When you picture a pool hall in your mind, that's pretty much what Elite Billiards looks like. They have lots of tables and keep them all in pretty good shape. There's no drinks, so you'll see everyone from teens to real pool sharks around. A great atmosphere for some fun games of pool, really. Very reasonable prices, too. Highly recommended.

I have to admit, I really enjoy checking out the local galleries around Worcester. It's neat to see contemporary art displayed proudly and know that the artists live nearby and have access to the same inspirations you do. But anyway! The Highland Artist Group is a relatively new place that houses all kinds of artists from around New England. I have to say, though, these guys really like local art. And they're way more open than other galleries, it seems. I have a friend that's a fairly talented artist and I helped convince her to submit a couple pieces. And before long there they were! I don't think they ended up selling but it was cool to see. It's always an interesting place, and the openness sure makes it feel all the more homely.

I have known this store for over fifteen years, and the owner is simply the friendliest guy in this type of business. If you want something and he doesn't have it, he can special order it for you, and if it's available he will get it. You can also seat down and have coffee with Roger (the owner) and even exchange ideas on comic books, philosophy, life, role playing games, music, and even food recipes. Roger is simply the friendliest guy in this type of business in all of Worcester city.

Sneakerama is as good as it gets. When you walk in to the store, you are greeted. The person that greets you wants you and your feet to leave happy. It doesn't matter the time of day. If you walk in 2 minutes before close you will be given the same time and attention while never feeling rushed. The staff is so much more knowledgable than any other store I have been to, it is almost comical. They know precisely how to accomodate your foot, sometimes just by looking at how you wore out your old shoes!!!!!!!!!! What? I could go on all day. It is comforting to know that this place exists. The family that runs it is beautiful. You can't possibly go there and be dissapointed. Enjoy!
Pros: Best service, best prices, family owned.
Cons: There isn't one next to me in Medford!

Aside from carrying the latest bikes, the people there are extremely perosnable. But if you are looking for a cheap, well mande, brand name bike, this is the place to go. I highly recommend it if you need anything bike related, from helmets to bike locks to bike headlights-- they've got it all. i rate them A-, simply because some of their bikes are a tad pricey, but thats expected when buying a bike.

I highly recommend this museum for all ages. This museum houses lot of swords, pikes, armor of knights, soldiers mostly dating to the 16th and 17th century. Huge collection of armors are obtained for all over the world.
There is a play area for kids to try on armors and lot of hands on stuff. In short great place for a lazy day.

I must say, for its proximity to Worcester's Technical Institute, it sure is a great art museum ;)
First of all, rates: admission is free from 10am to noon on Saturdays. Otherwise it's $8. Children under 18 are free, so bring your kids!
They have pictures dating back centuries, and even some modern art. You can get headphones for a self-guided audio tour. There's a lunch bar (expensive) and gift shop, and I think they even offer art classes if you're so (no idea what that would cost). Make a day of it or just stop by for a walk through! Get cultured!

This is a great pool hall for those who actually want to play pool (versus just "hanging out" at a pool hall). This place takes good care of their tables and sticks, and they have waitresses that come around frequently to bring your drinks so you can focus on playing pool. They have enough space between their tables, and good music coming from the jukebox. If I want to play pool in Worcester, this is the only place I go.

The EcoTarium is great. They have a ton of animals inside, and do regular, very educational presentations for all ages. Most if not all of their employees are very ecologically conscious, and do a lot of work helping the animals and environment around Worcester. Stop by and see some cute animals and maybe even learn how you can help out. There's a planetarium there, too, and even some nature trails (in Worcester, who would have thought!), and is just an all around wondrous place. Adults are $8, children and seniors are $6. Parking's free.

Green Hill Park is a beautiful park complete with some athletic fields, a beautiful memorial to the Vietnam Vets, a playground, petting zoo, and plenty of grassy hills to relax on or to sled on in the winter.
We got married outside at this park right in front of the water fountain within the Vietnam memorial and it was absolutely beautiful. Not only do we have gorgeous pictures to last a lifetime, but a great place to continuously visit to relive the memories!
