Reader Holly wrote in with a Cape Cod tip; this venue opens for the season today:

“For families traveling to the Cape Cod area, we came upon the most amazing museum/garden/grounds! The Heritage Museums & Gardens in Sandwich has museum buildings amidst an incredible spread of gardens, complete with an outdoor theater that has great concerts and shows. One building has an historic carousel and free rides, one is an antique car museum, and one is American art and history. The grounds are a horticultural wonderland and there is a beautiful old windmill and a cute outdoor café. I highly recommend it.”
