My usual go to park if staying local
Bucks Hill Park - Waterbury Bureau of Parks / Bureau of Recreation

Sleeping Giant State Park

I have not been here much but the times I have were times well spent š«¶
Black Rock State Park
Ā
*There is also a well area thatās not in the same location as main swim area. Follow signs/google for directions to visit the well, absolutely beautiful but based on my previous experience I wouldnāt recommend the well side for kiddos under 12. I hav...
Indian Well State Park | Connecticut State Parks and Forests
Ā
Absolutely beautiful beach. Many memories from my childhood going here (including sunburned red as a lobster š) I havenāt been in many years as it is quite a drive from where I live but itās definitely one of my favorite beaches!
Misquamicut State Beach - Rhode Island State Parks
Ā
West Haven beach is absolutely beautiful! Super long walk (that goes beyond just the actual beach) along the beautiful sight of Long Island sound š several boardwalks to get closer to the water. Walk further down to the Veterns Memorial section for ...
Beaches & Shoreline | West Haven, CT
Restaurants
Ā
My usual go to take out place. Wide variety of options for everyone. Everything ordered has been great except for the steak & chesse grinder (a bit soggy for my liking) but other than that Iām still a loyal customer. Their Greek and Mexican speci...
Edgewood Pizza - Waterbury, CT - 866 Hamilton Ave - Hours, Menu, Order

My go to for a Chinese buffet. They do have American cuisine options. Something for everyone.

Texas Roadhouse
Ā
I shouldnāt even have to describe this establishment.
Trust me when I say just go 1 time. Youāll thank me later!
Domenick & Pia Downtown Pizzeria
Ā
One of the best Spanish food spots in Waterbury. Never had a bad meal from here!
La Cazuela West Main
Ā
Iāve been going to Yorkside since I was a kid.
Pizza is Greek style but donāt let that scare you away from giving them a try.
Definitely one of my all time CT best pizza spots. Just right next door is Toads place which is a local music venue.

Yorkside Pizza
Other Food & Drinks

Hands down one of the best ice cream shops Iāve been to. Always greated by a friendly face, you can tell they use high quality ingredients in their homemade ice cream. Tons of flavor/topping choices. They even have a to go section of ice cream, ice c...
The Big Dipper Ice Cream Parlour | Prospect CT
Ā
Iāll admit quality has gone downhill over the years, donuts not being filled as they use to etc BUT theyāre still my go to when Iām craving a donut. Dunkin has nothing on Brooklyn bakery. They also have other selections of baked good/food. A definiti...
Brooklyn Baking Company
Arts & Entertainment
Ā
Been coming here since I was a kid. They recently did a huge renovation which included lots of new additions! Best part? Itās free! Do yourself a favor & take a trip there. You wonāt be disappointed!
Yale Peabody Museum
Ā
My preferred theme park. Huge water park, lots of rides. The downside is the food BUT youāre able to bring in a soft cooler to bring your own which not only saves $ but your stomach as well lol
Lake Compounce
Ā
I love Quassy! Huge staple of my childhood summer memories which I passed down to my own children. While itās great for the whole family, I feel like itās more suited for kiddos under 12
Quassy Amusement & Waterpark
Ā
Great day trip for the family! Kiddos will love seeing all the animals. Some of the exhibits have parts to get closer to see. They have an onsite giftshop/snack shop but youāre allowed to bring your own food.
