They never displayed lousy art while we were there and it was most often enjoyable to participate with the gallery. Any way. Ida

Incredible! If you have any history seekers in your group or kids interested in tanks, this is a…read morevery cool place. PROS: Simply amazing to see all of these vehicles restored and on display, probably looking better than they did while in use. Every detail is accounted for and you can tell great care went into the displays here. There's a 25 minute intro video that I recommend you do, after you buy your tickets. It's not mandatory but it takes you through the major conflicts in US history across 3 rooms, making it much more exciting than just sitting in one room. Good history lesson for the young and old. While the race car and planes hangars were closed, we got to see the tanks and military equipment museum. It's an impressive collection ranging from WWI through modern day. There are many vehicles here that you will not find on display anywhere else in the US, and in same cases, the world (i think). There is an impressive video and narration about the encounter between a German Panzer and Russian tanks, complete with the restored vehicles and some special effects on the museum floor. It happens while you're walking around so you can stop and see it. They even talk about the restoration process and all that went into it. Although you cannot get into any of the vehicles, you can touch them. It's amazing how the tanks feel more like concrete than metal. The staff here is so nice. They're helpful and polite. I honestly have never encountered a museum staff like these guys, they're excellent. CONS: It can get expensive at $20 for adults or anyone over 12, if your party is large. Kids price is $10. Discounts for veterans. I understand it's non-profit, so the money is going to restore and add to the collection, I assume, so I can't complain. For reasons unknown, the airplane and race car buildings aren't always open, so you have to come for special events. I didn't inquire why, but you would think it'd just be laid out like the tanks were, allowing you to walk around and look at them. Call ahead to see if those buildings are open. I was a bit disappointed I'll have to come back and pay again to see that, when I would have liked to have done it in one pass. OVERALL: A truly awe inspiring experience. This might the best attraction in Massachusetts. You must see it. If you're stuck without plans on a rainy weekend, THIS IS WHERE YOU SHOULD BE!

In Stow they have the largest tank collection and old cars. One of 15 B-17 still flying and one of the last 3 B-24 still airworthy. Flights 30 mins are $450, walking tours are $15 for adults. Be forewarned, the tour of the B-17 requires crawling and squeezing through very confined spaces. The smaller and more agile you are the better, great for kids. Flights are entered via the cargo door, turn around and pull yourself into backwards onto the floor and buckle in. Once airborne, you can walk around, only windows are two side gun turrets.

I have a lot of experience with Hudson Children's Center, as my 3 year old has been attending for…read morealmost a year, and my 13 year old attended when he was in daycare and pre-school. There are some key points that set Hudson Children's Center apart from other daycare centers and pre-schools: 1. A good portion of the day is spent outdoors, in their large backyard filled with picnic tables, swing sets, and climbing structures. 2. The staff are caring and engaged, meaning you won't find them preoccupied with their phones. 3. There is a major focus on daily art projects and creativity. 4. There is a beautiful inground pool in the backyard. During summer, any potty-trained child is able to participate in daily free-swim in their floaties with staff in and around the pool, keeping good care of safety. 5. Also in summer, a dedicated swimming instructor provides private swimming lessons for every child whose parents opt to sign them up for lessons. The extra charge for private lessons is a major bargain. The core staff are Robin and June who have worked at the center for many years. They set the tone for peace, calm, care, and creativity. Every weekday morning, I bring my daughter to pre-school. I interact with the staff and the children. I feel welcome and comfortable. I know my daughter is well-liked and well-cared for. I know that every day, she is being enriched with creative projects and fun learning by her teacher, Wendy, and a great team. Every afternoon, when my wife comes home with our daughter, I see that our daughter is happy. She's had a great day at Hudson Children's Center. My daughter's pre-school class is diverse, which is important to my family. The center has a private, online group for parents. Almost daily, teachers share with us photos of our children participating in enriching activities, including gym time, programs with their dedicated music teacher, field trips, and general play/silly time. I feel like the team encourages my daughter's creativity and individualism. Even at 3, she likes to choose her clothes. Sometimes she'll opt to wear a costume. When she arrives at the center with me during the morning, she is met with enthusiastic and supportive staff members who notice her, notice what she's wearing, and compliment her. Depending on your work schedule, one negative might be that the center is only open until 5 pm, so you must arrive before then to pick up your child. Honestly, children are at daycare for so many hours during the day... They may arrive as early as 7:30 am... The 5 pm pickup time makes some sense. In my experience, after 5 pm, children are longing for their parent pickup and hoping the next person that arrives is their parent to pick them up. Of course, the "early" pickup time won't work for everyone's work and personal situation. I recommended Hudson Children's Center without reservation. To summarize, my daughter is well-cared for. Her creativity is fostered. The education is enriching. The swimming pool and swimming lessons are a huge bonus and value. The staff are engaged, creative, and caring.

I started my journey to find the perfect bridal set about 2 months ago. I had a budget in mind that…read moreI felt was reasonable. The first store I visited spent some time with me. They were aware of my budget and showed me a bridal set I could not live without. When I asked for a price, the set came in $2500.00 over budget. Then of course the credit card pitch at 39% interest. I left so disappointed. And I felt so disrespected. I walked into Patties, (where I should have visited first) greeted by Sherry's smiling face immediately putting me at ease. She asked what I was looking for, what the budget would be and we proceeded from there. I dont think there was anything in the case I would not have loved. One, however, stood out. We matched a wedding band and I was enamored with the set. I was afraid to ask for a price...then Sherry told me it was UNDER the budget by $700.00. She never tried to entice me with what was outside my budget, never rushed me in any way. She respected me and the amount of money i was willing to spend. That speaks volumes to the calibur of this business. She understood these things take time and patience to decide. I would recommend this business to anyone looking to purchase a special piece of jewelry. Cases to choose from, many styles to choose from, many price ranges to peruse. Sherry, thank you from the bottom of my heart for helping me to choose EXACTLY what I wanted. I am absolutely in love with my purchase.
