Sports and leisure activities Connecticut

While its clock museum will not excite children, Bristol also has a place that will appeal especially to the youngest: Lake Compounce, a fairly complete amusement park, which offers big wheels, improved swings, roller coasters and other crazy train carriages. It is the oldest amusement park in the United States. There are many water activities on offer, so be sure to bring your swimsuit!

This is the city's stadium, which was inaugurated in 1975. Whether you want to watch the Hartford Wolf Pack (the town's hockey team) play, support the UConn Huskies (the basketball team representing the University of Connecticut), attend a pop concert or a professional wrestling match, the XL Center is the place to be in Hartford. Unlike many stadiums, it has the advantage of being located in the heart of downtown, close to the train station, so you can walk to it. On match nights, the atmosphere is friendly and relaxed.
