The Berkshires rocks when it comes to kids and families!

Sculpted from glaciers, area mountain ranges and colorful lakes and rivers create a plethora of outdoor fun. Every season introduces another way for having a blast. For example, the Norman Rockwell Museum will celebrate its 40th anniversary during 2009 with a host of family events including outdoor art. Kids under 18 are free every day.  Speaking of free, don’t miss Shakespeare & Company’s weekly Bankside Festival, often an impromptu comedy of actors making merry featured outside.
