Travel tips

Plan on using a car or rideshare to reach most attractions: the Springfield Museums and Dr. Seuss Museum area is roughly 5.7–5.8 km away, and Six Flags New England is around 11.9 km away. If you’re building an itinerary, grouping the Springfield Museums/Dr. Seuss sites with MGM Springfield on the same day can reduce back-and-forth driving. Reviewers also mention occasional street noise (e.g., passing motorcycles), so light sleepers may want to plan accordingly.
