Built in 1933, the Coolidge is a movie palace (not a multi-plex) and it usually features independent and foreign films as well as an eclectic variety of festivals. As Boston's only non-profit first-run arthouse theater, it's no surprise that movies from the Republic of China Film Festival, Boston Jewish flicks, Cartoon Madness and Sci-Fi Marathons have all graced the curtain-adorned screen. A must see is the annual “You Oughta Be in Pictures” screening, a night dedicated to locally-made porn (all copies of the film are destroyed after the viewing, so that voyeuristic politician in you can fear not). As a testament to the Coolidge's popularity, patrons raised $750,000 to save the theater from closing a few years ago. Admission $9, children and senior citizens $6, members $6. Bargain matinee screenings $7. This section contains information from Harvard Student Agencies' Unofficial Guide to Life at Harvard. Join in the family fun on Saturday mornings at 10:30am. The theater now hosts children's entertainers, magicians, cartoons, and movies. Some puppet performances are staged in conjunction with the Puppet Showplace Theater.

If you are looking for 'the one' place that meets your Fall Orchard needs, Belkin Family Look-Out Farm is probably it. One of the closest places to Boston, their vision is to be the #1 healthy, outdoor, family fun destination in the Boston and metrowest area. Almost an orchard/amusement park hybrid. Belkin pretty much has all the activities and features you might like in an orchard - hayrides, pumpkins, train, maze, 2 petting zoos, hay pile, bees, playground, and live entertainment on weekends - you name it, you can pretty much count on Belkin having it. While the farm was established in 1651, it has been under new ownership since Steve & Joan Belkin bought the farm in 2005 (it used to be called the Marino Look Out Farm) and the improvements and growth are substantial. You should keep in mind that everything that is good about Belkin, does have its drawbacks. Closer to Boston means more people and larger crowds. Having a zoo, maze, train, playground means more for kids to do, but also more 'excitement', noise, and craziness. If you are looking for a great one-stop place and are ok with it being a bit more crowded and noisy - Belkin is great. If you are looking for a more traditional peaceful 'walk in the orchard' New England Apple Picking experience, other places will better meet your needs. In short, Belkin is best for families with kids who don't want or cannot handle a longer drive and need entertainment and the full experience. Definitely not a 'take a date and have a picnic in the apple orchard' place. Weeekdays are definitely less crowded than weekends. If going on a weekend and you want to avoid the heavier crowds--arrive early! A few other items of note: Senior discounts on Mondays, Frequent Shopper discounts, and Weekly Farm Market Specials. They also have a Frequent Shopper Card: after 10 purchases of $10 or more you get $5 worth of market items on your next visit. And, the farm makes it's own brand of artisinal gelato!
