    We have been attending the Downtown Cabaret theater for 40 years. In fact I met my husband on stage there! It is a wonderful charming venue that puts on professional shows. Go!! You will not regret it. Bring your food and your drinks and make a party out of it with friends!

    The planetarium show was great!! Also loved the little kids mini indoor adventure course. Other things need updates but my 3 year old still had fun.

    Relatively long (about 4 miles long) waterside paved walk. About half of it borders a beach and teh other half a stone breakwater. There are about 6 or 8 very interesting statues that are worth a look. One is of P.T. Barnum who was the mayor when the park was established.

    The owner made the experience great! He was very knowledgeable and comes up with very interesting drinks rather than just tasting spirits alone. I highly recommend this experience, and the award winning spirits!

    A beautiful park where you can walk, run or bike by the sea. They have plenty of benches to sit and have a bite to eat or just look at the water. Some folks actually fish right of the sidewalk. It is very peaceful and quiet, essentially a neighborhood park. Usually on the weekend of the 4th of July you can also see the fireworks.

    A comfortable way to get from Boston to Long Island without passing Manhattan. The ride is about one hour and 15 minutes long. If you go with your car you need to arrive 15-30 minute before departure. I recommend to reserve tickets ahead of time as the ferry tend to be full (especially during peak hours) Food available on board. However beware: Restrooms are not clean and no changing table for babies (man or woman restrooms).

    We stopped to see this beautiful building completed in 1893 by Barnum, called The Barnum Museum Institute of Science and History. It was closed for renovations after storm damage in 2010-2012 but we found the door agar and were permitted a sneak peak. The museum now is about the life of P. T. Barnum, who lived here, was the mayor of Bridgeport in 1857 and where he built his “Iranistan” mansion. Inside was a nice model of the big circus tent, his bust and several large elephant photos.
    Great historical stop.

    A truly amazing venue. As you walk in you realize this is a very special place. I used to visit this place when it was a baseball park, but as a music venue, it is really amazing. The stage, the sound the seats; all top notch! Bridgeport knocked it out the park! The music acts which have come so far, are really top notch. This has become a true shining piece of Bridgeport.

    A hidden gem near Bridgeport downtown. I have a beautiful walk with my parents visiting from Vietnam. There are so many saints in one cute place.
