Things to do with a 15 yr old neice in Worcester Area? HELP!

I have my 15 year old neice all weekend. Im looking for fun things to do. We live in Grafton (near worcester).. Already have lined up, The Mendon Drive-In, possibly TRI STATE raceway in Dudley. Completely stuck and want her to have the best time here.

Any help is appreciated

Consider miniature golf in Auburn at Rt. 20 & 12; Shrewsbury St. for good food; Check the Hanover Theater schedule; farther, but check the schedule for Pawtucket Red Sox. Of course Boston isn't far if you want to go in for the day.

Worcester Art Museum? It's good for a few hours, I would say. Is there a mall nearby?

I'd take her into Boston, the aquarium, a whale watch, Blue Man Group...those are the things my nieces liked.

Don't know if its to her taste, but she might like Higgins Armory (probably only if she likes to read fantasy novels).

you are not all that far from Sturbridge, if history is something that interests her.

And there's always the beach...where is she from? If not from near the ocean, I'd take her to whichever beach is closest...maybe one of the Rhode Island beaches. or if you don't mind the drive, take her to Crane's on the north shore.

what about a walk through Purgatory Chasm? what about taking her horseback riding...I know there are some stables out in the Grafton area that offer trail rides.

Any bead stores near by? Some let you select beads and sit right down to make a bracelet.
