1. Boott Cotton Mills Museum
Overall Ratings
4.5 based on 115 reviews
This former textile mill is a reminder of the changes the Industrial Revolution brought to Lowell, and to America.
Reviewed By JRF-WS - Winston Salem, North Carolina
I have an even greater appreciation for fabric than I did before visiting. The effects of the cotton industry on women's rights, slavery, labor unions, and the Industrial Revolution are fascinating to explore. You get a small (but very loud) feel for what it was like to work in the cotton mills. Ranger Stephen, and the weavers in the mill room, are extremely knowledgable and passionate about the history of Lowell and the mills. So glad we stumbled on the opportunity to explore this important chapter of US History.

I have been here on several occasions. Whether it be date night with the lady, bowling with the friend, or grabbing a drink after work with the guys this place can pretty much cater to anyone. The food is good but basically what you would expect from a bowling alley. Arcade is really nice and uses the new type of load card instead of standard 1990 coin slots.
Have not tried the golf simulators but they are always booked up when I go, so it must be fun!
Make sure you are ready to spend some money though!
3. Addison Gallery of American Art
Overall Ratings
4.5 based on 98 reviews
The Addison Gallery is home to a world-class collection of American Art, along with a vital and adventurous exhibitions program. The museum is committed to serving the public through free admission and an education outreach program that reaches diverse audiences. The Addison’s size gives visitors an opportunity to experience its wide-ranging exhibitions in a more intimate setting than typical of larger museums. The Addison is just 30 minutes from Boston.

We came for a birthday party. All the kids had a blast. There are so many options, there is also dodge ball, basket ball a rock wall. Its just such a fun time. There are employees everywhere watching the kids making sure they are all playing and jumping safe. It also tires the kids out so that is a plus

This park commemorates Lowell's integral part in America's Industrial Revolution.
Reviewed By johnm01453 - Fitchburg, Massachusetts
I remember working in a spinning mill when I was younger. You hear the same noise and can understand what the people went through. The canal ride is a wonderful ride and they explain how Lowell utilized the river. Going thru the locks was fantastic.
6. Escapology Tewksbury
Overall Ratings
4.5 based on 26 reviews
Tewksbury's first real life escape game! Come and play one of our great games in a private team of 3-6 players. Search carefully for clues, solve the puzzles, unlock the locks and escape to freedom within 60 minutes!
Reviewed By LoriLovesFood - Lowell, Massachusetts
Christina was great when she helped us out when we visited during school vacation. My sister and I and our kids (ages 10 and 12) had a good time. The room we tried to escape from was called TH3 C0D3. Even though the kids struggled a bit, they really enjoyed doing it as well. I think we'll go back and try The Antidote room on a future visit.

A very nice lake in the middle of the residential area. There's also a park area to relax and enjoy the view. It was well kept and clean, nice clientele
8. Ward Reservation
Overall Ratings
4.5 based on 52 reviews
Climb a hill for great views extending from the surrounding Merrimack Valley to the Boston skyline, or explore this sprawling landscape along almost 10 miles of trails.
Reviewed By Nancy2005 - Brookline, Massachusetts
This is an interesting and demanding urban preserve. We hiked for about 4 miles on a warm day, then headed off to North Andover for a late lunch. We especially liked Rubbish Meadow with its Great Blue Heron rookery and other nesting birds. It is worth returning to in other seasons.
One small problem is that the map and signage are not well aligned with each other. It is easy to go astray but backtracking works ok.
9. Public Health Museum

Reviewed By Tonsoffuntravel
This small museum should delight anyone interested in health, medicine, or history. I recommend, a tour of the old Tewksbury hospital grounds, which is offered occasionally. The museum is run by very knowledgeable, enthusiastic volunteers. If you don't spend some time talking with them you'll be missing the best part of the museum.
10. LeLacheur Park

Reviewed By rockcreek_md - Washington DC, District of Columbia
Nothing like minor league summer baseball. Sometimes it's good, sometimes it's bad, but it's always fun!
The Spinners staff does a good job keeping a balance between serious baseball watching and a "whatever" atmosphere. Tickets are inexpensive, food is reasonably priced, and there are distractions for kids and silly mid-inning promotions. On Taco Tuesday, a chili pepper and a taco raced around the warning track in go-karts.
If you can't love that, you need help.
