Formally known as the Constitution State, Connecticut is home to some of New England’s best beaches, hiking trails, and nature reserves.

Not sure where to start? Begin with our list of top weekend getaways in Connecticut. Note: Some businesses may be temporarily closed due to recent global health and safety issues.

1. Chester

This quaint rural town offers a panacea for stressed city dwellers. About two hours from both New York and Boston, tourists will feel their shoulders relax as they wander along the charming main street. Complete with cafés and cute gift shops, the town center is the perfect place to unwind. Take the Chester-Hadlyme Ferry to East Haddam and visit Gillette Castle State Park, while you’re here. It’s an impeccably preserved, 24-room mansion with impressive views from atop one of the Seven Sisters hills. Grab dinner nearby and catch a show at The Terris Theatre, then head back for a restful sleep at the Madison Beach Hotel, Curio Collection by Hilton in nearby Madison, CT. In the morning, rent bikes to explore the area, stroll along the private beach, or have a massage in the spa.

2. Mystic

Once a booming seaport essential for the region’s trade, Mystic now boasts an impressive array of maritime-themed attractions. An hour from New Haven, this harbor town is home to a wide array of great restaurants – you’ll be hard-pressed to find fresher seafood. Movie buffs can enjoy a slice of pie at Mystic Pizza, the restaurant made famous by Julia Roberts’ film of the same name. Step back in time with a visit to the Mystic Seaport Museum. You could while away hours climbing aboard historic vessels, exploring exhibits, and visiting the shipyard. Next stop: Mystic Aquarium, where you can come face to beak with a penguin, pet a shark, and marvel at a beluga whale. Then, set sail on a trip with Argia Mystic Cruises. When else will you be able to travel aboard a schooner? When it’s time for bed, head to The Whaler’s Inn for a relaxing and romantic stay. Traveling with kids? Book the Main Inn Junior Suite – kids get their own alcove complete with bunkbeds and a TV. Read More: Top-Rated Things to Do in Mystic

3. Greenwich

A commuter’s haven, Greenwich is a mere 40-minute train ride from the Big Apple. Greenwich Avenue, with its luxury designers, upscale restaurants, and trendy cafés, can make even the hardiest of shoppers believe she’s on NYC’s Upper East Side. The Bruce Museum, a five-minute walk from the Metro-North train station, offers a cultural boost to your day, while the Flinn Gallery at Greenwich Library is a worthy spot for art lovers. Are you a nature-lover? Head to the Audubon Center for a stroll along the well-established nature trails. Greenwich harbor is a local gem best viewed from the Delamar Greenwich Harbor hotel. No one will blame you for adding a spa treatment to your stay. Read More: Top Things to Do in Greenwich

4. New Haven

Two hours of calming views soothe the soul as your train speeds along the Long Island Sound from New York. Home to Yale University, New Haven is known for its up-and-coming foodie scene and impressive galleries. The Yale University Art Gallery, for instance, boasts over 250,000 objects, including paintings by Cézanne, Degas, Monet, and Manet. Plus, it’s free. You won’t want to miss the Beinecke Rare Book & Manuscript Library, Yale Center for British Art, or Yale Peabody Museum of Natural History. Whether you’re traveling with kids or are one at heart, spend a few hours at Jordan’s Furniture store. It houses one of the world’s largest indoor adventure ropes courses. At night, enjoy a show at the College Street Music Hall or Yale Repertory Theatre.

5. Hartford

Once known as the House of Hope due to its position as a Dutch trading post, Hartford sits on the Connecticut River. Attractions in Connecticut’s capital are plentiful. You’ll kick yourself for missing the Mark Twain House or Harriet Beecher Stowe House, but perhaps the most interesting place to visit is the Connecticut Science Center. Hold a butterfly in the greenhouse, design and test a heli-flyer, or journey through the galaxy – all within the center’s walls. Other places to visit include the Wadsworth Atheneum Museum of Art and West Hartford Reservoir, a peaceful nature reserve with walking trails. Talcott Mountain State Park is 20 minutes away. Hikers who make it to the Heublein Tower (1,000-feet up) are rewarded with spectacular views over the Farmington River Valley.

MetLife's WheelCharity Workshop Makes Mobility Possible for Local Veterans has been published on Charity Team Building

MetLife's WheelCharity Workshop Makes Mobility Possible for Local Veterans

An afternoon charity team building workshop motivated MetLife employees to work hard and “play” it forward in Mystic, CT.

