| Consider Hopkinton State Park. It probably is officially 'closed', but
you can walk in and enjoy the woods and shoreline.
Directions from the Tara. West on Rte 9 to Rte 85. (That's through 3
lights and then the next 'ramp-type' exit.) Take Rte 85 South, through
one light. The State Park will be on your left, at the top of the
hill, just past Carbone's restaurant. Lots of folks park on the side
of the entrances and walk in from there.

| 358.2 | Try Garden in the Woods | SRINIV::SRINIVAS | | Fri Sep 21 1990 14:53 | 12 |
| Try Garden in the Woods. The New England Wild Flower Society has about 45
acres under cultivation that you can hike around in. It is divided up
into 6 different types of gardens to show off different types of "Mother
Nature".
It is in Framingham on Hemenway Road. It is open Tuesday thru Sunday 9 - 4
until October 31st. Admission is $5 for adults.
From the Tara, take Route 9 West to the Edgell Road exit towards Sudbury.
At the first lights on Edgell, turn right onto Water Street. Your first
left off of Water is Hemenway so just follow the green Garden in the Woods
signs. It is very pretty.

| Shouldn't that be Route 9 EAST?

Just in case you need to know, Garden in the Woods does not allow
strollers...at least they didn't the last time I was there.

| 358.5 | Is Sudbury Close Enough? | NRADM::TRIPPL | | Mon Sep 24 1990 12:53 | 5 |
| I know this is vague, but isn't there an Audobon (sp?) sanctuary
somewhere in the vicinity? Sudbury seems to stick but maybe someone
can provide details. Also thinking of the Buddy Dog place in that
area, perhaps they allow visitors, I know if I were an orphaned pet I'd
appreciate a visitor, especially one about my size 8-)!!

| Drumlin Farm (run by Mass. Audubon) is on Rt. 117 in Lincoln.
It's a small working farm, and they have hayrides and special
events on weekends. This is a great time of year to go.

| Garden in the Woods was very interesting for them. The point about no strollers
was very helpful - that's why we brought the backpack instead.
Hopkinton State Park was OK, not as much to occupy them.
I didn't realize how far west we were till we got there. The second day I
sent them to Sturbridge Village (just 25 minutes). That was a lot of fun for
both of them.
Thanks much for the suggestions.
