My overall experience at the Worcester county has been pretty good. There are many things to do here. You could take a tour at the EcoTarium. A place decked with with science and nature exhibits. You could take a stroll through Green Hill park which contains a pond, a zoo, a playground, a little league diamond and a golf course and visit the Worcester art museum. I have lived in Worcester all my life and I tel you that I would not live anywhere else if I had the chance
