Massachusetts Road Trip



 

A Massachusetts road trip is ideal if you want to explore New England at its finest.  A trip into Boston will offer you so many possibilities for your road trip you will be absolutely amazed.  There are tons of beaches, professional sports teams, wineries, and parks for you to explore for several weeks at a time.  Massachusetts is divided into xi distinct areas (Greater Boston, Greater Merrimack Valley, South Boston, Cape Cod & Martha's Vinyard, and Central Massachusetts, and Southern Massachusetts) and each one will give you a completely different flavor of this state.  To get up to date events and ideas to help plan your Massachusetts vacation check out this link.

 

Downtown City Adventure

Boston is perfect for your downtown city adventure and you will want to make sure your camera's batteries are charged and you have lots of room available on your storage card.  The nightlife is absolutely phenomenal and the professional sports teams have some of the most passionate fans anywhere in the entire country.  These are some other great places to check out while you are in the city:

  • The Boston Beer Company-Manufactures of Sam Adams Beers

  • Boston Tea Party Ship & Museum

  • Boston Harbor Islands National Park

  • Crane Beach

 

Massachusetts National Parks are something that you can easily weave into your upcoming vacation because there are lots of historical spots that you can check out at unbelievably low costs.  When your on your Massachusetts road trip its almost mandatory that you make your way to Cape Cod and explore the area.  There are lots of creative ways to explore the park including a GPS scavenger hunt that is offered by the National Park Service.

Local Wineries are the ideal way to add some much needed variety on your Massachusetts road trip because the countryside is absolutely spectacular.  The Cape Cod and the Nantucket wineries are the two that we would recommend if you are an outsider to the area.

Outdoor Festivals are very common in Massachusetts especially in the Boston and Cape Cod areas.  If your looking to check out some of the most current Rock & Alternative bands on your Massachusetts road trip then you will want to look into the HONK! Festival which is held in Boston.  Almost any time of the year you will be able to find a some sort of arts or music festival that will be perfect for your college road trip, family vacation, or spontaneous road trip adventure.

 

Horse Tracks

Plainridge Racecourse in Plainville offers lots of great options if you want to be pampered with serious VIP treatment.  There are Players Club Points programs, private booths with your own dedicated hostess, and telephone wagering programs available.  The 21 club is something you'll want to check out while you are making your wagers. 

Suffolk Downs is located in East Boston and has live racing between Memorial Day and Labor Day.  If you want to hang out in a private bar then you'll want to figure out how to make your way into the Turf Club on the third floor of the clubhouse and drink at their amazing bar.  Legend's Sports Bar & Grill is a booming attraction at this track and there is almost always something going on.

 

Theme Parks

 

Six Flags New England  is located in Agawam and is where you should wind up if your looking to add some action into this vacation.  If you love roller coasters then you won't be disappointed and you will need to check out the Bizarro and Cyclone coasters-wait in the line if necessary.  You can easily spend an entire day in this Amusement Park and leave feeling like you wanted more.
