It's the middle of summer, and if you're like me, you have run out of fun things to do. While there are the obvious choices like a trip to the beach or into the city, why not stay a little closer to home and do some fun things in your hometown! Tyngsboro has a lot to offer, so here are some suggestions to get you started:

2. Parlee Farms
Parlee Farms is another great attraction in Tyngsboro ~ You can go most of the year, and pick whatever fruits or vegetables are in season. And if you don't feel like picking your own, you can buy fresh from the store!
There are always activities, whether it be tractor rides, a hay maze, feeding the animals, getting ice cream, or buying some delicious apple cider donuts, everyone will find something to do!
3. AMC Theaters
If it's a rainy day, go see a movie! The refurbished theaters have very comfortable seats and are the best place to catch the latest films. Hit the Dollar Store in the same plaza for cheap snacks and enjoy the movie!
