Came here in late Feb while visiting family and friends and there was still some snow from the previous week which made some of the rocks quite slippery, so make sure you wear suitable boots at this time of year as there was also a lot of water from melting.
The trail we used was great fun as it wound it's way between the rocks and there are some great views of Boston and the surrounding coast and countryside.
If you enjoy walking with a little rock climbing then this is a must when visiting the area.

I brought a group of >10 there last night. I was really impressed with the organization and high awareness of our group's needs throughout the night from several staff members. Amanda & Molly, our servers, were especially helpful and added some humor along the way. They were there when we needed them but not hovering...what more could you ask for.
The facility is very clean, very modern...hardly would know you were in a bowling alley, as the Kings design concept is clearly more-than a bowling alley.
Booking, ordering, and execution were all on point that left our group feeling like it was a relaxing and enjoyable evening. Extra kudos for dealing with dietary restrictions for the group as well with clarity & compassion.

Stroll meandering pathways and cross artisan-built stone bridges at this family-friendly park of open fields, groves of trees, and frog ponds.
Reviewed By dave d - Bradford, Massachusetts
I did a nice 3 mile run around the park which basically meant I ran on every trail. There is a nice network of trails, some stone, some dirt, some grass. You can wander all around the park and never get too far from where you parked. There were a lot of interesting bridges and the gates at different entrances were unusual. I used the port-a-john near the tennis courts and was happily surprised to find one of the cleanest public restrooms I've ever used (and I'm out there a LOT). :-)

A coworker organized a glass blowing party here at Luke Adams Glass, and we had a great time. The staff assist you with creating a beautiful glass pumpkin, paper weight, jewelry, or some other kind of item. With their assistance you are able to learn the ropes and create a beautiful product at the end...safely. We had a great time and I love the glass items they create here.

The name says it -- tree top adventures climbing and balancing and zipping, all with an amazing safety system automated so any age, any language speaker can enjoy the experience. It is physically and mentally challenging, and each person can choose his or her own difficulty level, although everyone must do easy to intermediate before expert. It is like an aerial obstacle course with zipping and a few rappelles. Go off peak for lower wait times (price breaks for evening and groups of ten or more). The price is worth it, divided over all the hours of adventure! I went with three other adults and six kids ages 11-15 and everyone loved it. Enthralling respite from brain-oriented daywork!

On a last minute plan my friends and I attended Beauty and the Beast at Dedham's Cinema De Lux at Legacy Place. The cinema is adjacent the free parking garage, so it is very convenient. I order tickets on line to avoid lines at the theater and so I can pick my seat.
The service at the Lux Level was great and attentive. Snacks and drinks were very good and priced reasonably. The quality of the chairs, sound, AV and cleanliness was outstanding.
Additionally, go see the movie! It is one of the best I've seen in years and I did not expect it.

My husband and I came here for the first time. We never saw it before the expansion but it was pretty big which was great. They have some picnic tables inside and then some seats around the edge. It's a big warehouse where you can see all the cans and the tanks. A huge screen was showing The Office with subtitles. There was a game of corn hole going on. The guy serving told us we could taste anything for free to make sure we liked it before committing. We tried a few and then each got 3 of the 4 oz size. I had the lager, the chuck and the coconut porter. They were all good. My husband got the IPAs. He liked them all as well. The only thing that I thought could be improved upon was the food. You could get pretzels...a large bag of hard pretzels. A family near us got a large bag of tortilla chips and a container of guac like you'd buy at the super market. I'm not sure why they bothered with that. I'd suggest either having free nibbles or just stick with the food trucks. They did have one of those there when we went.

In our new flight simulation center south of Boston you can be the captain of a top of the line Boeing 737ng simulator where every knob, switch, gauge and lever work just like in a the real aircraft. With an amazing true 220° multi projection vision system, it won't be long before you'll forget you are not really in the air! Our instructors are real pilots who will be happy to be your CO's

My dad tried out the 737 simulator at this location. He’s tried this at another location, but this place was definitely the best! The difference was even more than “night and day”. The instructor Alec was amazingly smart and a great teacher. He took the time to explain the reasons for every action. Will definitely be going back again! Me and my husband got to observe the whole flight too which was really fun :)
Thanks for a great time!

Strategic parking is paramount as the stores are scattered. Parking is limited so if the weather is poor, you'll be walking a lot or fighting for spots. If you know the stores you want to hit and where to go, you'll save yourself a lot of aggregation. Definitely more upscale than most malls

Reviewed By biztrav123 - Avon, CT
I've usually stopped at Fort Point to pick up beer from Trillium on my way outta Logan, but decided to come here after visiting Tree House brewing, in Charlton. Worth the extra drive for me! They had a broad array of beers available in the tap room and, between us, my wife and I had 4 sample pours of 5oz.
Trillium is big on the IPA's...most of their volume is in a variety of IPA's...but they make great Stouts and gose. Their Trillwater gose may be the best I've ever had. Fantastic.
Large tap room, but not too much seating or even tables to lean on. Frequently has food trucks outside (a Felafel truck the day we were there). Lots of dogs...I don't understand the whole hipster bring my dog to a crowded taproom full of other dogs thing, but, hey, I guess that is my problem.
