Touristy but a fun family activity. Combine this with a visit to Olde Mistick Village, which has many restaurants and shopping. Avoid Route 27 traffic by going back roads (Coburn to Hewitt to Mixtucket to Pequotsepos to Jerry Browne to Coogan Blvd).

Outdoor venue with distinct and unique shops, eateries, and seasonal events in a throwback village setting. If you love to shop this is a must do. My favorites to grab a bite to eat are Pink Basil Thai, The Bleu Squid, The Steak Loft, and Mangoes Pizza. Amazing beer selection at The Jealous Monk. Located next to the aquarium.

About a 30 minute drive from Mystic. Sample some local wines in a beautiful country setting. Has outdoor tables and a deck also so nice place for a picnic. Go for a leisurely walk in the vineyard. Be sure to drive about a half mile past the vineyard (Chester Main Road) for gorgeous pasture views!

A must do for autumn New England travelers. Buy local apples, apple cider, maple syrup, hard cider, pumpkins, gifts, and more. In the fall, watch them make apple cider with their antique cider press. Check website for apple pressing schedules.
