How much time do you have and what are you interested in doing? Are you from the Northeast?

I don't know from Phil to Amherst but I went Amherst college several time due to my husband and his father graduated there.
There is Emily Dickinson's house and Robert Frost's Library...
Mt Holyoke is a beautiful campus as well...of course, Amherst's rival, Williams college is, located on Western MA, near the Tangle wood, the home of Boston Philharmony...
Hope someone give more info...enjoy your trip.

Hi, I am assuming you want something in the immediate area so here are a few ideas.... Yankee candle outlet and store is in Deerfield . There is a restaurant as well and lots to do there...down the road is a BUtterfly museum which is live butterflies all around, eatery there too and small but pleasant....NOrthampton, MA next to Amherst is a fun place to walk around. Nice downtown area with loads of eateries and shops to browse. Amherst itself has a nice main street too... Atkins Farm is in South AMherst, pretty scenery and goodies.. ( hope you like to eat !!) Its a scenic area to drive around. :)

My son would go to Amherst College summer camp. I live around Phila and plan to pick him up if I find something fun to do. i like the city and eating, hiking but I have two senior citizens with me. I am looking for easy hike, right now. Timewise I plan to stay less than one week in the area. Thx.

OK, now we're getting somewhere. I used to live in Gwynedd Valley and work in North Wales, so I know your starting area like the back of my hand. Now, if we could only get back to post #2 we may have some info for you. Where exactly is it that you are looking for things to do?
