This butterfly sanctuary is gorgeous! When we go, we are equally excited about the frogs in the room beforehand, the butterflies, the small quails running around, and the stunning tropical plants. (Many of which we also have in our house.)
Indoor games!
If you're sticking around for a few days before or after, the Big E is a huge multi-week event that is part agriculture show, part concert, part carnival, and part celebration of northeastern states! It's definitely worth checking out and they usually have a free circus show as well.
