Welcome! I've been here one year, and have 2 kids age 4 & 7. We usually go to Proctor School playground. Iron Chef delivers Asian food. I love the Topsfield Bakeshop for coffee and baked good (especially the French macaroons:). We've never eaten anywhere else in town, but head to The Spot in Georgetown, go over to Beverly or Salem. We love the Ipswich Y for the outdoor pool, and go between that Y and Beverly for activities. The library has a great kids room and we go often.

This winter for a treat on a cold night, enjoy pizza a the Flatbread Company in Amesbury and the kids can sit on a granite seat and warm by the wood fire oven. Dough play sometimes too.
Jennifer L. replied:
Russel Orchards Ipswich and Tendercrop Farm in Newbury are fun places to take the kids--pumpkins, animals etc. Also, Green Meadow Farm and Appleton Farm.

Mariana's Dancing in Ipswich is only 15 minutes away! Lovely people and kids of all ages. Marini Farm has a corn maze and is also a great spot to pick up local produce!:)
Donna F. replied:
Welcome to the neighborhood!! We're on East Street too!! We have an 8 year old girl and there are several families with kids the same age as yours. For kids' gym, we love Ace Gymnastics on Rt. 1, it's only a couple miles away. For food delivery, there are a bunch of options: Iron Chef in Danvers for Chinese, Supino's in Danvers for Italian, Alex's and Topsfield House of Pizza in downtown Topsfield have big menus of subs, salads, wings, etc. Osteria on Rt. 1 is super close for take out or eat-in pizza (and the only restaurant in Topsfield that serves beer and wine), but no delivery as far as I know. Feel free to PM me if you have any other questions:)
