GREATER MYSTIC CT
Home to the tall ships of Mystic Seaport and New England’s only beluga whales at Mystic Aquarium, the town of Mystic exudes New England charm. Shop one-of-a-kind shops downtown (with its landmark Bascule Bridge) or at the quaint Olde Mistick Village. Adults will enjoy steamed lobsters on the dock; kids, the chug of the Essex Steam Train or a mug of delicious apple cider at America’s oldest steam-powered cider mill. Catch a play at a seaside playhouse, or catch a fish on one of our many charters. Enjoy impressionist paintings at the Florence Griswold Museum, or a splash of history at the USS Nautilus & Submarine Force Museum. Or just relax at the beach while the kids splash in the waves.
As New England’s hands-on aquarium, Mystic Aquarium offers unforgettable animal encounters, fun interactive experiences and dynamic learning opportunities for people of all ages. Sea lion shows, beluga whales and African penguins make it a special place, while deep-sea exploration exhibits make it one-of-a-kind.

New England Charm. Napa Style. Jonathan Edwards Winery was created from the simplest of concepts – make great wine and enjoy life more often. Our Tasting Room is open 7 days a week from 11am – 5pm (*4:30pm on Saturdays May – October due to weddings). Vineyard tours every Saturday at noon.
Now in its 45th year, the Olde Mistick Village has since grown significantly. Local residents and visitors from all over the world come to enjoy everything the Village has to offer. From its humble family beginnings, the beloved community of shops and restaurants has continued to operate out of love, from the Olson family to yours.
We hope that all who stroll the walks of the Village will become as personally attached to its atmosphere as we are in creating it.
