Things To Do
Bancroft Tower
Step into the Bancroft Tower, a whimsical stone tower nestled in Salisbury Park. Built in 1900 to honor George Bancroft, a Worcester native and U.S. Secretary of the Navy, this 56-foot structure resembles a medieval castle and offers stunning views of the city from its hilltop perch. Perfect for history buffs, architecture lovers, or anyone looking to explore a hidden gem in Worcester!
Green Hill Park
Green Hill Park is Worcester’s largest public park, spanning 480 acres of open space with plenty to do for everyone. Walk the trails, visit the animals at Green Hill Farm, or relax by the ponds. With picnic areas, playgrounds, and a golf course, it’s a great spot to enjoy the outdoors and take in the scenery, including impressive views from the park’s highest point.
Armsby Abbey
Armsby Abbey, one of New England's top beer bars, boasts a draft list with regional favorites, rare Vermont brews like Hill Farmstead, and unique imports. Its gastropub fare is equally impressive, featuring charcuterie boards, artisan cheeses, and hearty seasonal dishes like pan-fried ricotta gnocchi with smoky Piquillo pepper puree, sweet corn, and mussels in a tomato-garlic broth.
