Local Travel Destinations

Lots of things to do...yet so little time to spare!!

Needham is in the middle of everything. We are about 20 minute drive from Boston, and there are tons of things to do there. For example you can shop on Newbury Street, walk around the Prudential Mall, take a DuckTour with the family, or just walk on the boardwalk, and eat some delicious Italian food, from our very own Little Italy, which is usually called North End. You can also take a 45 min drive to the Cape, which has tons of great beaches.
