1. The Many Attractions of Fairfield County, CT
For some reason, the state of Connecticut does
not always make the list of places that people
want to vacation too or even spend time in. But
these people are greatly mistaken if they believe
that there is nothing to do in Connecticut.
The state as a whole is filled with fun activities for
individuals or families to take part in, sights to see,
places to visit, and attractions to encounter. In
fact, the list of things to do in the state of
Connecticut is so big it would take a couple pages to list out.
Luckily, the owners of Hotel Zero Degrees in Stamford, CT, wish to inform people about some of the
many great and fun things to do in and around the town of Stamford, CT, and not the entire state.
While Hotel Zero Degrees in Stamford, CT, can be used as a launch point for individuals and families to
access the entire state of Connecticut as well as to the sprawling metropolitan area of New York City, as
one will soon see, there is more than enough fun to be had in Stamford’s home county of Fairfield
County, CT, to make the county itself an enjoyable vacation destination for any family.
New York City
One of the main attractions of Fairfield County is its proximity to
the state and city of New York. The close vicinity between New
York and Fairfield County draws many to the area who will use
cities like Bridgeport and Stamford to access New York City and its
many attractions.
Services and attractions in Fairfield County are directly geared
towards this connection to New York State. One such attraction
that many people find enjoyable is the Bridgeport to Port
Jefferson, NY, Ferry.
This ferry ride, about an hour and a half long, takes passengers
from the Connecticut city of Bridgeport to the New York city of
Port Jefferson. Because it is a ferry, passengers can take their
vehicles on board with them so they can drive themselves around
Port Jefferson and the surrounding area.

2. The Discovery Museum
Other attractions in Fairfield County include the popular Adventure Park at the Discovery Museum in
Bridgeport. The Adventure Park and the Discovery Museum as a whole are great places for a family to
visit while on vacation.
The Adventure Park section of the Discovery Museum is made
up of an aerial forest rope course which includes zip lines,
ropes courses, challenging bridge crossings, and a beautiful
and unique view of the scenic Connecticut forest. Closely
related is the Beardsley Zoo, where patrons can view exotic
animals and enjoy a fun day at the zoo.
Other attractions of the Fairfield County area of Connecticut
include the local professional baseball team, the Bridgeport
Bluefish of the Atlantic League of Professional Baseball, and
the local hockey team, the Bridgeport Sound Tigers of the AHL and affiliates of the New York Islanders.
Beyond museums and sports teams, the Fairfield county of Connecticut offers multiple attractions of
culture with its numerous theater houses and aquatic tours of the local coast line and its rich history.
With all that can be done in Fairfield County, CT, it has become a great vacation destination for families
across the United States.
