Where are you moving from? It probably has more to do than where you are coming from.

Thats entertainment,The Ecotarium,Polar Park, The Dcu and the Palladium.Worcester public market.

The nice thing about worcester is that it’s right in the middle of massachusetts so there’s neighboring cities with other fun things to do all within a 15-30 minute drive. And assuming you would go to school with other kids, you’re bound to make friends with people who know the area and know the places to be. It’s the kind of city you’d have to actually walk/drive around in to notice anything eye catching. Google’s just going to show you five different historical museums

It’s the 2nd largest city in New England behind Boston. You might not be looking hard enough. Go to FB and see events, groups etc in Worcester.

There’s a train that goes directly to Boston, it takes a little over an hour but there’s lots to do in Boston if all else fails. There definitely are some hidden gems of Worcester but to be realistic I know I definitely wouldn’t have enjoyed them as a teenager. There isn’t much to do and a lot of teens either get into trouble or get jobs, i know I worked with some of them.

Worcester is one of those “working on it” cities that really try to engage the public and there are a lot of cool events that happen in Worcester year round but overall falls flat bc of the lack of social spaces and event spaces. I recently moved to the Boston area and I enjoy my everyday life so much more.

Depends on her interests. Personally, I love being close to places like Purgatory Chasm, the Ecotarium, the Broad Meadow Brook Conservation Center...

Depending on the neighborhood, Worcester can be a great place to live. I haven't lived anywhere with better food options. It's very pretty here in the fall. The traffic isn't bad for a city. You're a half hour plus from RI and Boston, only a couple hours from Cape Cod, the Berkshires, the White Mountains, Vermont, CT, Maine.

I guess if you’re in countryside of Ireland, Worcester will have more to do. If you live in a massive city, not sure.

There are lots of Irish descended folks here. So you would at least find some fellow Irish!

Central Mass is wicked close to everything. You both are almost old enough to drive over here, so that's cool. There's an endless supply of things to do within an hour's drive.

Worcester is the heart of a pretty fantastic hardcore metal scene, and we have a great venue called the Palladium that hosts tons of shows. Also a few dozen smaller clubs and two or three larger concert venues.

Also we're pretty central to frisbee golf, and Pyramids and Maple Hill are local courses that anyone who plays the game will know about.

We have a top level art museum with the biggest collection of arms and armor outside of Europe.

We have something like a dozen colleges, lots of them host a bunch of events all the time. What is it you're looking for?

What do you do already in your area for teens that you aren’t finding here? That might be able to help people point you in the right direction.

Honestly I got a bike and went to West Boylston and hiked by the reservoir

Depends on the school you go to there and where you would be living. It's great because you're near things , but the city itself is not cool like Boston. Worcester is 39 miles from Boston. 2 hours to cape cod with traffic. It's about an hour from anywhere near the ocean. If you are in hschool, I wouldn't want to move but maybe you would like to reinvent yourself here.

arcade

There’s multiple hidden gems you just have to look.

There's GAA clubs here if you're into trad sports.

there’s a good deal of stuff to do but I wouldn’t let a 15y/o wander around certain parts of worcester. My go to activity is actually taking the commuter rail into boston or natick (the natick mall is really nice and they have an arcade). the Massachusetts train system has a weekend pass that lets you ride the commuter rail as much as you want for 10$ on saturday and sunday. Within Worcester theres a couple of strip malls to go to but nothing particularly interesting. The library we have is actually pretty nice and they give out coupons that you can use at popular Massachusetts museums/zoos/aquarium. If your mom drives you theres a lot of stuff in the surrounding area too (ice cream, movie theatre, etc). My only advice for you personally is to be careful where you walk alone, and to avoid the homeless in worcester. Most will leave you alone but theres a couple of nasty ones that will pickpocket or aggressively follow you around for money (like 20$, not just pocket change) and you can never tell which are which.

There is the JCC, has a lot of good programs for kids and a big, BIG gym, it’s like the YMCA (the Worcester YMCA is terrible)

If you're 15-16 i would not recommend.

Worcester has restaurants, bars, beer gardens, museums, sports teams, concert venues, music clubs, and educational institutions

There's a lot of food to try.

Predominantly on Shrewsbury street, green street and chandler street.

There's also the baseball stadium which has games during the summer and spring season.

There's a few bars and restaurants with live music.

There's also a few themed bars. One with archery and axe throwing, arcade games, etc.

There's a few escape rooms.

There's typically a lot more going on during the college semesters than not.

I have experience with both places. Worcester is fine but I would stay in Ireland.

Worcester is not a destination but it is a fantastic base camp.

no there is nothing to do

​

please stay where you are

​

we dont need your kind here anyway

Not much until the summer/fall really with the art festival and stuff like it, Saint Patricks day is coming up but it hasn't boaded well with the political turmoil against it and the gang nonsense making bar hopping dangerous, the weather being poor when the parade comes doesn't help either.

Probably wanna travel around state more often for events and such, particularly the boston area holds alot to do. You can take the train if you don't like driving there too.
