Great little shops to stroll thru: a framers market and then a bakery/snadwich type place and we went on a Saturday AM and they had a duo performing as well. What's not to like

A National Historic Landmark, the Slater Mill is a living history museum and educational center.
Reviewed By 612BarbaraH612 - Worcester, United States
We stopped at Slater Mill to check out the southern end of the Blackstone River Valley National Historic Park. We started at the Slater Mill visitor center, but the docent there suggested we start at another visitor center across the street from the mill complex. We started there, looking at their posters and timeline. Then we watched a short video which provided another level of information specific to the mills that were built along the river. We returned to Slater Mill and the docent, Dee, took us on an excellent tour of the 3 historic buildings in the mill area: the Sylvanus Brown House, the Wilkinson Mill and the Slater Mill. There is a lot to see and learn here, so allow plenty of time and ask lots of questions!

Lincoln Woods is a wonderful local gem that has a little something for everyone - hiking, fishing, swimming, open spaces, picnic sites, even kayaking, canoeing and SUP - you can rent gear at the boathouse.

After 18 months of virtual museum visits I have finally made a real trip to the museum where I spent four hours. It is funny how I travel all over the world and miss out on spectacular treasures in my own neck of the woods. So today I ventured to the Worcester Museum of Fine Arts (40 minutes drive from my house) and enjoyed its fantastic collection of paintings, antiquities and decorative art. The museum owns phenomenal El Greco’s “Mary Magdalene”, Claude Monet’s “Waterloo Bridge” and yet another version of his “Lilies”, this time in pale pink, stunning “Golfe Juan” by Paul Signac, Gauguin’s “Brooding Woman”... just to name a few... Some of the most remarkable treasures of this fantastic museum are its huge mosaics from Antioch (the lost ancient city) and its meticulously rebuilt 12th century Chapter House of the Benedictine Priory of Saint John at Le Bas-Nueil. Also, I was lucky to see two very interesting exhibitions: “The Art of Kimono” and “What the Nazis Stole from Richard Neumann”. The latter presents 14 paintings and sculptures from the once extensive art collection of Dr. Richard Neumann. They were regained by Dr.Neumann’s family after 75 years of tireless efforts to get them back.

We visit this park to walk our dogs outside of our usual routine. It has a great path, and tons of open space. Recommend for people with pets, families with children, or just looking for a nice green open space.

This beautifully restored theater has great seating options for shows. Being a smaller venue keeps you close to the action.

This place made me So Hoppy! We had a couple of beer flights to sample their goods. My husband and I enjoyed most of them, which is a plus for a local brewery. Their signature beer, So Hoppy, was easy to drink on their outdoor patio. Loved their attitude and swag!

Our Cub Scout pack spent the night here and what a memorable experience for the kids!! The staff was friendly, knowledgeable, and ran a tight ship, which was exactly what our group needed. Ours was the space themed program and the planetarium was a great space to learn interesting facts about our solar system. The staff also engaged the kids with great activities (including an egg drop!) and there was plenty of time to explore this very interactive museum. It was a great space to sleepover as well - our family slept near the turtles and opossum, others slept in the darkness of the Africa room, and those who preferred more like slept near more open spaces. Each was located very near super clean bathrooms- a must for an overnight adventure with 20 6-11 year olds!
