Reply to comment by Milk-Foon in What does Worcester need? by AnteaterEastern2811

There is NOWHERE to take kids that’s not a park or the Ecotarium (which is lovely but gets old after 5 visits a year).

We have to leave Worcester for every single birthday party and to keep them busy on weekends and holidays. Yesterday we just sat inside because going somewhere to do something for our kid means driving to Westborough or Leominster and we don’t always feel like doing that. It’s a constant conversation with other parents about how crappy Worcester is when you have kids to entertain.

I agree in general but the kids section of the library is really great too.

There’s an indoor play place in Sutton right down 146. I think it’s call luv 2 play or something like that

Yes! I think it's by market 32/five guys. I took my daughter a couple of times and she loved it!

I took my 5 year old to the Ecotarium a few weeks ago and couldn't believe how outdated and awful it was. Definitely not worth the money!!

There's no where for teenagers to go, either. :(

This. If people want kids off devices and to stop gaming there needs to be a place for them to go that doesn't cost an arm and a leg and dare I say.. free. It's not fair for everyone over the age of 30 to screech at them "get off your devices!!" and then give them nowhere to go. Spare me the "but but but back in my day I just got some friends and.." I know old people love to imagine the world is still like the Sandlot but it isn't anymore you can't get a soda at "the general store" for a shiny quarter anymore.. everything is expensive.

Agreed 100%. I take my kid to an indoor playground $15 per child without time restrictions. ABS kids at west Boylston
