1. Old Scituate Lighthouse, Scituate

One of the best spots to see a Massachusetts sunrise is the Old Scituate Lighthouse. Arrive just before dawn to see the entire spectacular display in the sky, just beyond the historic lighthouse. It's so beautiful that you'll be snapping lots of pics! Catch some stunning aerial views of the Old Scituate Lighthouse:

2. Strawberry Fair Restaurant, Norwell

After watching the sunrise, you'll probably need some coffee and breakfast. So, the long-running Strawberry Fair Restaurant in Norwell is the next stop. Order from the extensive drinks menu which includes cold brews, cappuccino, and lattes and we suggest you get one of the delicious eggs benedicts this old-fashioned eatery is known for.

3. EcoTarium, Worcester

With indoor and outdoor exhibits, dinosaurs, interactive displays, live animals, and more, EcoTarium in Worcester has it all! It's a one-of-a-kind museum for anyone who loves both science and nature and we think this is a perfect spot along this road trip. Get a closer look at the various animals you'll get to visit here:

4. Fruitlands, Harvard

Once upon a time, a utopian community occupied the acreage known as Fruitlands. It stemmed from the Transcendentalist movement and, although lasted less than a year, its legacy remains. Stroll the grounds of the historic property and peruse the displays filled with historic art and artifacts. This museum in Harvard is truly one of a kind.

5. Kimball Farm, Westford

What was once a roadside ice cream stand has changed quite a bit over the years. This is now a fun destination for the whole family. While you can still get delicious homemade ice cream here, there is also a cafe, a seafood shack, mini-golf, bumper boats, a driving range, bumper cars, a zipline, an arcade, and more! You will want to maximize your time here at Kimball Farm. Check out the scrumptious flavors of ice cream here and how they're made:

6. Piers Park, Boston

After your fill of fun at Kimball's, make your way to Boston's Piers Park for your last stop to watch the sunset. This is one of the best places in the city to catch the sky all ablaze with color!
