Hidden Gems Places To Visit in Brookline, Massachusetts, United States
- 5.0 Puppet Showplace Theater (28 reviews)
-Such a charming theater featuring some of the best puppetry talent in the USA.
Closed now - 10:00 AM - 4:00 PM Theatre & Performances
First a disclaimer. I am a puppeteer. That being said I’ve seen many MANY crappy puppet shows. Fortunately the artistic team at The Showplace chooses only the best performers to do shows. Their Summer line up of performers was a who’s who of performers from across the USA. Their fall line up is even better. Go see a show. Just go. See more..
- 4.5 Larz Anderson Park (93 reviews)
-Ice Skating at a family friendly rink
Tuesday: 10:00 AM - 4:00 PM Parks
My wife is from the area, and she suggested that we bring our kids there on a beautiful January Sunday to ice skate. My eldest was not keen on doing this, but after seeing his brother and I skating decided to join in. They have plenty of the rigid plastic "guides" for off-rink skating and learning and that was the bonus for them to get them warmed up. Very family friendly, good pricing, plenty of skates to rent, and its entirely outdoors (which is best on a sunny day). Enjoy the mild winter we are having! Great music to skate to, as well.
