👍 A nice nature habitat right outside of Boston. The trails were easy to walk, especially if you have toddlers or babies. The trails were well marked and easy to follow, not much in the way of birds in mid February, but the kids and I saw three deer on the property. The goats were in the barn till spr...

Earthplace

Nature preserve

😠 It's definitely a cool place. The employees are all lovely, especially the young girls who greet you when you first walk through the door. However, our experience was completely ruined by a brute of a woman named BRIDGET who works there. We watched in horror as she absolutely berated and belittled...
