We wanted some real history with facts and narratives and you get it here. We learned about the 4 generations of Adams'. Toured their homes and saw how they lived. Really learned about their love of our country. I don't think I've ever been through a tour that touched on that so much before. It was truly refreshing and inspirational. Quincy is a little bit of a drive outside Boston. I think it's worth it. The town is quite nice as well. A good trip. I have 2 teens. The first part of the tour was kind of "blah" for them, but the second half made up for it. Trick here: ASK QUESTIONS! If you see something, don't assume they will tell you about it. Ask! The guides know so much about this house and to make a tour that fits everyone can make it bland. So please ask questions. They are happy to share what they know. They have little gems about the house too.

This North Weymouth peninsula jets out into Boston Harbor with views of Hingham, Worlds End, Boston Harbor islands, Quincy and Boston. On a clear day you can see past Logan. Trails are will maintained. You can choose hills or flat surfaces and lots of short side trails off the beaten path. There is a gazebo and charcoal grills at the entrance. So many varieties of birds make this park home and a bird watcher would quite enjoy it.

Rolling hills and rocky shorelines offer sweeping views of the Boston skyline, while tree-lined carriage paths designed by famed landscape architect Frederick Law Olmsted make delightful walking trails.
Reviewed By Stewart T - Boston, Massachusetts
Unfortunately scores of people, lines of cars waiting to get in, barking dogs and loud chatter makes this place as pleasurable as a shopping mall at year end.
If you want a relaxing and quiet stroll in nature, try and get there before 10am or go somewhere else.

This family farm is a good place for homemade ice cream and we often take the grand-kids there when they visit. Inside the store vegetables in season are very expensive. There are cows available for the children to look at while eating their ice cream.

BEAUTIFUL! The beach is great to walk along for shells and sea glass. Sidewalks to walk along the sea wall when the tide is up. Benches to sit and watch the sunrise or set.

These seven thousand acres span six Massachusetts cities and towns.

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.
7. United First Parish Church
Overall Ratings
4.5 based on 107 reviews
United First Parish Church (also known as The Church of the Presidents) has a rich history in both the social and religious community. Our church is the burial place of presidents John Adams and John Quincy Adams and their wives Abigail Adams and Louisa Catherine Adams.
Reviewed By Michelle L - Boston, Massachusetts
This is a lovely place to visit. There are volunteer docents who walk you through the church, show you models of the older church and provide interesting pieces of information. President John Adams (2nd US president and the 1st US vice- president; under George Washington), his son John Quincy Adams (6th US president) and their wives are interred in the lower level of the church. It is an amazing piece of US history and should not be missed.

OASIS DAY SPA offers the finest holistic spa services in a peaceful environment in the historic Fogg Opera Hall just 20 minutes south of Boston. Online booking and e-cards are available.
Reviewed By Sandra G - Boston, Massachusetts
Oasis Day Spa is superb. You wouldn't expect to find such an excellent spa outside of the city, but I like Oasis Day Spa better than any of the expensive spas in Boston. I like the atmosphere (quiet and lovely) and the attention to detail. Wanda is my very favorite for a manicure and pedicure -- they even do a hot stone massage during a pedicure! I travel about 30 minutes from my house to go there and would not make a reservation anyplace else when "home." I have tried the massage (which was good but not great - slightly disappointing but i will try again) and am about to make an appointment for a facial. I can't say enough good things about OASIS DAY SPA.

We can't speak much for the park as we only slept here, but the non-electric campsite facilities were fantastic. Well-maintained campsites that are drive-up, and the showers and bathrooms are clean and didn't run out of soap or toilet paper even with several visitors. The staff all seemed friendly!

Barrel House Z is a serious micro-brewery pub. Well, serious with regard to creating interesting brews. When I dropped by, I was greeted by a friendly young woman who was well versed in brewing techniques and barrel House Z current offerings. I was offered several "samples" to get an idea of their finely crafted products. The brews are aged in "liquor barrels"; the barrels enhance the flavor and complexity of the bres. Once a barrel is used, it is then retired. So, these brew batches are quite unique. The location is tucked away in a jumbled area of business/small factories. When you enter the establishment, it's a nice surprise and very inviting. barrel House Z hosts a number of events and it's a nice place to gather with friends and sample the brews, It appears that it's a great spot for watching "the big game" on a large screen. I meant to inqure about food and I'm not sure if there are offerings... I was focused on the brewing process and I purchased a couple of brew to take with be in both "growelers" and "crawlers"...if I have that right. If you are looking for something different to explore and you enjoy a great brew...check this place out...It's definitely a fun and friendly spot to gather and enjoy a "micro brew escape"... :0)...
