Weekend With The Kids In Worcester

My husband's family has strong roots in Worcester so I have learned of all the great family friendly places scattered throughout the Big Woo. Here are a few that have been kid tested and approved.

Maxwell Silverman's Restaurant
This restaurant facility is housed in an old toolhouse factory with great exposed brick and funky artifacts of decor. They serve a very yummy brunch on Sundays upstairs in Club Maxine's that looks fancy and tastes awesome but is a casual environment where the kiddos can be just as happy as mom and dad.

Higgins Armory Museum
Armor. Weapons of Medieval Destruction. Ancient Tapestries. Oh, and you get to try some of them on and watch weaponry demonstrations. There are so many ongoing programs and exhibits I guarantee children and adults alike will be fascinated.

The AHL Worcester Sharks play their hockey games at the DCU Center and it is a family affair.

EcoTarium
This place is wicked cool! It's a zoo. It's a science museum. It's a planetarium. It is everything you could ever need to educate and entertain your kids under one roof - and sometimes under the bright blue sky. An indoor/outdoor museum encouraging hands-on discovery.

DCU Center
The AHL Worcester Sharks play their hockey games at the DCU Center and it is a family affair. Cheap tickets (especially on Sundays), kid-friendly giveaways and entertainment make it a safe bet that they'll enjoy the action on the ice and in the stands.

Courtyard by Marriott Worcester
Very accommodating for families - both in rates and in amenities. There is an indoor pool that is open late and spacious rooms. Breakfast is not included though there is a restaurant on site. Overall great value in a clean, family friendly chain.
