Springfield is perhaps best known as the birthplace of basketball and home of the Basketball Hall of Fame. (The story goes that local P.E. teacher James Naismith invented the sport to fill the gaps between football and baseball seasons.)

(The story goes that local P.E. teacher James Naismith invented the sport to fill the gaps between football and baseball seasons.) But this historic town on the shores of the Connecticut River is famous for a few other reasons and definitely worth a quick visit or weekend away. Springfield was the birthplace and home of beloved children's author and illustrator, Theodore Geisel -- Dr Seuss. In fact, the Zoo in Forest Park, a sure hit with children, is said to have been the inspiration for many of his wild and wacky tales. Wander through the Dr Seuss National Memorial Sculpture Garden, at the Quadrangle, for a look at the Cat in the Hat and Yertle the Turtle cast in bronze. The city served as a major arsenal during the Revolutionary War, a role that is commemorated at the Springfield Armory National Historic Site, which displays an enormous collection of small pistols. History buffs will also enjoy the Connecticut Valley Historical Museum, which pays tribute to the ordinary people of the region who did extraordinary things. « less

My family and I stayed at this hotel for one night - thank goodness - as it was close to Great Adventure New England. I couldn't wait to check out. It was measurably clean, but I think the room...more
