Peter Pan Lines

Pros: A good way to get from one big city to another. Cons: I expected a bus depot in Danbury where I could buy water and order a taxi for my final destination. It was just a sidewalk with people hanging around. It was in the 90 degree heat wave and no shade.

The Elizabeth Park Conservancy is a spread of formal gardens and grounds where you can walk, picnic, and catch outdoor concerts or tours. Kids will love the antique carousel in Bushnell Park, as well as the hands-on exhibits at the Connecticut Science Center. For those who prefer to wander through cute downtowns, West Hartford offers some of the best shopping in the area.
