Dr. Seuss National Memorial Sculpture Garden

Bring the kids to this outdoor sculpture garden where the Cat in the Hat, the Grinch, and other beloved Dr. Seuss characters are immortalized in bronze, life-size statues all designed by Geisel's step-daughter, sculptor Lark Grey Dimond-Cates.

Reviewed By RogueTrippers - Guelph, Canada

The Dr. Seuss National Memorial Sculpture Garden has been a must-stop destination on every single one of our Roadtrips through Massachusetts for years. We never miss an opportunity to visit, and take photos with some of our favourite characters from the beloved books of Dr Seuss. This a beautiful place to spend some time. the sculptures are perfectly created in the exact likeness you would expect. You will find Thing 1 & 2, Horton, Thidwick the big-hearted moose, Sam I Am, The grinch & his dog max, The Cat in the hat, and Maizy la bird. You can pose for photos with your favourite characters, but be warned - on a hot day, the sculptures get hot as well, and can burn bear skin. We learned this the hard way. The Museum has taken to cordoning off the sculptures with warnings about this. Since June 2017, there is even more of a reason to visit the sculpture garden, as now there is the Amazing World of Dr Seuss museum - which is an absolute must for everyone to see. If you are on a road trip through MA, make sure you stop in the Springfield and visit the Dr Seuss National Memorial Sculpture Garden, and Dr Seuss Museum.

Magic Wings Butterfly Conservatory and Gardens

Reviewed By JoelW648 - Rhinebeck, United States

No matter how long it may take you to get to Magic Wings, I promise you will not be disappointed! Thousands of butterflies along with a bunch of birds, reptiles, and beautiful flowering plants will wow people of all ages. Sunny days are best as the butterflies are more active when it is sunny. Okay to visit this totally climate controlled environment all year long and enjoy the experience. Children will be delighted when a butterfly lands on them making for great candid shots. Bring a camera!

Ever since we found this place, we can’t stop eating their corn. We eat corn 5-6 days every week, because it’s there, and we crave it. A light steam , a hint of butter, and salt and pepper to your taste, makes this corn obsessive ! We’ve been buying their berries for years, but our corn we always got at Jasmine Farms in Southwick. (They went out of business last year.) So now it’s a one stop process. Right now the blueberries are plump and sweet. Yum. And the tomatoes are coming into their prime. Bottom line, the corn is 5 star ! ⭐️ ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
