Danbury is located in the state of Connecticut, 70 miles from New York City. The perfect place to explore heritage, cultural, and natural activities, there are Danbury attractions for every taste. Start out by learning about the city at the Danbury Museum and Historical Society, plus explore historic sites like the Putnam Memorial State Park and the John Rider House. Next, learn even more at the Danbury Railway Museum or the Military Museum of Southern New England.
Another one of the top things to do in Danbury is to spend time outside. Go boating, kayaking, and swimming on Candlewood Lake or go hiking, cycling, and jogging at Tarrywile Park. For an active day outdoors, play a few rounds at the golf course in Richter Park or discover animals at the Westside Nature Preserve. Guests staying at Danbury hotels can also partake in one of the many local activities. Hit a few pins at Brookfield Lanes Bowling Center, get your thrills on at the Stony Hill Driving Range, and play hockey at Danbury Ice Arena. In the evening, grab dinner downtown and catch a blockbuster film at AMC Loews Danbury 16, or watch a classic at the Bethel Cinema.
