Family Friendly Lodging in the Berkshires & Western MA

Plan Your Trip to The Berkshires


The western part of Massachusetts is known in the Berkshires region for its north-south Berkshire Mountains range and its historic identities as the Pioneer Valley and the Mohawk Trail. The cultural life of the Berkshires is rich. Tanglewood, in Lenox, MA is the summer home of the Boston Symphony Orchestra. It welcomes world-class musicians and performers. The Mahaiwe Performing Arts Center in Great Barrington, MA is a year-round cultural center. The Jacobs Pillow dance festival is held yearly in Becket, MA. Stockbridge, MA is home to the famous Norman Rockwell Museum, with original Norman Rockwell art and seasonal events. In North Adams, MA, the Massachusetts Museum of Contemporary Art (MASS MoCA) charms visitors with visual and performing arts.
The Berkshires is a beautiful place for families with younger and older children. Family-friendly lodgings like Berkshire Fairfield Inn & Suites and Jiminy Peak Mountain Resort make it easy for families to get their fill of outdoor sports like hiking and skiing, along with the region’s many festivals and excellent dining and shopping. Some other fun activities for family trips to The Berkshires include skin areas, white water rafting, zip lining and canopy tours, and many more four-season activities. In the town of Amherst, is the Eric Carle Museum of Picture Book Art, a fun day for kids and parents. Visiting the towns of Historic Deerfield in Deerfield, MA and Hancock Shaker Village in Pittsfield, MA is also a wonderful place to spend the day.
