4 reviews for Look Memorial Park
Look Park far exceeded my expectations, and I highly recommend it for anyone with young children. It's a perfect spot for a full-day summer outing, and is very inexpensive. You pay a $4 entry fee and then you pay for the rest of the activities as you go along depending upon which activities interest you (for example $2.25 for an adult ticket on the train).
They have tons of stuff to offer - Bumper boats, miniature golf, 2-and 4-passenger pedal boats on Willow Lake, a 1.2 mile scenic walking trail, a little zoo where you can feed the animals, steamer train (for kids mainly) that goes around the park, volleyball and tennis courts, ball fields, tons of open land, etc. Fabulous day of wholesome family fun.
They also have a beautiful Victorian gazebo and a wedding venue on site! Great place for engagement or family photos.
The only weird thing is that they require you to pay to use their picnic tables (you have to buy a picnic permit!?!) and they do not allow blanket picnics, but I saw quite a few people having a picnic on the lawn without a problem... so perhaps they don't enforce this rule?
I can't believe I'd never heard of this place before. You can be sure I'll be telling all of my friends with young kids about this place from here on out!
Look Park is the Disney World of this area, and hardly anyone knows about it. It is huge, and full of fun activities. I came here first for a picnic birthday party, and the set up was ideal. I used to take my babysitting clients here too and there was always plenty to keep them entertained. A zoo! A train! Boats! Playgrounds! Fountains! This place has it all. Do not let them bring their scooters though, you will be unable to keep up. The trails are really fun for adults to explore and the paddle boats are a fun excursion. What a hidden gem.
This place is great! I wish there was something like this closer to Boston. Lots to do, especially with kids. A perfect place for a picnic. The little zoo is fun, and so is the little train ride. It would be a great place to just spend the day. It's a low-cost outing, too.
Look Park is the perfect place to spend a summer afternoon. It's got 150+ acres of dense forests, open fields and playgrounds. There are tennis courts, volleyball courts, walking trails, miniature golf, ice cream, lakes and creeks, water fountains for splashing around in, pedal boats and even a small-scale train that goes around the park. Kids love it, of course, but I think it could be even more fun for you, as long as you're not busy pretending you're as cool as the teenagers who work there think they are.
The one downside is that the for-fee activities are way overpriced. Pedal boat rentals are $7 for 30 minutes, for example, and that's after you've already paid $4 just to get in. Aha, but if you bike or walk to the park instead of driving, admission is free. So hop on your bike, pack a snack, and take a spin around this hidden gem.
