Yelp.com Review - by Dawn E.

4.0 of 5 stars. I finally made it to the armory (after MULTIPLE reschedulings, but that's not the armory's fault)... and I'd have to say, overall, it was a pretty neat place. I was in a wheelchair at the time, and,...

Yelp.com Review - by Teri L.

5.0 of 5 stars. I returned to Higgins on a recent Yelp event and was still in awe of the vastness of this collection. Higgins now has Audio Tour devices so that you can code in the number corresponding to the...

Yelp.com Review - by Catie C.

3.0 of 5 stars. You have to dig this stuff in order to truly enjoy this specialized museum. As for me, I was just curious. Knights, Warriors. Their armour. Their weapons.Certainly, I did not know there were so many...

Yelp.com Review - by Amanda M.

4.0 of 5 stars. Cool place to check out since they have so many types of armor from different countries and vintages. We ended up going here on free museum day, but I don't think admission is very pricey. Multiple...

Yelp.com Review - by Matt L.

4.0 of 5 stars. Well in Worcester, you may scratch your head and wonder what there is to do around this city. It is a pretty scary place and it is run down and not reall looking very attractive to a visitor. Take a...

Yelp.com Review - by brian s.

5.0 of 5 stars. How can you not give this place five stars? There really is nothing else like it around here. All kinds of suits of armour from different periods and different regions. Impressive looking helms and...

lilaguide | Fun, different

Great place for 3 year olds. They have a couple of rooms in particular that are different for kids to do. Dress up, hands on. It is low cost and fun for a rainy day. Beware of the fact that some kids will be...

Great for kids by gardner h. at InsiderPages

We took a day trip here with our grandchildren and they really liked it. There was a very good lecture on armory that traced its history. There is also an interactive area where the kids can try on helmets....

Yelp.com Review - by Kerri O.

5.0 of 5 stars. This place is one of the weirdest attractions around. Let me paint you a picture. You hop in your car, and drive to Worcester, which isn't the most picturesque place around. You wander through a...

5.0 of 5 stars. Fantastic museum. Four floors of armor spanning centuries and from all over the world, beautifully displayed. Knowledgeable and engaging staff. You can rent a wand that toggles between several...

Not find another place like this by Kathy (3-Scott) H. at InsiderPages

All the years I lived in Worcester I took for granted the Higgins Armory. Let me tell you it will simple amaze you. If you have never been, I would highly recommend visiting the museum. It is the largest...

Yelp.com Review - by Emily S.

5.0 of 5 stars. My husband loves armour. He used to buid it. He was like a little boy in this museum. We went across the country just to visit this museum. These are his 5 stars. I would give 4. But here is 5.

Yelp.com Review - by Patrick T.

5.0 of 5 stars. An astonishingly complete and high quality museum of suits of armor, swords, and lances, this collection rivals the one in the Tower of London. None of the armor is behind glass, so you can see it up...

Everyone should go once by Amanda A. at InsiderPages

It really is an interesting collection of arms and armor that everyone should see at least once, but once you've seen it, you've seen it! Allow only 1 or 2 hours to explore the museum. The building itself is...

medieval mayhem

This armory is mainly an attraction for children under the age of 15, mainly ebcause the tours and captions cater to the younger, adolescent generation moreso than the sophisticated aura that can be s...

Neat place for middleage buffs...or anyone!

The Higgins Armory museum is in this big (five or six floor) modern building and has just tons of different kinds of suits of armour and weapons from medieval times and others. They put on pageants an...

The one and only

This is the only museum in the hemisphere dedicated to arms and armor. It is four floors tall with everything from stone age hammers to medieval lances. It also has a library with many books you won't find...
