Connecticut

Connecticut is all about fun. Thrilling roller coaster fun. Antiquing and ethnic festival fun. Serious museum and opera fun. Shop-‘til-you-drop fun. And just good plain, old-fashioned fun. Which means you and your family and friends can stroll across a historic New England village green, dine at an enchanting country French restaurant and roll the dice at the world’s largest casino… then hike beside cascading waterfalls or attend an art gallery opening.

To make it even more interesting, your choices change with the seasons: from lobster rolls and fried clams to award-winning pizza; from summer along the shore to autumn in the blazing hills; from concerts under the stars to Broadway musicals.

Foreign Cargo, the Wave Gallery, The Bowerbird, United House Wrecking: these are not brand names typically found in shopping malls. They do, however, reflect an extraordinary diversity of shopping experiences in Connecticut - stores that not only offer distinctive, often unique products, but capture a friendly "home town" local character that greatly enhances any shopping expedition.

Looking for the thrill of hot air ballooning or coastal kayaking? Fun food or classic dishes prepared with award-winning celebrity chefs? Hot night spots or quiet beaches? Connecting is much easier than you think.

Come visit… and discover all the ways you can CONNECT!
