Take in a show, go to a concert, shop til you drop or hit up the slots and play some black jack and then go eat at the buffet! There's so much to do at Mohegan Sun Casino. My favorite memory was seeing Justin Timberlake front row! He touched my hand!...

You can join a Waka sports league and meet other people in the area while having fun or you can stop by for a day trip. Arcades, games, bar, music, good food and a ropes course. Something to do for everyone! Unless you're boring haha!

This museum has a fantastic collection of exhibits! The dinosaur exhibit is always a favorite with both adults and children! Grab some infamous New Haven Pizza and you have a great day in my book!

This is a spooky little bar that serves cocktails and mocktails! They also have fun themes for the holidays, book club and paint nights! But you have to figure out how to find the code to enter! Can you figure it out?
