Ok, we get it. You’re busy getting ready for Christmas so you might not have time to get here right now. There are still ways to support your favorite Western Mass spots this holiday season. Here are a few ideas:

Give the gift of Six Flags New England: your kids will be thrilled to find a Season Pass under the tree and you can buy them online here. After missing all of last summer, they’ll be making up for lost time in 2021! Plus these passes pay for themselves after only two visits!

Adopt an animal from The Zoo in Forest Park. The zoo is closed for the season but the animals still need some love. Each sponsorship package will include a welcome letter with your selected animal’s personal story, including the details of how they came to live at The Zoo and two one-day passes for the 2021 season. Other ways to support the zoo are detailed here.

Put The Big E under your tree. Share the excitement for the 2021 Big E with the ones you love with a package that includes admission with lots of other add-ons.

Give the gift of a getaway. Plan a spring or summer getaway now with a hotel gift card. Click here for some great hotel options and then add admission to one of your favorite Western Mass attractions.

Support our local breweries. Many visitors come just for the Western Mass Beer Trail so grab a gift card now for a beer later!

We can all use a little culture after these long months of COVID protocols. Western Mass has more than its fair share of culture that can’t be found anywhere else including the Amazing World of Dr. Seuss Museum at the Springfield Museums, The Eric Carle Museum of Picture Book Art, The Norman Rockwell Museum, National Yiddish Book Center and others. All offer gift cards for future visits.

Get outdoors this winter! You and the fam can Explore Western Mass outside this winter. Ski or snow tube at Berkshire East. They’ve added new amenities to keep you safe and warm as we continue to social distance including fire pits, outdoor bbq and winter cabanas for groups of six.

It goes without saying that we’re all looking forward to 2021 so give the gift of Western Mass and we’ll look forward to the New Year together!