Partly Cloudy Outside, Bright and Cheerful Inside

Even though winter was really holding on in Connecticut, the folks from MetLife who were in attendance at the WheelCharity™ workshop the company hosted at the Hilton Mystic were warm and welcoming. They’d already spent a full morning in training and would be following the WheelCharity™ program with another training session. No one let that slow them down, though. Everyone was eager to participate, highly motivated by the chance to offer meaningful help to local veterans through the Norwich Veterans Center.

MetLife Teams Square Off in WheelCharity™

Because our time was limited, we kept our introductions brief and quickly arranged several teams. This was one of the most fun and enthusiastic groups we’ve worked with in a long time. A lot of good-natured banter preceded our mini-games where teams earned wheelchair parts for later assembly. Things that seemed easy, like the Blind Ball Drop and the Cup Pyramid, actually required teamwork, communication skills, and a lot of creative thinking! It primed everyone for the next segment of the workshop, the wheelchair build.

Teams worked very well together; it was highly competitive but also a very supportive environment. The team that finished first cheered on the others, and so on until all the wheelchairs were complete. In the few minutes we had to spare, folks decorated their wheelchairs and wrote notes for the future recipients, wishing them well and thanking them for their service.

The Norwich Veterans Center is the Winner

Mark Johnson, a representative of the Norwich Veterans Center, arrived toward the end of the program to accept the donated wheelchairs. He marveled at how many wheelchairs the group completed and thanked everyone profusely. One of the MetLife group presented Mr. Johnson with a WheelCharity™ certificate marking the occasion. He followed up with a few brief stories. He talked about how the veterans who visit the center benefited from donated wheelchairs, and he left everyone in the room feeling moved and inspired.

It was an especially powerful experience because some of the MetLife employees were veterans or had members of their family who had served in the military. This WheelCharity™ event was a great workshop where the MetLife teams demonstrated their strengths through a united effort to better the lives of those to whom we owe so much, America’s veterans.

MetLIfe's Teamwork Skills in WheelCharity Deliver New Wheelchairs to Mystic Area Veterans' Group

A hardworking team from MetLife caps a morning of training with an afternoon of service through WheelCharity™.

MetLife Meets in Mystic, CT

It was a partly cloudy spring day when 36 MetLife employees met at the Hilton Mystic for a department team building event. The group had already completed an intensive training session that morning, and it was easy to see they were pretty much tapped out. Everyone rallied though when they learned that their hard work would mean new wheelchairs for local veterans. Nearly everyone in the group either was a veteran or had family members who served in the armed forces so there was a genuine enthusiasm for paying something back to the men and women of the Norwich Veterans Center.

WheelCharity™ Gets Underway

Because the group had already spent quite some time working together that day, we skipped our usual icebreaker games and got right down to dividing folks into teams. With our mini-games, like Flip the Cup, Blind Ball Drop, Selfie Challenge, Cup Pyramid, Group Writing, Dice Bank, Wordles, Prediction, and Back in Order, teams competed for wheelchair parts. As the afternoon progressed, the energy level in the room intensified considerably.

Once all of the teams had picked up all the parts they’d need, teams, huddled to try and be the first to complete their wheelchair. They might tell you we made it harder by issuing challenges and obstacles to their work. We would tell you that we encouraged creative thinking and problem solving while giving them a chance to fine-tune their communication skills, in line with the company organizer’s goals for the event! It was a great time, and there were a lot of laughs and cheers as teams played hard to be the first ones finished. Then teams decorated completed wheelchairs and wrote brief notes of thanks and good wishes to the recipients of the chairs.

A Great Gift to the Norwich Veterans Center

The MetLife teams were happily surprised to see the arrival of Mark Johnson from the Norwich Veterans Center. He arrived just as folks finished decorating, and graciously spent a few minutes with each team before taking center stage. Mr. Johnson thanked the MetLife teams profusely for their donations through WheelCharity™. He shared a few stories about the folks who visit the center and how much services like donated wheelchairs mean to them as they struggle with issues like mobility. It was an uplifting event that touched everyone in attendance. The MetLife employees truly enjoyed the chance to work together in a way that let them bond while doing something positive for someone else.
