Springfield, Massachusetts offers endless fun for all ages. Visit the Zoo in Forest Park, burst into action on the Connecticut River Walk and Bikeway, or cultivate a love of culture at the Springfield Museums at the Quadrangle.
Roar into excitement when you take the family to the Zoo in Forest Park. Stalk wild cats, look for lemurs, or run into an attractive peacock. Give your child the chance to explore the zoo with the experts at an educational camp taught by staff. Connect kids with nature and literature at the same time during the zoo's Animal Tales program, and then hop back onto the hunt for dozens of other creatures featured in the park.
Step into adventure at the Connecticut River Walk and Bikeway. Gear up for family fun when you and the kids bike the afternoon away on one of the paved paths. Trek under the trees on wooded nature trails. Pause in wonder gazing at the gorgeous scenic overlooks or bask in the glory of a sunny day at one of the nearby beaches. Kids can build sandcastles and swim while parents make picnic lunches to share in the shade. Then bolt back down the path while the river rolls along next to you for a little added exercise.
Unleash your child's thirst for learning at Springfield Museums at the Quadrangle, where five different museums in one region offer a rich world of exploration. Unfold the mysteries of ancient paper art at the museum's exhibit showing modern origami. Slip into science discovery at the Springfield Science Museum. Nurture your budding Picassos when the whole family delights in the artwork and hands-on art programs offered at the George Walter Vincent Smith Art Museum.
