Dog Days of August at Gillette Castle

Living local but haven't been to Gillette Castle yet this summer? Looking for something to do to cool off during the 'dog days' of August? Have you run out of fun ideas of things to do with the kids?

Pack a picnic and enjoy lunch and hiking on the castle grounds. For a nominal fee of just $6 for adults and $2 for kids ages 6-12 (kids 5 and under free), you can tour the interior of the castle!

One of Connecticut's finest state parks. FREE admission to the grounds!
