deCordova Museum and Sculpture Park

A great place to go with kids to expose them to art from an early age.  The sculpture park is perfect for your active little ones who want to run and discover and enjoy the outdoors.  The sculpture park encompasses about 35 acres of land and is surrounded by trees.  Some sculptures are interactive and some integrate into the natural surroundings.  The deCordova also can be accessed with a Minuteman Library pass so that admission is free.  Additionally, in the summer they host yoga sessions for both adults and children on the weekends, as well as artist talks, and sculpture garden tours.  The museum also has workshops and is home to a nursery school.  The interior of the museum is host to changing contemporary art exhibitions.
The grounds are perfect for picnicking and enjoying a full day of exploring.
One last family-friendly point is that the restrooms all have changing tables!

Drumlin Farm

Drumlin Farm is a local working farm, that is a great way to introduce little ones to animals and farms, in a low key environment.  The farm offers a short tractor pulled hay ride that loops the farms, and is home to sheep, birds, pigs, horses, and cows, among other animals.
They are run by the Mass Audubon Society, which means that with a membership ($65 a year for a family), you can go an unlimited amount of times, and also gain entrance to other Audubon wildlife sanctuaries, while supporting local wildlife.
The farm also offers picnic spots, public restrooms, educational lectures and events, and some seasonal produce for sale.  Drumlin Farm hosts field trips and a summer camp.
Drumlin Farm is located in Lincoln, Mass, just at the end of Route 2.
