Visit Connecticut
What’s the best way to really experience Connecticut? Zip lining through treetops? Finding your moment of zen at a luxurious spa? Or would you rather take a trip back into history, or savor New England’s best seafood at a real roadside clam shack? With so many attractions and activities in one small state, Connecticut offers a complete experience in a compact package. Whether you’re here looking for things to do, or just to discover something new, we’ve got experiences perfectly designed for everyone from families to foodies.
Visit New England
What can you expect from a visit to the New England states of Maine, Vermont, New Hampshire, Massachusetts, Rhode Island, and Connecticut? For starters, everyone’s seen images of the region’s natural beauty: the craggy coastline of Maine, the blazing fall foliage of Vermont, the mountain peaks of New Hampshire. Moving toward the middle and southern states: the dune grasses and beaches of Cape Cod and heroes of the American Revolution in Massachusetts, the Colonial streets and Newport mansions of Rhode Island, and the classic town greens and steepled churches of Connecticut.

The Last Green Valley
The Last Green Valley is half the size of Grand Canyon National Park and more than ten times that of Acadia, the largest national park in the northeast. Forest and farmland make up 84% of its almost 707,000 acres, yet it lies only an hour from 3 of New England's 4 largest urban areas. Its 300,000 inhabitants reside only 2 1/2 hours from 25 million people. This relatively undeveloped rural island in the midst of the most urbanized region in the nation makes it a resource of local, regional, and national importance.
