Library Passes for Museums
Most, if not all Connecticut Libraries have discounted or free passes to things like the state parks ( you only have to pay for 3 now inf you have CT plates, but Dinosaur State Park, Fort Trumbull, and Gillett Castle are covered by the pass), museums, zoo's, etc. Check your local library's web page or call. If they don't have what you want, check other libraries that you are willing to drive to or that are on the way to where you are going. Here are links to a few of the libraries, but there are a lot of libraries in CT. :) (If you are new to CT and don't know this- I have great news- you can check things out from any library in the state with your local library card! :)
