If you visit Springfield on the weekend, there really are two places you need to go: the Basketball Hall of Fame and the Dr. Seuss Memorial Garden. The garden was a nice trip down memory lane of some of my favorite Dr. Seuss stories and characters (especially seeing the large Grinch statue). It's a nice visit, but I think Springfield... More

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.
