This bucket list is your ultimate guide for how to make the most of Central Mass in late Fall. 

  1. Explore Old Sturbridge Village. Stop by the gift shop to find a puzzle to bring home and put together with the family.
  2. Head to Purgatory Chasm State Reservation in Sutton. This is perfect for families with older kids who are able to climb over rocks. 
  3. Spend the morning at the Dean Park Playground in Shrewsbury. Walk around the lake and trails for beautiful views of the foliage.
  4. Stop by Mass Audobon’s Broad Meadow Brook Conservation Center in Worcester, for short and accessible trails. Challenge young children to see how many colorful leaves they can collect.
  5. Visit the Ecotarium in Worcester. Little kids will be excited to take a ride on the outdoor train.  
  6. Take a hike at Upton State Forest. This is one of the most beautiful hiking areas in the Fall. 
  7. Feed the animals, enjoy the playground, and pick late season apples at Tougas Family Farm in Northborough. 
  8. Find your bearings as you navigate through the Little Hedge Maze at Honey Pot Hill Orchards in Stow. Don’t forget to grab an apple cider donut (or a dozen) before you leave. 
  9. Pick up a seasonal donut at Glazy Susan in Worcester (vegan options available!) before heading out for a leisurely stroll at Green Hill Park
  10. Spend a few hours exploring Tower Hill Botanic Garden. Be sure to grab your tickets for Night Lights 2021, starting in late November.
