What travellers are saying
- LilacwheatyNottingham, UK854 contributionsJust went for a quick afternoon walk on a sunny October afternoon. Easy to find, good parking, several map boards. We did a circuit of a small lake/ large pond and came across a few chipmunks, which always make us smileWritten 16 October 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- notconnectedtoservicDurham, NC147 contributionsJanuary is a great month to visit here. It's "Absolute Baloney " month. We read in advance about free admission. Sure enough, and it was a great museum for railroad buffs and model train fans. Outdoor tour was a little on the chilly side after a cold front came through. Dress accordingly. Arrive early. Lots to see. Early closing.Written 14 January 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.

- Andrew GDanbury, CT17 contributionsThe mall is well kept and has plenty of options to shop. Some of the stores are more upscale so make sure to bring some money!Written 11 December 2019This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- TheT2 contributionsI retired last year and this is my 77th hike. I have traveled quite a bit and I have hiked A LOT. Today at Bear Mountain Reservation I saw the lake often. I saw a deer, a coyote, and some hikers told me of a momma bear and cub that was reported. AND - we got a photo of a bald eagle. So those who report nothing to see are not looking. Also, this is not something I am not able to say often, the hikers that I spoke to on the trails were AMAZING!!!! I cannot wait to return here. SERIOUSLY - a bald eagle.Written 18 August 2022This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.

- 754alphajnorwalk, United States3 contributionsevent was nice, not too big, not too small. You can see no matter where you were seated. I'd recommend itWritten 8 March 2020This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
- Michael BGreenwich, CT116 contributionsExcellent beer and friendly staff. We sat outside. Inside taproom seemed pretty nice too. No food, just food trucks. Pretty isolated location which was part of the charm.Written 31 December 2021This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- JennDanbury2 contributionsLove the staff at The Dome. My children attended summer camp there and it was safe, fun and they got plenty of exercise. We've also had birthday parties there and my son has played soccer there. The staff is all polite, friendly and helpful. The place is very clean and well kept. Great place for kids and athletes to train.Written 12 August 2020This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
- lee_2000_usaConnecticut USA113 contributionsRichter is one of the nicest public courses around, and in general the folks are polite, too. Not an easy course, short, flat, or beginner course; best enjoyed if you already know how to play and can appreciate a nicer course. Some holes penalize even a small mistake; if you're having a bad day Richter could make it a very bad day; but neither is it insanely difficult. It is also a pretty course. However, there can be "other" issues, for example, if you mistakenly golf when there is a tournament going on, play can be very slow. (Tho, I suppose this is true of many courses; I'm not sure how many rangers Richter has to keep folks moving along, but they could use more. One kind of "expects" players to know the etiquette on a nicer course (???)
If you already know how to play the game and can be patient when (sometimes) play is slow or there are other annoying issues; highly recommended.Written 6 August 2019This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

More like a run of the mill rest area. Ok to stop for a bio break or rest, but does not provide the character of the state (at least I hope it doesn't).Written 20 December 2020This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Bruce SDanbury, CT5 contributionsGood trail for a short flat hike. Problem is, lots of road noise due to proximity to Route 7. Also, the Gun Range is across the road ... lots of noise (gunshots) in the warmer weather.Written 5 March 2020This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.
