Mystic Seaport Museum

The Museum of America and the Sea is a great place to take the kids to teach them about the importance and effects of the whaling industry on the towns dotting the Connecticut shoreline. America's last wooden whaling ship, the Charles W. Morgan, resides at this fascinating living history museum in Mystic, a quaint seaside town about an hour outside of New Haven. Learn about the steps involved in making the perilous trip out to sea for fishing or whaling, admire the historic vessels on display here, and walk down memory lane as you explore a historic seafaring village. Scenes from Steven Spielberg's 1997 film Amistad were filmed here. Visitors can also participate in numerous hands-on activities, making a trip here an incredibly memorable one. The nation's leading maritime museum, Mystic Seaport is a must-see if visiting Connecticut.

Charles W. Morgan

Launched in 1841 from New Bedford, Massachusetts, the Morgan is considered to be the last surviving commercial ship made of wood still afloat. The ship undertook 37 whaling voyages across its 80-year career with a 38th being launched in 2014 after complete restoration. This 'lucky ship' is a surviving relic of a bygone era and offers unique insight into one of New England's most common economic enterprises. A National Historic Landmark, the ship is today docked at the Mystic Seaport Museum. Tours are available on site.

Mystic Aquarium

Hands-on underwater exploration is a key feature of the Mystic Aquarium. Come see beluga whales in a lovely outdoor area, along with African Penguins, sea lions and much more. You can also participate in special Animal Encounter Programs where you get an hour to interact with sea lions, penguins, seals and stingrays. In addition to exhilarating interactive experiences, visitors can survey marine exhibits on display at the on-site gallery. Marvel at the Giant Japanese Spider Crabs or admire sharks and pufferfish in their natural habitats. The Mystic Aquarium also features an expansive Jurassic exhibit that delights kids and adults alike.

Submarine Force Library & Museum

One of the best tourist attractions in the state, the USS Nautilus is the world's first nuclear powered submarine and the sub is open for visitors to explore the nooks and crannies of a 1950s sub docked along the Thames River. Marvel at the re-creation of David Bushnell's Turtle, a one-man, torpedo-launching submarine invented during the Revolutionary War; the inventor was from the nearby town of Westbrook. The Submarine Force Museum houses over 30,000 pieces of nautical memorabilia and the museum is actively maintained by the Navy.

Gillette Castle State Park

Stage actor William Gillette, known for playing Sherlock Holmes on Broadway for several years, had this unique mansion built atop one of the Seven Sisters hills alongside the Connecticut River in East Haddam. Located southeast of Hartford, the peculiar castle is primarily made of limestone, wood, and other utilitarian materials. The interior retains details from the mind of Gillette, such as wooden light-switches, stone columns, and medieval doors. Guests can only visit the castle seasonally, but the state park is open year-round and it highlights other eclectic areas. While outside, don't forget to visit the railroad station, vegetable cellar, and the goldfish pond.

Fort Trumbull State Park

Named after the then Governor Trumbull, Fort Trumbull was built in 1777. Located on a rocky plain, near the mouth of the Thames River, Fort Trumbull was used as part of the defense system until after colonial times. Today, it serves as a popular tourist attraction with a huge state park surrounding the magnificent fort. Once inside, one can find cannon, artillery, gun and crew display, a mock library, and more. A visit to the fort and park would take the entire day, so make sure to wear comfortable shoes.
