Here’s April Break Fun! Tons and tons of things to do- no matter what the weather decides to do this week. 🤣

We also went ahead and created some sample itineraries for April Break (channeling our inner travel agents!) No matter what, there’s TONS of ideas to help you plan a fun week ahead!

See the Eclipse:

April 8th brings a partial solar eclipse to our neck of the woods. We’re not in the path of totality, but we’re about 90% of the way there.

We’ve got 50+ Viewing Spots here– and some favorites down below!

  • Connecticut Science Center: Eclipse Viewing Party included with Admission! They’ll have glasses for anyone who buys tickets in advance, plus tons of activities!
  • Solar Eclipse Viewing with CT DEEP at Harkness Memorial State Park: Glasses, Solar Telescopes, and fun in the sun (or darkness!)
  • Mystic Seaport is offering free eclipse kits,  fun at the Planetarium, and more activities included with admission!
  • Head to Lyman Orchards and make eclipse chalk art while you watch the real thing- glasses available to the first 70 people!
