- CocoViejaCambridge, MA43 contributionsI was blown away by this place. The auto museum was so interesting with many autos on display. The trail and gardens were great. The small Cape Cod museum was interesting for the history. The 1908 Carousel was amazing and we were given 2 rides on it, so much fun!Written October 14, 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- MsCasualTravelorHartford, CT634 contributionsWent on a gorgeous Tuesday, after Labor Day tourists and before things close in midOctober. The boat was clean, plenty of seats, friendly crew, and ran on time. Great relatively inexpensive way to go to Martha’s Vineyard. $20 all day parking, about 1.5 blocks from the ferry. $27 per person ferry tickets, round trip.Written October 13, 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Jeffrey L23 contributionsThe N.P.S. Visitor Center is a nice visit with friendly staff, a nice museum and a number of quality free short films in their theater. We did not get above Eastham so we cannot comment on the rest of the park. Nauset Lighthouse and the Three Sisters Lighthouses are just down from the Visitor Center parking lot. They are cool to see when you are at the beach. Nice place for couples or family.Written October 26, 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Richard F1 contributionThere are plenty of reasons the Atwood Museum won the Tripadvisor award. It is a wonderful museum telling the story of Chatham area. The docents are extremely knowledgeable and friendly. The exhibits are interesting and extremely well designed. The Gallery Barn contained an amazing exhibition of murals about the community by a local artist. Our hats are off the the volunteers and board of directors who manage, run and maintain this gem of a local museum.Written September 21, 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Laura LDeLand, FL12 contributionsAwesome museum, tower walk and funicular ride down to commercial street. Friendly staff. Parking charge, but worth it. You can go up/ down/ to your car all day. Also convenient, clean restrooms.Written October 22, 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
- Kathy F1 contributionIt was so interesting. Amazing to see the recovered artifacts dating back to 1717!!
One of the figures in there looked like he might come alive! I think it was the carpenter.
An enlightening experience!Written November 18, 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

Just as we arrived, a tour bus was unloading to visit the museum. It was crowded, but we were still able to enjoy the displays. We started with a glass blowing demonstration, which was interesting. Then we watched a movie about the history of glass blowing in Massachusetts. There are at least 12 rooms in the museum, each one showcasing a different kind of glass and explaining some of the history. The gift shop has jewelry and other items made of glass for purchase. We enjoyed our visit to the museum.Written November 20, 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
- ropqsrBoston, MA216 contributionsFirst time visiting Nauset Beach and it is breathtaking. What a beautiful beach. Long, clean, pristine. We saw a seal that followed along with us on a walk. Sand was incredibly soft with very few rocks/ shells. First time we had seen a beware of sharks sign... Not sure if I would swim, but lovely to beach to visit.Written September 19, 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- UPNorthguy41990Beulah, MI275 contributionsBeautiful trail that my family used for a run. The 6-7 mile section we ran on was mostly tree covered and well maintained. Plenty of use from bikers, runners, and walkers, but not so busy you cant navigate easily. We started at the national park visitor center and ran it to the end parking lot trailhead.Written July 12, 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Lea S11 contributionsAlthough erosion has shortened the length of the beach, it is still one of the most impressive in the country. It's an ocean beach, not one of the quiet bay beaches found elsewhere in New England. It has waves that should be respected because they can at times be powerful!Written July 19, 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.
