Be sure to visit the Patrick J. Mogan Cultural Center, which tells the "human story of Lowell" through a range of exhibits and programs. Then, you can head to the intriguing Boott Mills Museum. This industrial, historic site used to be an old mill that supplied many jobs for the town of Lowell. It now houses historical exhibits on industry and manufacturing and hosts guided tours. Another great attraction for history lovers and families is the National Streetcar Museum. Kids love the interactive exhibits, including the chance to dress up in a vest and hat, ring the bell and blow the whistle of the trolley.
Lowell is known for its culture and urban amenities, but it also offers its fair share of outdoor activities. If you're staying in a Lowell vacation rental during the warmer months, you can take a scenic canal boat ride through the historic waterways of the city. Or, if you are looking for a more thrilling boat ride, you can enjoy the adrenaline rush of whitewater rafting on the Concord River. On a sunny day, you can also enjoy taking a walk around the DeCordova Museum and Sculpture Park. Situated in nearby Lincoln, it's a 30-acre green space filled with unique and thought-provoking contemporary sculptures by American artists.
Lowell certainly experiences all 4 seasons throughout the year, with a chilly winter, a spring alive with flower blossoms, a sunny summer and a crisp fall with spectacular leaf displays. The ideal time of the year to stay in one of the Lowell vacation rentals is arguably from late May to October, which is when the weather will be most pleasant. Consider planning your visit from mid to late October, as this is a wonderful time to take in the coppery fall leaves. If you're visiting in April and early May, plan for a few indoor activities as rain may be likely.
Lowell is blessed with plenty of natural beauty. If you crave the opportunity to lace up your hiking boots or hop on your bike, check out the Lowell-Dracut-Tyngsboro State Forest. This is a pristine wilderness with 1,140 acres and plenty of trails to explore. You can take a short walk for a couple hours, or tackle one of the longer trails for a full day excursion. Also, head to the UMass Lowell Kayak Center, where you can rent kayaks throughout the summer and explore the surrounding waterways. This is a unique and fun way to immerse yourself in the pristine natural rivers and streams of the area.
