Located in the nation’s northeast, the New England region, Connecticut’s size is no indication of the amount of attractions the state has to offer its visitors. Connecticut is basically divided into five regions, Fairfield, Litchfield Hills, Greater New Haven, River Valley, and Mystic County. Starting in the southwest region and heading east, visitors can catch a glimpse of the varied marine wildlife at the Maritime Aquarium. Excitement abounds at the Lake Compounce Theme Park, home to a wet and wild water park and a thrilling, twisting-turning wooden rollercoaster. The Barker Character, Comic, and Cartoon Museum is also sure to be a hit with the kids. Beachcombers and lovers can enjoy a relaxing stroll along the sandy shore or take a dip in the Atlantic at Connecticut’s largest beach, Hammonasset Beach State Park. View famous works by world renowned painters Manet, Picasso, and Van Gogh at the Yale University Art Gallery. Cheer on your favorite NASCAR driver at the Stafford Motor Speedway. Step into the two humungous hangars that comprise the New England Air Museum, where you’ll find over 80 aircraft on display. Visit Mark Twain’s and Harriet Beecher Stowe’s preserved Victorian homes or Sam Colt’s firearms collection at the Museum of Connecticut History. Take a gamble with the roll of the dice at Foxwoods Resort Casino, the world’s largest gaming complex. Visit patriot Nathan Hale’s quaint family farmhouse. Or simply take a scenic drive and photograph the array of colors that come every season with Connecticut’s fall foliage. |

| As one of the 13 original colonies, Connecticut provides a rich history of Early American culture. The state is located between Boston and New York City, and boasts beautiful Victorian-style architecture, prominent theater and music districts, inspiring art museums and more. Connecticut’s rich history and heritage have earned it its nickname, the “Constitution State.” The relatively small size of the state and conveniently located venues such as Bradley International Airport make it easier to explore archeological sites, battle sites from the Revolutionary War, and Historic Parks. State parks and forests, such as the Appalachian National Scenic Trail, provide miles of trails for fun outdoor activities such as hiking, camping, biking, skiing, and snowboarding, depending on the season. The numerous lakes and rivers are perfect for fishing, river rafting, boating, swimming, and water skiing. Connecticut’s festivals and state and county fairs entertain guests and locals with games, animals, and delicious food, while teaching some state culture as well. In honor of the movement to gain freedom for the African American culture, the state created its own “Freedom Trail.” It includes structures that supposedly aided in the Underground Railroad, as well as locations linked to the Amistad case. So whether you are looking to surround yourself in some Early American history, or just want to enjoy all the activities the outdoors has to offer, Connecticut is the place to go.
