The family fun available in Central Massachusetts is not your typical kind of fun. (And that's a good thing.) Here you can wander through a 14-acre corn stalk maze at MEGA MAZE, visit EcoTarium, an indoor/outdoor museum, catch minor-league baseball with the Worcester Tornadoes and even relive the 1800s at Old Sturbridge Village. The combination of educational exhibits, sporting activities and fun-for-fun's-sake destinations make this area absolutely can't-miss.
