Tower Hill is about a half hour from my house. Every summer I visit just to walk the garden and take in the beauty of the colorful flowers. The garden overlooks nearby Mt. Wachusett and the reservoir and if you're at Tower Hill at sunset, you're in for a beautiful sky. Pathways are made for walking around the peaceful setting... More

Go during the late afternoon, walk around the gardens, and then sit on the terrace for a Tapas dinner with a beautiful sunset view.

This was my first visit to Tower Hill and I can imagine that it must be perfectly stunning in any season....other than winter. But, still - considering it is winter - it was a very nice visit with still a few things to see. There were only two indoor locations to view plants and such so we were only there... More

We first went to the Worcester Art Museum then went to Tower Hill. Beautiful arrangements for the event as well as the permanent items.

A wonderful setting with great vista views. We took my mother there for her birthday and enjoyed a nice lunch on the patio and a leisurely stroll through the gardens. Stay for a short time or a long afternoon, either is good.

Perched high on a hilltop, this gorgeous botanical garden is wonderful place to spend a morning or afternoon. There's always something to see, and for anyone who enjoys plants and gardens, a visit here will be a real treat.

It's such a beautiful place. Peaceful just to walk around and take in the beauty. They really keep up the grounds and there's lots to look at. I like that there's places to just sit and talk or take in the beauty. Have been there many times and will be back.

Other areas to see while there as well. I want to speak about the cafe there and having lunch.I have been there before and had lunch once, but the room... More
