We bought tickets online for the 9AM-12PM block and some of the more popular rooms did start to get busy but you could easily go to another room if it was crowded. I liked that there were "trashcans" for toys that needed to be cleaned to prevent the spreading of germs. Bathrooms had step stools and toilet seats for kids which was great to see. There was a little room for kids to have their snacks as well. Check out the events calendar online to see if there are any special visitors/groups. The day we went there were visitors that brought crabs/hermit crabs and a project to make robo crabs. I do wish they had a water fountain or water filling station.

They have several small rooms filled with toys and activities for kids. I would say this place is best for kids 3 to 6. I also wouldn't want to be here when it's packed because like I mentioned, it is small. We went at around 10:45 and spent an hour there because they close at 12 for lunch and then reopen at 1pm. One of the rooms was still under construction. My wife and I were very pleased with the bathroom having steps for kids to wash their hands at the sink, a small toilet seat for those who are potty training, and a changing table.

This review is regarding this venue as a wedding destination…read more This venue is picturesque however Tammy is rude and unprofessional and I would not recommend working with her to any bride.* This venue will NOT accommodate you in any way. You aren't allowed to bring any of your flowers/setup until 2PM the day of the wedding (have fun with that when the ceremony is at 4PM! I'm sure brides love running over with the event stuff right before their wedding). There is no reason for this other than the staff/Tammy refuse to arrive earlier to accommodate brides. Just know this prior to booking and be prepared to manage your day accordingly. There are very rude signs all over the event saying if there is outside alcohol, the event is immediately stopped. As in canceled. Stopped. Done. I don't think anyone minds that policy, but this is indicative of how rude the managers/owners of this property are. Here are some other interactions I witnessed: 1. The bride's mother was giving the venue the alcohol check the day off. When the bride's brothers arrived to decorate the arch, Tammy harangued them "Where's my check?" They had nothing to do with the payment and were simply trying to help their sister who of course couldn't come over to set up the wedding because the Tammy and staff don't open the barn before 2PM. When the brides mother arrived, Tammy ran to her car and didn't even let her out the door. "Where's my check?" Then proceeded to follow her until the poor woman (75 years old) fished the check out for her. Maybe the bride's mom was supposed to pay Tammy earlier, and I understand this is a business, but yikes. 2. As groomsmen and bridal party/family waited to go take pictures with the bride and stood in the main barn area, Tammy brought in a prospective couple who wanted to look at the venue and showed them around the barn and brought them to the set up table area. This was so unprofessional. We're literally minutes away from the ceremony. On top of that, I found out later that our bride wasn't allowed to tour the barn during the weekend/when events may be taking place back when she was thinking about booking, and had to take time off during the week in order to get a tour. So what the heck? 3. The groom asked for his favorite bottled beer to be stocked. During the event, Tammy was behind the bar and in front of many guests, saying "He didn't drink any of this damn beer and now we're stuck with it." Among other complaints. How unprofessional is this? You're paying them a lot of money. They should accommodate you and maybe wait until you leave to complain about you. I will say that as far as the organization during the event, Tammy did a nice job moving people around and getting everything to run smoothly. I'm just shocked that this venue with this organizer has won awards by yelp and other bridal organizations that it's a "Best of" place in MA to get married. Yes, it's very pretty, but isn't service and pleasantness a consideration? *Full transparency: I was not the bride at the wedding I attended here, I was family adjacent, but I witnessed the bride and her family and the interactions with Tammy all first hand.
