Such a random thing to find! You have to walk through an entire furniture store to access this ropes course. Also in the “It” section are a musical water fountain, an ice scream shop and pizza place. My husband and I had a blast. We went before noon and only had to share the course with two other people. There are lots of levels and lots of choices on which obstacles you’d like to complete to get around. Multiple zip lines as well. We chose the line that took us directly over the fountain, so that was a cool view. It’s $25-30/pp, depending on whether you decide to free fall at the top. And it’s for an unlimited time. You can stay up as long as you want, but once you descend (by stair or by fall) you are not allowed back into the course. Free lockers are provided.

Visit Connecticut's first cat cafe! Hang out with a bunch of lovable cats while enjoying a coffee and cinnamon roll. All of the cats are from a local shelter and are adoptable. It's a great way to get your caffeine fix and cat fix at the same time, and it's an excellent way to help cats find permanent homes. Reservations recommended.
