Who cares about the rain? It’s just an excuse to head to the It Adventure Ropes Course for a day of fun and excitement. The attraction, inside Jordan’s Furniture in New Haven, CT, has something for everyone, from exhilarating zip rails to climbing walls to a course specially designed for your littlest adventurers. The world’s largest indoor ropes course includes a double catwalk, crisscross angled rope ladders, cargo nets, bridges, swinging beams — in short, something for every thrill-seeker! And you can go in any direction you want — there’s no set path. The Little It ropes course for small kids features platforms just three feet off the ground, where adults can stay close by to help.

Immerse yourself in the literary legacy and cozy charm of Mark Twain’s Hartford home on your rainy day!

Visit the Mark Twain House & Museum, a National Historic Landmark, and see why the Clemens family loved this Hartford home in rain or shine. Daily tours take you to rooms richly decorated, many by Louis C. Tiffany & Co., filled with period pieces and domestic artifacts. There’s a lovely carved bed in the Clemens’ bedroom, a vast literary collection in the library, a fountain in the conservatory, and other delights of the Victorian era. (You can even see the Paige Compositor typesetting machine that drove the family to the brink of bankruptcy, forcing them to leave the home in 1891). The museum holds over 16,000 artifacts, including books by Darwin, Hawthorne, and others, with margin comments written by Clemens.
