Daycation spots in CT and MASS

DI you guys know any family friendly daycation destinations in ct and MAss? I have a 17year old, an 11 year old, and a 7 year old....Looking for things to do next week Thanks

Six Flags... Lake Compounce... Beach...(Come to RI, the beaches are great, Misquamicut) Take ferry from New London to Block Island... Basketball hall of fame, Springfield... Just some I thought of off the top of my head... You have a broad range of ages! You don't look old enough to have a 17 year old! You can do a google search for "things to do in CT" or MA or RI, etc. And stuff will come up. Have fun. paula

I was thinking six flags too.....But to be honest with you, Lake Compounce sounds better to me.....What's on Block Island? I might like that idea too...How about some hiking spots? know of any? Thanks for the idea on googling it......will try.....And I am old enough to have a 17 year old..although you are sweet and so appreciated for saying I dont look it........

Hi Dorota... How about Mystic Seaport or Sturbridge, MA? And there's always Rye Playland (NY but still fun). Have a great time!! Kim K.

What is Rye Playland? Never heard of it..Mystic Seaport, that's a good idea....can do a whole long day in mystic, between the seaport and the aquarium....and the shoppes...thanks

Playland is an amusement park in Rye, NY. I think they also have fireworks on Wednesday evenings. Here's the website: http://www.ryeplayland.org/

Dorota, A lot of public libraries have passes to Mystic and lots of other places. I know our library has a family pass for the seaport for free admission and a discount pass for the aquarium. I forgot about that, I live so close! You just take the pass out of the library with your card and can have it for one day. Call and ask or if your library is online, you can see what they have. paula

I will stop by the library tomorrow and see what they have available....thanks for the advice....

Hi Dorota, Take them to the city and go the Museum of Natural History. Grew up down there and went there often. Awsome Place. The Indian Museum at Foxwoods is also an Awsome place. Went there while I was camping in North Stonington. Have The Sub Museum in Groton( It's Free and you get to walk thru the Natalus", Mystic Aquerium and Seaport, The Essex steam train and boat ride is fun. Just a few thoughts, Heck take then to a pick your own farm. Peaches, corn, blueberrys are ripe now. Have a great time!

What city? New York? Or Boston?...And oooooh, the Essex Steamtrain and boat ride sounds like fun indeed.... i was thinking about going to Boston , Maybe Wednesday and Thursday, the only overnight we would do....I really love it there...I also Love New York, and I will talk to hubby about taking the kiddies there........thanks Julio......and yes, picking our own fruit is so much fun, will put that on the idea board as well... Thanks....
