Woburn, MA: Beautiful, Quaint and Historic User Rating 4 rating By Anonymous ( May 14, 2018) The best thing about Woburn, MA is that it is 9 miles from Boston so everything is easily accessible. I love going to the Middlesex Fells Reservation to hike, sightsee and enjoy what nature has to offer. It is a perfect place to bring your dog to walk as well as get your exercise ...Read More . I am an avid hiker, so this is one of my favorite places as well as Mary Cummings Trail and Horn Pond.

Living in Woburn has a lot to offer for children as well. My kids love to visit Boston Rock Gym and the Imax. My family loves the outdoors, so we try to take advantage of the spring and summer before the cold winter hits. In the winter, we usually visit indoor entertainment centers such as Dave & Busters and the Woburn Mall.
