When it comes to historic sites, Hartford, one of the nation's oldest cities, is no slouch, nor, happily, does it lack for accessible scenic landscapes or cultural pursuits.
Wander from Salt Marsh past Shallow Waters to Open Sound without so much as getting a toe wet touring the water-oriented exhibits at the Maritime Aquarium at Norwalk, a prime, sub-surfact viewing spot where otters, penguins, jellyfish and the occasional shark are the stars of the show. Watch personable seals dip and dive, make contact with rays in the Ray Touch pool and enjoy more hands-on fun in the Touch Tank and Ocean Play Space. Catch an IMAX film in the associated theater before sailing off into the sunset.
