Lovers of the outdoors and nature can be any age, so introduce your kids to some of the world's most interesting natural wonders when you bring them to the Commerford Zoo. This is a fun, friendly and highly educational place to bring the whole family. In addition to rides, games and more, there's also a great opportunity to interact with the many exotic animals that make their home here. The petting zoo experience is highlighted by other kid-friendly fare like face painting, kiddie and animal rides and a fun souvenir shop.
Whitewater kayaking and rafting are some water recreation activities that are not for the fainthearted. When you find yourself traversing the water's natural forces, the adrenaline rush is unlike anything you've ever experienced. You can experience it in Hartford by taking to the Salmon River by way of the Jeremy River to Route 16 to experience some of the best rides that the river has to offer.
The Webster Theater has been consistently presenting some of Hartford's most memorable live shows for years–and that tradition shows no signs of stopping. From seasoned blues artists like Buddy Guy to some of today's more cutting edge acts like Panic at the Disco and Aaron Lewis, you will find that the marquee at this popular live music and nightlife venue always features an appealing yet eclectic schedule of performers.
