I can buy a starter home in Worcester or a giant 5 bedroom house in Springfield. Lol

Brookfield Orchards in North Brookfield. It's a classic New England apple orchard with apple picking, hay rides, a huge general store, and some really nice food! I went there every Fall growing up. I have a lot of great memories playing at the playground and climbing apple trees. It's about 20-30 mins West of Worcester off of Route 9.

I just moved to the Springfield area, from Boston.

Old Sturbridge village has an AWESOME indoor pretend play area. My kids would spend hours there fully occupied when they were that age.

Chuck E. Cheese is underrated. And ultimate obstacles in west boylston could also be fun.

The museum is extremely kid friendly. I would not worry about it at all

Tougas Farm in Northborough. Take the kids apple picking. There are a bunch of animals and a playground too.

Parker power equipment in Holden is super reasonable. They have picked up and service my snowblower in the past for less than $200 including pickup, parts and labor.

Just went to Lilac Hedge Farm in Rutland. They have yard games and animals for the kids to look and feed (free). There is a farm stand/bar/food and a hay ride for $3. It was cute and low cost.

Can you recommend one of these places? In my experience the fee is not usually small.

I haven’t been in Worcester County long, but everywhere else I’ve lived has a handful of mobile mechanics who do small engine repair/service. It’s a thing.

The American Heritage Museum in Stowe, MA.

The Freeplay arcade is a bar/arcade that's normally 21+, but once a month they have an all ages family day. 10 dollar entry fee and all the games are free to play

Shrewsbury Lawnmower Service

I would highly recommend Pyramids for disc golf. Has a huge store, go pick up a cheap disc for each one of you (putter definitely recommended to start) or ask one of the staff, they’re great, and it’s cheap to play. Have a blast throwing plastic through the woods and get a solid walk in.

Cool never even thought of a place like the YMCA.

I'd be scared to take a 5 and 3 year old here haha. They like to touch stuff!

Sweet! Will check this place out this is exactly the time of stuff I was looking for.

Petting zoo at Green Hill Park, there's also a playground right there

And they have a beer garden

Lot's of good events happening at Mt. Wachusett all October: https://www.wachusett.com/Events-Park/On-Mountain-Events/Event-Calendar.aspx

I took my 4 year old to School Yahd a few times last winter and he always had a great time.

I'm assuming the DA is doing due diligence and checking back on every case these officers were involved in to check for accuracy .....

Right?

I've heard the EcoTarium is good for kida
