NORTHAMPTON, MASSACHUSETTS

Northampton For Kids

There is great family fun in the Northampton Area – with safe bike paths; well marked hiking trails; nature centers; swimming and boating; kayaking and canoeing; children’s museums; children’s theater; and country fairs and festivals.

The whole family, including small children, will love Look Park with the Steamer Rail Road, Christenson Zoo, pedal boats, miniature golf, bumper boats, picnic areas, playgrounds, water spray park, and tennis – whew!

These are some of the wonderful ways that families enjoy each other in Northampton...
