I've driven by Gore Place a hundred times and I recently got a chance to finally walk the grounds!…read moreIt's located right on the Waltham/Watertown line but it has tons more land than what you can see off the bat from the street view. It's a popular venue for weddings and other functions, but you're allowed to walk around the grounds from dusk to dawn. My friend has been running here and stopping by to visit sheep and other farm animals so she showed me and our 3 other friends that area. It was so cool! This is the kind of place where you don't feel like you're in Waltham anymore. We saw lots of sheep, some chickens, and a rooster. Apparently there's tours you can go on and a gift shop you can browse in but we only went to the farm animals. :)

This is my first time here and it was delightful. This mansion was not open at the time, but they are tours, and we also visited the sheep and the chickens. It's very nice.

The Paper Mouse is a beautiful store. They stock a wide range of pens, inks, paper and gift items…read morerelated to paper products. The store is a visual delight. Everything is displayed beautifully! The people who work there are very helpful and knowledgeable about pens and inks.

What a beautiful place to have an event. Our guests were very happy and everything was beautiful…read more The house is old so there are a few rules and you really have to do everything.

Used to be my favorite museum in Boston. Hadn't been here in a very long time and recent…read moreaquisitions were very "Meh." They had way better sculptures - large, landscape scale ones - in the entry area. More interactive. Minus the slanted house, everything acquired since Covid is pretty terrible, some even very cheap looking. Example, photographs... outdoors?! Attached to wood posts like cheap yard signs. Trellis with hanging fabric with cheap-looking patterns that looked like samples from Joanne's Fabrics... attached to structure that looked like playground set... not really developed. This idea of walking between hanging things has been done by countless others way better. A couple other sculptures were interesting themselves, but supports were so not thought through or developed. Looked like an afterthought, and attracted more attention or equal to the work. The "crystal" one was more interesting, but seems too precious to be outdoors. It's more of an indoor piece. Older works by Dan Graham, Jaume Plesna, Jim Dine, Joseph Wheelwright, Marianna Pineda are great. Smallest Kenneth Snelson I have ever seen... I counted 10 interesting works. 10. And indoor museum is closed for renovation. $14 entry, out of way location. Not coming back unless they dramatically improve curation. Look at New Orleans Museum of Art's sculpture garden for some inspiration. Storm King might be out of this league, but NOMA should be comparable.

It's a beautiful and welcoming space, for the right kind of people…read more The art displayed was interesting, but mainly speaks to their right kind of people. The theater was comfortable, for short legs for short duration. Went outside during a break, security in this direction, turned around, security in that direction. Don't know what that was about. Overall, can't say it was worth the travel time to visit. Maybe I just caught it at the wrong time.

This is such a nice surprise of a place. First, the prices are very reasonable and more accessible…read morethan many places in the city. $30 per person as opposed to ones that are $75 and up per person. They have a wonderful selection of teas to choose from and they have delicious menus of tea sandwiches, scones, and other treats. Everything is presented beautifully and every item we had was absolutely delicious. Another cool thing...you can mix and match items if you so please which most tea services do not allow. They have gluten free items as well and vegetarian options too. The service is lovely and the server we had is such a kind and lovely person. She offered to take pictures for people who were trying to do selfies of their entire table w/ friends/family. It was so nice to see. She was so excited for people having a great time and wanted to help them capture the fun w/ a nice photo. I will definitely be back and would love to try their other locations. I know they also offer a catering menu, and I would not hesitate to get an event catered from them. The food was perfectly presented and delicious to boot. So happy I cancelled my reservation at a more pricey place in the city after I read bad reviews about the pricey place and saw excellent reviews for The Vintage Tea & Cake Company. The excellent reviews were right and I'm so glad I took my mom to tea here.

Went for Mother's Day 2026 and could not have been more disappointed. We made a reservation for 2pm…read moreand by 2:50 had still only received water. When our tea came we did not even have napkins or spoons to stir the tea; the place had only one server for a holiday and everyone in the restaurant was waiting an extremely long time. Why wouldn't you have more servers at a tea house on Mother's Day? I wound up getting up from our table to get our spoons, knives, and napkins from a stand I saw because we weren't being paid attention to. The food itself was pretty measly. Would never ever return. Very bad experience.
