    My grandsons have been here numerous times but wanted to show their friends the Dr. Seuss sculptures. They all had a wonderful time and we bought tee shirts for the Mom who couldn't come with us...  more »

    Travelers, this is a great place to walk around and enjoy the art work. The collections are wonderful. I enjoy the Currier and Ives exhibit but there are many. The Dr Seuss garden is a great place for kids. This is a jewel in Springfield. We recommend.
  • By Romeo Vellutini
    There are 5 museums and some were surprisingly good. The city of Springfield museum was the best. The city has a rich history: Indian motorcycles, Smith and Wesson, as well as some early automobiles. The Dr. Seuss museum is also very good, and not just for kids. The city obviously played a large roll in his youth and is prevalent in his work.
