What to do and see in Feeding Hills, United States: The Best Places and Tips

August 25, 2017 Phylicia Berquist

Feeding Hills is a section of the city of Agawam with its own ZIP code (01030) and post office. Line Street in Agawam is generally accepted by residents as being the unofficial border. In the early to mid-19th century, a ditch was dug here to separate the two sections. Feeding Hills contains one quarter of the total population, as well as Provin Mountain, the highest point in the town, and many moderate-sized farms.

Springfield Armory National Historic Site

This Armory, which manufactured and tested firearms for the U.S. military from 1794 to 1968, houses the country's largest collection of small weapons. While the first floor is free, there's a fee for the second floor, which displays rare weapons and the largest collection of Confederate weapons anywhere.

Reviewed By Chipperhigh2 - Okemos, Michigan

Have not been to Springfield Armory Museum in over 30 years. The National Park Service has done a very nice job with the displays. Many of the machine guns on displays were stored for years in the basement. I hope they continue to improve. A valuable tribute to our fighting men and the men who designed weapons for them. Worth stopping to enjoy. Good for the entire family. The museum is free, but a small donation is welcomed.

Stanley park

Reviewed By PekepooEmma

My mother, Norma Hopper, who just recently “passed over” used to playing “the bells” in the carillon tower for years & years! She also played at all weddings during that time period! Before that I visited Stanley Park, as a young child w/ my “NANA”, Winifred Roberts! It was a good fifty plus years ago when there was just a “weeded path” around the lake, in those days! My grandmother adored it, my mother did and so do I! How far The is beautiful park has come, from those “early days” is amazing! They offer so many fee services, activities and fun things for the community, that it is amazing! I bring our grandsons here for free concerts onnearly Friday mornings in the summer! Thee many concerts( DONNA LEE, TOUCH OF ELVIS, DIAMOND COLLECTION & on & on in summer) are truly fantastic & all free! The park itself is breathtakingly( no charge either to enter park or use any of their beautiful picnic tables, grills and fantastic playground for children( you can rent enclosed patios for children’s parties or celebrations! The park itself w/ rose gardens, Japanese gardens, beautiful wooden pathway around pond(s) is absolutely beautiful! The trees, the fountains, the beauty stays with you long after you leave this beautiful park! My heart cries for my mother but somehow, walking this beautiful park, I know she lives on, I feel close to her here!

Six Flags New England

Largest family theme park in New England features eight thrilling megacoasters and Hurricane Harbor, a water park with nine tube slides and a 500,000-gallon wave pool.

Reviewed By DisFam17 - Worcester, Massachusetts

We attended the first ever Holiday in the Park for Six Flags New England last night, and had a blast. Admission was free because we had already purchased annual passes a month ago (which were less expensive than a single day ticket: anticipate huge crowds next year!). They have Disney-style busses to transfer you from the parking lot, which was much better than walking in the cold to the entrance. Once we passed the gate, the kiddie train ride through store-bought snowmen and reindeer was a low-capacity, slightly amusing train wreck (ha!). The entrance corridor through the park, though, was an eye-popping light show coordinated with holiday music: amazing! Most of the rides still running were kiddie rides (perfect for our family), with I believe one thrill ride open for the older set. Crowds were manageable, except at indoor eateries: the lines built up quickly and never seemed to decrease. Speaking of the food: I've been to Disney, Universal, and just about everywhere you can buy a slice of pizza and a burger, and I've never seen such high prices for such tiny portions. We're talking burnt-looking pizza slices, half-size cheesy breadsticks, OK-tasting ziti and meatballs, at $12-$15 per person. They ran out of several items by 6:00 pm, but this was the first night, so they will probably learn from this experience. Back to the good stuff though: the carnival games had some guaranteed winner-type games like water guns and balloon popper, and you could roast marshmallows for s'mores over open fires for $5 (a bargain, comparatively). There were plenty of fire columns behind glass to warm you between attractions. Fake snow sprayed us near the theater, which was supposed to show a Cirque show at 7:30 pm but informed us at 7:45 that it would actually be happening at 8:00. Photo ops with stilt-walkers helped us pass the time in line, but by then we were too exhausted and cold to continue. We limped back to the car with our plush animal winnings, souvenirs, and photos with Sylvester and Tweety, slightly amazed that we could have this experience in New England in the middle of Winter.

Stopped here while on a brewery tour of western Mass. They had a good beer selection which was very enjoyable.

We had lunch before arriving so we didn't try any of the food. It smelled amazing. We will definitely be back for lunch and more beer.

New England Air Museum

The New England Air Museum houses over 80 aircraft in three large hangars and outdoor display area, as well as an extensive collection of engines, instruments, aircraft parts, uniforms and personal memorabilia. Plan a visit today to check out exciting aircraft, displays, exhibits and programs that are perfect for all ages!

Reviewed By Amberjack03 - Brooklyn, Connecticut

Once you've paid the very reasonable admission fee, you enter the first room where right in front of you are all kinds of Viet Nam era warplanes and various helicopters. The second room provides you with more aircraft to view and in some cases, stand right up next to the cockpits for a good birds-eye view of what the pilots would see. The third room houses only a few planes but is the best example I've ever seen of a pristine condition B-29 Bomber and a couple of other propeller driven small planes. Overall, a great place to spend a couple of hours viewing the flying machines. The gift shop is quite filled with books, souveniers, and other memorabilia of the machines and military.

Robinson isn't great if you want a park to entertain your kids. But if you want to take your dog for a walk there's a paved road to travel with hills and river scenery. Or you could follow the trails into the woods for hiking and biking.

Reviewed By 250crystalp - New York

Out of state visitors pay an inclusive fee to see all 5 museums...for us it was 86 dollars which included the 30 minute planetarium experience ( two adults and two teens). It was well worth it! Friendly staff, beautiful buildings,cool exhibits! Tons of interactive things that younger kids would enjoy. Learned tons about Springfield itself. A must visit!

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 Richard_Harpum - Doncaster, United Kingdom

My wife and I visited the Dr Seuss National Memorial Sculpture Garden in Springfield, Massachusetts, during a tour of New England. We decided to go, as it was recommended in our guide book.
There is a small parking lot opposite the museum and the sculpture display consists of a series of bronze sculptures that were made by Dr Seuss’s step-daughter. Some, like the elephant are quite large.
Next to the garden is the Dr Seuss Museum (“The Amazing World of Dr Seuss”). We did not have time to visit that but for Dr Seuss buffs, it is probably essential viewing.
A fun place to visit if you are visiting Springfield.

Storrowton Village Museum

Restored New England village features several buildings (circa 1767-1850), which were dismantled, moved and reassembled to create a living historic museum.

Reviewed By scoutdreams - Estero, FL

Foresight 80 plus years ago brought many historic buildings to a common place to share with the public. I have only been here when the fair is open and this along with the Avenue of States (right across the street) is my favorite parts of the Big E.
Take the time to walk through and read and hear about the history of each of the building making up this "town".
There are plenty of artisans selling their products as well as some working their skills in plain site.
A must see.
