Venues & Event Spaces in Waltham, MA

“Gore Place is an amazing 50-acre spot right on the Watertown/Waltham line, it is pretty much hiding in plain sight but you should not miss this awesome spot!!!Everyone is free to walk around the property from dawn to dusk, and in addition to the amazing looking home, carriage house (available for rentals) and grounds, there are also adorable sheep living in their new barn. You may also see Rocket the Border Collie running around at - of course - rocket speed!I was also here for an employee summer outing years ago for 200 people, so if you need space for that many people that has parking and is convenient to transportation (the 71 bus stops right in front), this is your place. There are lots of events throughout the year, watch their website and follow their Facebook page (FB page also has cool "this day in history" updates detailing what was happening at the farm on that day in the 1800's). They also have cute sheep photos and the occasional sheep pun; everyone needs those.There is a small gift shop inside the house where you can get a gift that is totally unique. I stopped by yesterday after noticing they were having a summer sale and bought something for myself (3 heavy cotton dishtowels, not the crummy kind in regular stores but good, heavy ones which will last for years). Gift shop is open M, W, F & Sat from 10-1 (double-check hours in case other things are happening), nice employees too that can answer all of your questions.”

“This place was a great surprise! Yes, aside from weddings, you can also visit the estate every 1st Saturday of the month.The tour is and hour, after which you can visit the grounds and the greenhouses.We had an amazing guide who was very accommodating and patient with our elementary school kids (who asked a lot of questions).My favorite part were the greenhouses which are well maintained. It’s like a botanical garden, but a bit smaller. The garden host was also very nice and helpful!!!We spent about two hours here but we could have stayed more, plenty to see in the greenhouses.Overall a great place, run by special people!”
