When you think of the coast, think of Mystic Country. The Coastal region offers adventure fit for visitors of all ages. Along the way, stop into the Mystic Aquarium where Dr. Robert Ballard founded the Institute For Exploration (IFE) to bring you one of the most interactive marine life experiences in the country. Afterward stop by the Mystic Seaport museum and tour the night sky at the Treworgy Planetarium or visit the preservation shipyard to see ships and vessels both new and old.

Shopping in Mystic Country means an eclectic mix of the expected and the unexpected. Make a day of a trip to the Village and get lost in the sprawling 17-acre outdoor mall, so much so that you’ll need a map to navigate all the shops and rides. At the Village you’ll find old-time trinkets and rare antiques amongst new and recognizable brand names. Stay into the evening and enjoy live acts and performances appropriate for the whole family during your trip to Connecticut. If you’re looking to simplify things, spend the day in a Connecticut state park. Relax on the beach, plan a picnic, engage in a friendly game of mini-golf or rent a boat to take out on the water. Everything is available to you here; you just have to know where to find it! If mini-golf is for the kids, Mystic Coast boasts multiple public golf courses to accommodate the beginners to the advanced.

See the Mystic coast from the ground, air and water. Hot air balloon tours are sometimes the only way you can truly soak in the scenery - unless you’re afraid of heights, of course. In that case, tour the streets of New London County by foot or trolley. If you have the stomach for it, let one of the sail tours guide your visit of Mystic Country. Make each adventure your own and let us help you plan every step of the way!
