Nestled Between Cape Cod and Boston
Normandy Farms is located just 30 miles from Boston where you can walk the Freedom Trail viewing unique historical sites and we're just 50 miles from Cape Cod where you can enjoy the salty air while having a romantic ocean side dinner. We're also just 5 miles from Patriot Place and the Gillette Stadium, home of the New England Patriots! Not to mention a short distance from Fenway Park, home of the Boston Red Sox, a commute made even easier by public transportation.

Please stop by the Business & Information Center at the Reception Center to visit our Concierge who can help arrange your day trip outside the park complete with maps, literature, and a smile.
