MuseumsGroton, CT
Submarine Force Museum & USS Nautilus
You walk through an actual nuclear submarine. The first one ever built, the one that went under the North Pole. It's free. I don't know what else you need to hear.
MuseumsOrange, CT
PEZ Visitor Center
The PEZ factory is in Orange, Connecticut, fifteen minutes from home, and you can watch the candy get made under the world's largest collection of dispensers. This is not a drill.
Family AdventuresMystic, CT
Mystic Aquarium
Beluga whales you watch nose-to-glass, penguins with personal drama, and the whole of Mystic waiting outside the gates. The big-ticket day, done right.
State ParksRocky Hill, CT
Dinosaur State Park
Two hundred million year old dinosaur tracks, in the rock, under a dome, and you can cast your own to take home if you bring the supplies. The real half of Connecticut's dinosaur pair.
Family AdventuresBridgeport, CT
Connecticut's Beardsley Zoo
The state's only zoo, twenty minutes from home: tigers, a rainforest building, a working antique carousel, and the exact right size for little legs.
MuseumsCheshire, CT
Barker Character, Comic & Cartoon Museum
A museum in Cheshire stuffed floor to ceiling with cartoon history: PEZ dispensers, lunchboxes, California Raisins, and every character your kids' grandparents grew up on. The ultimate rainy-day wildcard.
