We went to the Mystic Aquarium in Mystic, CT on the coldest day of the year. I'm not even kidding. It was like 2 degrees with a windchill of -20. One can only see the Beluga Whales while outside and we really wanted to see the Beluga's....we lasted all of 5 minutes. I'm not sure how the trainers do it!
The ride to Mystic was about 1.5 hours from here. It is great for kids of all ages - Boy 2 really didn't want to go, his expectations were low as he responded 'we have been to so many aquariums, I'll just stay home'. I don't think so buddy boy. We forced him and he had a great time! Anyway, while you are in Mystic, you MUST eat at Mystic Pizza. Yes, THE MYSTIC PIZZA - the one with the move that was released in 1988 where the infamous Julia Roberts got her big break! (I think...I could have made that last part up, but I really think I read it somewhere!) Not only is it a groovy thing to do, the pizza is amazing! The best pizza we have had since being on the East Coast! True Story (Newport pizza is lacking BIG TIME!)
OH, and when you go to the aquarium don't forget to ask for the military discount....it is pretty substantial!
