We were there while a basketball game was going on so most parking spots were filled. They sell some Holy Cross gear right when you walk into the complex so you have options in case you don't have anything when you go to a game! They concession stand was closed.

The service is very friendly, many of the employees are students. You pick up an order slip as you come in, and specify what you want. Then you hand your slip to the server. Pizza is good. Thin crust. Good sauce and cheese. I would like to see a few more toppings on top when ordered.

Polar Park is a must-do in Worcester!…read more From the Boo at the Woo to the Worcester Red Sox minor league games, it is always a fun time and it is super family friendly. On a recent baseball game, I saw the Friday night fireworks that accompanied each home game. Now, I am glad that i don't live next door to Polar Park because those fireworks went for a long time. The quality of the field and experience is the same as Fenway with a small percentage of the price. I had the opportunity to be on the suite level with the DCU club and have visit the boardroom space. Every time I visit this park during a game day or other event it is well maintained.

I was trying to treat our entire department crew to a fun night out and not have to worry/pay for Boston parking so I figured Worcester might be easier. It was like pulling teeth trying to book a "luxury" suite. The greenhorn "representative" constantly had to be corrected about the game dates and then wanted me to pay without seeing an agreement. Lo and behold, the price was way more than I was quoted over the phone. All set, WooSox and Polar Park. Good luck with your ridiculously high prices. You realize you're a triple A operation and not on Lansdowne St., right? I miss the PawSox...

Worcester, Massachusetts a little bit of unknown fun and our first time here…read more As we were exploring the area around the convention center we ventured to Elm Street and started walking . The streets are so quiet and peaceful here. Each little event is marked with some sort of celebration of history. Then we found the historical significance museum . We are definitely going in . Oh my, the museum was "free to get in and explore. " Who would have known that Worcesters world was not so small after all . It was interesting to think about. Going all the way back to 1840, the monkey wrench was created by Loring Coe in 1840. Shredded Wheat cereal was created by Henry Perky in 1895. The National Women's Rights Convention was first held in Worcester in 1850 with Susan B Anthony attending. The first Valentine Day cards were mass produced here by Esther Howland in 1847. In 1914 the liquid fueled rocket patent by Dr Robert Goddard was issued the very first one . The "smiley face" created by Harvey Ball in 1963 was kicked off . At the museum here they break down each era of Worcesters beginning and outline what happened in that specific period of time. It a chronological masterpiece. In the displays many things have been featured. Make sure and take a piece home of history with you and visit the small area that is the gift shop. Many items aside from the "Smiley Face," were made by local artists. Thank you to the staff and the city of Worcester for all their knowledge and smiles!

Such an underrated gem of Worcester :)…read more Heard about the free admission for everyone until January in honor of a long time Museum Trustee. I was amazed and fell in love with all things Worcester! I had no idea of all the wonderful inventions & creations it had to offer as well as the well informed museum hosts who were so well educated on the history and facts about the museum. So very fortunate to have visited this museum and have even more appreciation for the Worcester community.

We were a bit early for the tour and waited in the hallway until tour time began. One other gentleman joined the tour on this weekday visit. The house was moved from down the hill to it's current location in 1929 leaving behind a kitchen addition and outbuilding. Originally the home was mostly a store with a ground floor kitchen and living quarters over head. Later, the shop space was turned into a small office, central staircase, hallway, dining room and parlor as it is today displayed. The tour included information about the original owners family and their impact on the City of Worcester. The building was temporarily used as rental property, one of which was a men's club who tore down walls to build a bowling alley. Because why not? The museum has restored that area to be as close to period as possible. Some items in the home are original to the family, including a beautiful harp. Other items in the home are appropriate to the period and include some beautiful dresses, furniture and artwork from one of the gentleman's 'tour of the Continent'. One fun piece on display is a Lego mock-up of the home. The tour guide is very knowledgeable and friendly. Parking is located next to the building. I'm not sure if it's wheelchair accessible due to it's age. There certainly is no elevator to reach the upper level and the staircase is steep. Some of the wall paper has been reproduced from pieces found during renovation and the lower level floors covered in a reproduced 'floor cloth' which the tour guide described as 'the original linoleum'. Very interesting view into life in Worcester during the late 1700's and early 1800's.
