Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

    We met friends here for a picnic and were pleasantly impressed with our experience. Entry is free for CT license plates, and there's a lot of parking here, which is nice - we had no trouble finding a spot on a summer weekend. The whole park is spread out, and there are plenty of picnic tables and places to grille, so even when the park is busy, there's still a lot of space. There's space to walk near the beach, although I wish that more of the pathways had been paved. I did see that there was a building for parties, and the bathrooms were pretty nice. There's a lifeguard on duty if you want to go swimming.

    Another beach that was hard to visit being from out of town. Costly entry fee just to look for short time. This staff did allow a 5min drive thru which was kind of them and we were rule followers. Enjoyed seeing this rocky beach front even if it was a short visit. We could definitely see that there was a very safe area for walking and enjoying the beauty of nature.

    We saw local production of “Next to Normal”, our first time to this playhouse. Comfy seats, small so probably all seats are good seats but we had center Tier 1 which were great. Very powerful and well executed production, the themes of mental health, love and loss, marriage probably hit home with most in audience. Vocals were fantastic in this musical, acting very impressive. Parking available in its own lot. We will definitely return!

    My father loved this library...going several times a week, exploring the books, DVDs, and speaking with the team that works there. It has everything, and now includes work spaces. The events and authors they host are incredible. Be a member, and enjoy

    This wonderful farmers market has a number of vendors but we love Riverbank Farms and their wonderful fresh produce and prepared foods. Their hot sauce is awesome as is there hummus.

    What a wonderful place to hold an open air concert. This was our first time there but we will definitely go back. We brought our own chairs and were able to bring a small cooler and our own food for a picnic. We set up and had the opportunity to watch the Val Ramos Flamenco Ensemble. What a wonderful show. Essentially, we had to RSVP and we were sent tickets for the perf. Once we got there they checked us in and we picked where we wanted to sit. I definitely plan on seeing other shows.

    A taste of history of a New England town.A small building stocked with information about Westport, a fascinating place with a history of being settled by artists, actors, (Betty Davis, Paul Newman, Joanne Woodward, etc.) and musicians. F.Scott Fitzgerald lived in Westport and scenes described in "The Great Gatsby" as though in NY, actually describe a portion of Westport. The people managing the museum are highly knowledgeable and friendly.

    WHS provides the local community with a history of its town. The gift shop has a variety of lovely items themed to match the season. The exhibits are outstanding -- cultural, informative and worthwhile. Helpful staff with vast knowledge can guide you through the historic house and answer your questions. They also offer many programs for children that teach about the history of the town, the state and other important facts.

    Exhibit of posters was beautiful but needed more context and better organization. Museum is small but lovely. Not worth a long drive

    Lovely shop full of beautiful items. High end and contemporary clothing, plus, bags, shoes (so many lovely bags and shoes) and other accessories. The owner is delightful and welcoming and has curated a beautiful array of things to buy, all at reasonable prices. Small men's section as well. Off the main drag in Westport with plenty of parking. Don't miss it.

    Right there in the middle of Cosmopolitan Westport is the wildness and beauty of Buryimg Hill Beach for meditation, quiet and reading. It’s not much for walking since it’s a short beach, and one needs as hair or blanket to sit on. The parking lot is a bit of a walk, but if you are not into Compo Beach or neighboring Sherwood IslandBeach with the noise and crowds, this is a sanctuary within the Westport. A true gem within the town. I need to stop, you’ll all be crowding there and there won’t be much silence or room for me!
