Hard to say without knowing what your interests are. Do you have to go to Worcester anyway and are deciding if you're staying longer? If so, there's definitely stuff to do. Coming here in Winter just because? There might be better places to go within 80 minutes this time of year.

The Worcester Art Museum is quite nice.

If you have kids, EcoTarium is great; my son and I go there a lot.

Tower Hill Botanic Garden is nice, but you'll be missing most of it in Winter.

Most definitely yes! There's a small museum all about Worcester which is worth seeing. It won't take long to go through and it's pretty inexpensive. You'd be surprised by the historic significance of either the city or things that happened in the city over the ages.There are historic homes if you're into that kind of thing. I find the architecture of the downtown and some of the other areas pretty cool. There are some really beautiful buildings all over the city. Worcester has a big revolutionary war history if you're into that. There's also significant native american history in Worcester that is not talked about very much. Worcester has some outstanding parks and a lot of green space if you're into hiking, walking, etc. You could easily spend a day doing historical touring or a day doing cultural things or even a day at a minor league baseball game and eating your way through the city. It's a big city
