Dinosaur State Park, Thu 20 Sep 2007
One of the best dinosaur stops we've ever made. A fantastic indoor exhibit along with activity room that engrossed our toddler and preschooler. Beautiful grounds with outdoor activities led by volunteers (cast your own dinosaur footprint). Short nature trails surround butterfly gardens and other native plants. Just a great spot right off of I-91.
