I had a great experience at the Mashantucket Pequot Museum & Research Center. The museum does an…read moreexcellent job presenting the history and culture of the Pequot people through detailed exhibits, artifacts, couple of films, and interactive displays. I especially enjoyed learning about the region's Native American history and how thoughtfully the exhibits were organized. I will say that I did find myself walking through some parts more than once - it could just be me not being able to find my way around easily, but I didn't find it easy or intuitive to navigate. The Pequot village was definitely my favorite part. Walking through the recreated village felt immersive and realistic, and it really brought the history to life in a meaningful way - especially listening to the audio guide. The attention to detail made it easy to imagine what daily life may have been like centuries ago. Overall, it was an educational and memorable visit -- 4 out of 5 stars!

I was visiting family in CT and they wanted to bring me here. Upon entrance, staff were very…read morefriendly and helpful with schedules and must sees. I immediately noticed a newfoundland safety rescue presentation and couldn't miss it. There were at least 10 dogs set up for various rescue scenes. It was interactive for children and a sight for dog lovers. Pets and slobber came free. The village experience was interesting, the ship tour and interactive chant/rope pull was also fun to watch. Food was delectable even if water just couldn't stay cold in the heat. We missed the boat ride by a couple minutes so caught the newfoundland show again (not the least bit mad). I'm a little old for a late night Lego movie, but the set up would be perfect for children! I can't wait to go back with the younger kids in our family.

While the ticket prices are steep, everything is preserved amazingly well. We spent two hours there and could have definitely spent more if it wasn't so humid. Would love to return if ever in the area again. Love, Nicole

Or, what about realizing that you have a complete and utter love for all things reclaimed wood? Eyeballing things you definitely don't need? Then, you're my kind of people, and you belong at MINE. This great little off the road second hand store is filled with great finds from all eras, and will definitely have your mind in overdrive of home improvements and DIY's. From hooks to paintings from artists unknown, to records, dolls, dishes, and chairs galore. This is a great way to spend an hour or two by just poking around and thinking if you need this or that. Prices are a little higher than most, but overall, a pretty decent selection. Wonderfully friendly owner - so ask if you're looking for something in particular!

The…read morestore boasts a huge inventory packed with unique cookware, pots, utensils, and local treats like fresh pasta and spices. There's a real sense of discovery in every aisle, and you could easily spend hours exploring gadgets & treats you won't find in other stores. The Atmosphere: The live kitchen in the back cooks up wonderful samples using products from the store--a delicious touch as you shop! The Staff: Run by people who genuinely love food, the customer service is warm and incredibly welcoming. The team's passion and knowledge truly shine. The Prices: The pricing kept this from being a full five-star experience. While the quality and uniqueness are undeniable, a lot of items skew toward the higher end. Very few items are under $10, with most tools ranging from $15 to $100. Whether you're a casual home cook or a seasoned chef, Kitch is guaranteed to spark culinary inspiration. Just be prepared for a bit of sticker shock depending on what catches your eye.

We walked out with one of my favorites, Gustavo the Shy Ghost, but I could have purchased the entire store. It's small but the employee was super nice and I'm sure everyone loves working there.
