If you like touring historic mansions, this place is superb! Our docent Midge was extremely…read moreknowledgeable and an excellent storyteller. She demonstrated a passion for the history of the mansion, the time period, and the complicated inter-relations between the involved individuals which was truly inspired and fascinating. She answered all our tour group's questions with great skill and delight. We reserved our spots online for the 90-minute noon tour today, featuring the first and second floors, the main entertainment rooms, bedrooms, and servants' quarters. On-site parking for free. The mansion has been closed for two years to renovate the electrical/HVAC system and recently reopened for public tours. They'll be opening the basement floor to show the bowling alley and vault sometime next year. If you're in the area on Dec 14, they'll be open for a festive Christmas event.

The Knowlton team including David, Shiran, January etc went above and beyond to making this event a memorable one. It was a multi-cultral event requiring many moving parts.

Anyway, you take a short trolley ride, with really not much scenery other than some bald eagle nesting posts. Then you ride back and stop at a site with other vintage trolleys. A neat thing is the seats switch back and forth depending on which way you're going. At the beginning is also a mini museum which you can check out before/after your ride. It's a fun hour or so; one ticket gives you unlimited rides for that day, so it really is a good value.

Take a ride into the past at the Shore Line Trolley Museum. Your adventure begins in the middle of a residential neighborhood at the Sprague Visitor's Center- it's the ticketing office, museum and gift shop. But the real adventure begins just outside the Center's front door where you see a set of train tracks. Hop aboard a 103-year-old trolley car and take a 1.5-mile scenic ride through a salt marsh, past the sandstone quarries, cross over from East Haven into Branford, see a few osprey nests, and spend a half hour or so at the trolley barn for a lesson on the museum's collection of street railway vehicles. There are nearly 100 vintage transit vehicles on site. Our tour guide was a delightful fellow named J. Calvin, and he was a wealth of knowledge as he spoke about the history of public transport, the difference between trolley cars, street cars, and cable cars. We stopped at about a dozen vehicles for a briefing including a horse drawn car and a mail car. We also saw a very chilling exhibit - a NYC subway car that was trapped under a pile of rubble in a tunnel connected to the World Trade Center on September 11, 2001. It was in perfect condition and after excavation was sent to Shoreline. I have to give another shoutout to our tour guide who did a great job interacting with the children in our group and made one little boy's day when he asked him to push a button on a pole, to engage the flashing lights, clanging bells and gate for a train crossing.

Creeperum was actually our second stop of the evening, and I wasn't feeling too optimistic. When we got there, our greeter told us that they had tried to do something different than your average haunted house. They were definitely right! No spoilers here, but I screamed a lot, and it was pretty entertaining. More engaging than the average jump out and scare you scenario typical of most haunted attractions, and some very unique bits. It only lasted 15-20 min but it was entertaining for sure. And no chainsaws! :) We went on a Sunday night and it wasn't busy - but it was still cheaper to buy the Groupon than to pay the "at the door" price. And if it's busy, the Groupon lets you skip the line. Highly recommend as one of the better haunted attractions in the area!

Arguably the most top notch, and scary haunted house in southern New England. It's very elaborate,…read morehas more than one event you can do (walk, hay ride), a really good gathering hub with cider and a fire pit. The event(s) themselves are very well detailed with a lot going on, automated electronic scares, surreal elements, and actors that have the timing down perfect, both scary, and just a bit of humor at the right time. They also do a very good job of keeping groups separate once you get inside. Not cheap, but worth it if you're really into haunted houses, like I am.

Been hearing about this place for years and finally decided to do it. Was surprised with how…read moreexpensive it was but I felt that the production value made it worth it.

I hate to say "all ages" because it sounds like a running around bratty kid fest, but this place is definitely not like that... You basically book online, reserve a time slot and pay for your time from 30 min up to two hours. Then you just play! Weekends are more crowded than weekdays so u definitely want to reserve your time in advance. They will also open additional hours for certain (weekday) holidays... also Note that the longer the amount of time u book, the less you pay per hour. You can play as an individual or together if you're with a group. I've alway gone with a group from 4 to 10 people. 1 day I'll get up the nerve to go solo. I love the zombie fighting game in the city. There was this drumming game that I tried and liked that I will be revisiting. Anything with aliens monsters and dragons is my speed. Staff is always friendly helpful and attentive It's the perfect place to hang with friends, family, and even a date night. You can have a bday party or other events here. If I could afford it, I would definitely visit more often. I'm surprised more people don't know about Xperiment VR . I Love it here!!!
