Another option is to take the train from Hartford to New Haven and then switch to metro north. The train to New Haven from Hartford should be less than $10 round trip (it’s $7 from Berlin). As long as the times of those trains work for you, it’s easier than driving and parking and having to drive home an hour after you are tired from a day walking around the city. Also, you can probably take the bus or Uber from your house so you don’t have to worry about paying for parking.

If you don’t mind driving a little, parking at Berlin station is like $2 for the day.

It's $8 from Hartford to New Haven. I just went for 90's Con earlier this month.

This also depends on how many people are going. Train works going by yourself. But if there are 4 of you, that $7 ticket turns into $28 and you would be better off driving together.

Yes as long as someone is willing to drive. Sometimes the convenience of not having to worry about driving is worth the $7 a person.
