I have taken my grandchildren here and they all enjoyed it very much. It is a treasure that not all residents of CT even know of. Great museum and the self-guided tour of the submarine is very worthwhile and informative.

I really should have reviewed this site a long time ago. I am a retired submarine sailor. This museum, which includes a chance to tour the USS Nautilus, which was America's first nuclear submarine is a GREAT chance to see and feel a comprehensive example and memorial to the submarines and submarine sailors of rhe U.S. of A.!

A 12-foot statue in the Foxwoods Town Square that displays the history of the Pequot tribe.

There are lots of things to see and visit when at Foxwoods and although I miss the show that use to take place at this statue it is certainly beautiful when lit at night. Check it out and see for yourself.

Bordering the Mystic River, this complex features changing art exhibitions, special events and classes. A nonprofit organization created by an artist colony in 1913, the association boasts a membership of over 1,200 artists. Travelers can partake of one-day workshops or enjoy a day on the town while their children are educated and entertained in art classes.

The trip to Mystic coincided with the reopening of the museum. We were greeted as the first visitors since the closing. As we entered, staff was putting up the final distancing arrows and markers. It was a very pleasant visit done at a leisurely pace. Exhibits were interesting and many themes along regional/nautical lines. The museum is in a nice setting along the river. Enjoyed a river walk post museum.

Attractively styled lighthouse which was in operation from 1944 to 1967.
Reviewed By retiredgrammaof4 - Sugar Hill, United States
Went out to Avery Point, located on the UConn Campus to watch the sunset on a beautiful evening. We use to come out here when we lived here 33 years ago. On the weekends parking was free and not crowded at all. We walked around the paths looking at all the art work displayed and sat out on the rocks overlooking the sound watching the ships and ferry's go by until the sunset. We walked down to the lighthouse but you are not allowed to go inside. If you're looking for a relaxing evening that costs nothing, then this is the place to experience it all with the family or someone special.

I love this winery and I take all my friends here who are visiting the area! They have implemented new policies during COVID such as spaced out tables, wine flights, and one group inside the tasting room at a time. Their wine slushies are delicious but I wish they came in a bigger cup! The Wine Dog white is a must-try!
