If you're looking for an opportunity to stretch your legs during a conference break, this is a quick trip. If you're traveling with kids, it's a must see. Fun sculptures and free! Who doesn't love Dr Seuss? Great photo opportunities. If you geocache, it's worth including in your visit here.

Love the Dr. Seuss Garden ... I had to see it. If you are at the Springfield Museum .. don't miss it .. it's right out the door.

Great sculptures of Dr. Seuss' characters! Fun filled hour or so. Don't spend all day.

You'll love this place, magical and full of color!
