Things for kids to do in Northborough? (Boston, Worcester: live in, rail)

[lexisky]

Hello,
We live in Atlanta and my husband is going to be working in Northborough for at least the next 5 months. We have a 4 year old and a 22 month old and he would like for us to come stay with him from time to time there. He will be working most of the time so my questions are:

1) Are there things for kids to do?
2) Is it safe?
3) How far is it from Boston?

Thank you so much!

1) Are there things for kids to do?
Here are a few ideas of things to do locally: Boston Central | Northborough Activities (Boston Area Kids Activities). You could also take them to the Ecotarium in Worcester, the Science or Children's Museum in Boston, etc.
2) Is it safe?
Yes, very
3) How far is it from Boston?
40 miles west of Boston (about an hour's drive). You can pick up the commuter rail in nearby Westboro.
