Things to do in Connecticut, United States: The Best Monuments & Statues

October 27, 2021 Frederic Celentano

Connecticut is a study in attraction and contrast. In one small state, you’ll find miles of sandy oceanfront shoreline, acres of forested hiking trails, and world-class museums, art and theater. Here family-friendly adventure parks and aquariums are just minutes from dynamic casino resorts and quaint, historic small towns — offering experiences that range from culinary to cultural, luxurious to laid-back. It’s the perfect place to unwind and recharge, all at the same time.

There are lots of things to see and visit when at Foxwoods and although I miss the show that use to take place at this statue it is certainly beautiful when lit at night. Check it out and see for yourself.

Iwo Jima Survivors Memorial Park

Reviewed By 179billz - New Britain, United States

It doesn't take long to tour this little site, but it's an emotional experience as well as being educational. In this day when it's national news when a few of our service men or women lose their lives overseas, it's astonishing to read about the staggering number of people who's sacrifice did so much to bring an end to World War Two. It will help you to appreciate the few veterans of that war who are still with us. I live just down the street, and I'm embarrassed that it took me a few years to get around to stopping by.
