I have been to a few of these off beat museums and I have to say they are funny and worth checking out. This one however is not in the right spot and quite frankly in party central Key West, is a desserted nightmare being on the main drag surrounded…More »

Went in to this attraction with a different expectation. It puts you into a large room surrounded by various sections that light up on very old statues (some with peeling paint on their skin) and tells the story of the Witch hysteria of the 1600's…More »

I had a very romantic weekend planned for my wifes birthday and was very surprised at the lack of customer service I received from this hotel this past Saturday Feb 24. First off, the check in process was terrible. We waited over an hour and some for…More »

If you are traveling along Route 4 and you happen to stumble upon Billings Farm, you could stop in and think you are in fr a good time. What it really amounts to is a working farm, that is more for kids than anything. Aside from the Rockefeller house…More »

I made the very big mistake of trying to visit this sole water park in the month of August on a weekend. Driving from Massachusetts to this spot took me 2 and half hours not because of distance but becuase the traffic going to the beaches and at the…More »

Neighbourhood: East Cambridge

  2/15/2009

This museum used to be one of the better attractions in Boston. What I see as the issue is that it is dated, and has not kept up with the progressive times compared to the other attractions in Boston (ie The Childrens Museum). The prices are…More »

I have been to many county fairs in my time and have to admit this is one of the worst I have ever been to. First off, I love Marshfield and the surrounding towns. It is typical New England shore town and quaint and a pretty nice place to visit. This…More »

Sometimes well visiting here, you just wish basketball wasn't born in the tired nasty city of Springfield. But there is nothing you can do about it. This Hall of Fame is better than it was since the old one sites next store and is more office spaces…More »

  2/28/2009

This is another place that is trying to make a buck off of the tourist visiting Boston and wanting to grab a quick meal at a busy location. The problem is they charge you an arm and a leg and trap you into buying novelty Cheers TV items that are…More »

Seeing as I had been on th L.A. version of the NBC tour I had decided to give this one a try. Well I was truly sorry. The tour is an hour of basically trudging up and down elevators and seeing basically nothing in 30 Rock. The only cool part was…More »

Beware of this place. It is an older casino/Jai Lai (they did away with the Jai Lai) establishment that sits on the outskirts of beautiful Newport in a tough area outside the Naval Base. The place is a monstrosity sitting on a hill and fills up with…More »

Oh the joys of an Easter Brunch! Well visiting family in this area we were partaking in this supposedly local hotspot. It was quite crowded but probably because it was Easter and probably because there isn't much else in this area. The staff here is…More »

Compared to the nearby Ripley's Museum up the street, this one is not worth the 15 bucks a person that you will spend to just read a bunch of Guiness facts on walls and see bad displays of records broken. It is just a series of rooms that are filled…More »
