await your exploration.

Worcester city culture and family-friendly surrounding Tours

New England's second largest city is full of surprises. Head to Polar Park (Polar Park) for a Worcester Red Sox Minor league baseball game, then simply head along the way to the EcoTarium Museum of Natural Sciences, where you'll explore three floors of indoor interactive exhibits and stroll the nature trails outside for a unique, immersive experience.

The New England Arboretum in Tower Hill (Tahir) is bursting with colors, and the Southwick Zoo has hundreds of animal habitats to indulge in the wonderful nature.

New England Road Trip: Metropolitan Boston and an outdoor adventure with fresh air

Just between Boston and Worcester, there's a hideaway full of outdoor charm. Start at Seed Johnny's Visitor Center in Lancaster and learn the story of folk hero John Chapman, who helped lay the foundations of American agriculture by recommending apple saplings to experimental farmers. You can witness his success at various local farms, picking apples, flowers and other fruits by hand.

Many farms welcome fall with hayride cruises and apple juice donuts, such as Bolton Orchard Orchard in Bolton and Carlson Orchard Orchard in Harvard. The Red Apple Farm Farm in Phillipson (Phillipson) has opened a brewing barn brewery on site, welcoming adults of drinking age to sample beer and homemade cider and enjoy the natural offerings of the area all year round.

Around Boston: Cherry picking on a niche farm
Due to the increasingly outrageous Tougas and Parlee fees, other niche farms were developed this weekend.

Brooksby Farm is a farm based with slices of apples, peaches, blueberries, raspberries and more. Compared with the Tougas and Parlee's easy pick out, there are many cherries on the cherry tree into the cherry orchard, the first few older trees fruit is relatively small, the taste is also general, you can go a walk, there are some special for people to pick young trees.

The fruit varies in size, but you can find larger ones by walking around. But sometimes the big flavor is weak, and some smaller flavors are stronger. But overall, the cherries don't feel very sweet this year.

The fees are reasonable (see chart 8), and the farmer doesn't seem to have done much marketing, so many of the cherries on the tree feel like they're going to rot in the ground... In addition to cherries, raspberries have started picking and it feels like their blueberries will be ready to start picking soon too!

Working as a farm, there isn't a lot of fun for kids, and there are some weird animals (including an ostrich)... Maybe that's why it's not as popular with kids as some other farms.

It's also not as diverse as the Ward Berry Farm I've written about twice before, and there's a farm shop, but it's not as funny as the Ward Farm looks. However, if you just want to take children to pick, it is relatively close to the city, the price is very reasonable, the orchard environment is also good, but also can be considered.
