When it’s a long, cold, dreary winter, many of us can’t wait until spring. The cabin fever is real and when the winter does finally thaw, we can’t wait to get out of the house, enjoy the nicer weather, and go do the things we couldn’t do for several months. We put together a list of some of the best post-winter activities in Massachusetts that many of us are itching to get out and do.
- Go to a Red Sox game.

- Take the family to Old Sturbridge Village.

- Hit the beach.

- Take the ferry to one of the islands.

- Chase waterfalls.

- Hunt for bargains at the Brimfield Antique Market.

- Visit the zoo.
