It looks like we have some beautiful weather in store this week. Thursday may be the exception – with rain/thunder in the forecast. But the sun will be back on Friday. In fact, the weekend may get hot enough that some of you may want to escape to air conditioning. It’s all fine – since whatever the weather, the Southborough Library offers passes to venues that fit the bill.
A few of their passes offer free admission, with the rest providing a substantial discount.
Passes cover a variety of museums for all age groups. There are also passes for enjoying parks, gardens and wildlife. There’s something for everyone.
Scroll down for the list. But first, for fun, I posted another photo gallery demonstrating the breadth of choices. (Click thumbnails for details and photo credits).
