It is always nice to hear about worthwhile places to take young children from those of us who have actually been there.  A few places we have gone to lately are the Discovery Museum in Acton, MA (about 35 mintues from Nashua).  This is a WONDERFUL place for young children (ages 15 months – 6 years) plus there is a Science Museum for older children, but we did not visit there so I can’t offer any comments.  Their website is Discovery Museum.

I highly recommend going though admission is a bit pricey!

The Roger Williams Zoo in Providence, RI (about 2 hours from Nashua) is a great zoo!  Very clean and affordable.  Outside the zoo is a beautiful park, walking trails and an indoor Carousel.   This is a great all day outing for children of all ages.

Please share of any places you have taken your children recently that may be useful to others.  Feel free to include destination places as well for those parents who are thinking of mini-vacation ideas.
