Things to do This Weekend

Looking for something to do in Massachusetts this weekend? Here are some highlights across the state.

This weekend, we welcome February, and fittingly, we will enjoy the light of the Snow Moon. 

At the Crane Estate in Ipswich, enjoy Dunes by the Light of the Full Moon with CraneOutdoors, or the family-friendly CraneExplorer. At Fruitlands Museum in Harvard, and at World’s End in Hingham, take a full moon hike. Experience the sculpture park by moonlight at deCordova in Lincoln with a special after-hours tour. Go on a full moon owl prowl at Lyman Reserve in Wareham, Bourne and Plymouth. And at Peaked Mountain in Monson, join our partners from Adventure East for a snowshoe hike. 

This weekend is the perfect time to visit the Old Manse in Concord. Take one of many tours. From Home to Two Revolutions, to our Family-Friendly tour, a tour about enslavement and the American Revolution, or a tour by Candlelight, choose your own adventure. 

Like the feeling of breathing in the cold air and getting outdoors during this time of year? Then the Crane Estate in Ipswich is your destination this weekend! Join CraneOutdoors for a Wildlife Walk, or the Castle Hill Hike. For a family-friendly outing, consider the CraneExplorers Winter Wildlife Walk.
