It isn't uncommon to hear about garden shows. They seem to happen in nearly every city in the country. However, the one Connecticut Flower & Garden Show has built up a solid reputation as one of the most prestigious shows of its kind. Visitors are treated to the visual allure of several breathtaking gardens that are designed by some of Connecticut's most respected horticulturalists. The gardens are presented over 3 acres and include not only floral presentations but several exhibits that educate visitors about new gardening products and services. This popular festival is usually held every February.

It isn't uncommon to see babies and pre-school kids playing with iPads and being even more tech savvy than their parents. But in an age of cold technology, family experiences like a visit to the classic Bushnell Park Carousel can definitely warm things up. This vintage hand-carved carousel is a highlight of the park, and with good reason. The old-style music, the eye-catching but not overbearing lights and the friendly people make taking the kids out for a spin on their favorite wooden horse an activity that they will want to experience again and again, no matter how old they grow.

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.
