Matterhorn Mini Golf

A one-of-a-kind, Swiss-themed miniature golf course in northwest Connecticut, 30 minutes west of Hartford. There's something for everyone at Matterhorn: art to see, bells to ring, fun facts to glean... and all on a colorful, Par 45 course. Our Par 3, 18th hole is a 71' long Alpine Meadow complete with wildflowers (watch out for the groundhogs!). Learn about cheese, chocolate and even the Hadron Collider as you putt your way through 18 holes of adventure in Switzerland. Distant yodeling in the background fades in and out as you cover the half-acre course. Come meet our family of goats - each of which was painted by a local school or artist! (They're fiberglass but still lots of fun...). ​ Family designed, owned and operated since 2015.

We went to Full Moonshine Distillery a few days ago and we are still talking about it. It is a family owned business. Everybody is very friendly and helpful. It is a small cozy, rustic place. They give you four shots of moonshine with the tasting and four small drinks made with the moonshine. You can bring your own food to snack on. They do not charge for the drinks with the hopes that you will buy some merchandise. They have the moonshine for sale ,of course, along with T-shirts, shot glasses and a couple of other size glasses. All at reasonable prices. I think it is going to be our new favorite spot.
