Mystic, Connecticut | |
| Connecticut's maritime life, past and present, is all on view in and around this interesting Connecticut Shoreline town and its famous Mystic Seaport Museum and Mystic Aquarium & Institute for Exploration. | ||
|
Mystic Seaport Museum is one of the top tourist attractions in New England, drawing large crowds every day of the summer. The Mystic Aquarium & Institute for Exploration features fascinating exhibits of marine life, and on the adventures of undersea explorer Robert Ballard, who led the team that discovered the wreck of the Titanic. The town of Mystic is quaint and pretty, with interesting shops, lots of restaurants, and a bascule bridge that will interest anyone who likes antique engineering. The huge open-air Mystic Seaport and the Aquarium are big enough to handle the crowds, but the capacity of nearby hotels, motels and inns is not—they're all packed to capacity in July and August, and guests must prepay their entire stay. Make your reservations early! More... You can easily get to Mystic by car or train. |
