Wintertime is a bit tough.

Connecticut's main attractions are natural, historical and cultural.

Indoor activities until the weather improves.

Wadsworth Atheneum

Mark Twain House

Basketball Hall of Fame

Most towns have a local history museum or a historic home to visit.

The Peabody Museaum at Yale reopens in 2024.

There is a small Connecticut Natural History at UConn

There is the Pequot Museaum at Foxwoods

There is an indoor racetrack near Foxwoods

The Mystic Aquarium

And the three casinos in MGM in Springfield, Foxwoods and Mohegan Sun

​

As the weather improves more outdoor activities become available

Old Sturbridge Village

Visit the Mansions in Newport

There are also mansions in Hudson River Valley Rockefeller Mansion, Lyndhurst and Vanderbilt mansions.

Mystic Seaport

Get hamburger at Harry's in Colchester.

Hancock Shaker Village can be done in a day

Plymouth Plantation can be done in day

Visit the Rhode Island beaches.

This is such a great list! Also wanted to add that MassMOCA is really cool and can be done in a day, depending on where you’re at! Or could be part of a little weekend/overnight getaway. Lots of other cool stuff around it!

We love Mystic! Will try the other suggestions as well.

My GF and I probably aren't the best for going to casinos together. She wants to gamble together and when she loses is ready to leave while I like to go off on my own and feel out tables and am okay going down $200 to try and win some back. I can sit at a table for hours while she can't more than like 20 minutes lol
