Beyond Downtown

There’s much more to enjoy in Bridgeport than just the downtown. The Park City is justly famous for its many parks—including two that were designed by Frederick Law Olmstead, designer of Central Park—and a variety of amenities and attractions. Here are just a few of the highlights:

Captain’s Cove
Captain’s Cove Seaport is one of Connecticut’s premier tourist attractions and seaport complexes. Located on Historic Black Rock Harbor, the complex is an active maritime and amusement center with boating slips, seaport events, quaint boardwalk shops, harbor cruises, a waterside restaurant, live entertainment and even a heliport!

Connecticut’s Beardsley Zoo
The only zoo in Connecticut provides a wonderfully wild experience for families, students and you! As an accredited member of the American Zoo and Aquarium Association (AZA) and participant in its Species Survival Plan (SSP), the Zoo is committed to the preservation of endangered animals and are continually developing strategies that will protect species and preserve their wild habitats. Open year-round and exhibiting almost 300 animals – including several endangered species such as tigers and bears – the Zoo is a great place to spend the day (and to visit often for our many special events).

The Discovery Museum
The Discovery Museum and Planetarium's mission is to educate, excite, and engage visitors in the exploration of science, technology, and ideas through interactive experiences that promote new insights. The Museum seeks to enhance public understanding of the science and technology by providing instructive experiences encouraging participant interaction with hands-on physical science exhibits, Planetarium programs, the Challenger Learning Center and various other educational programs. The Museum provides a broad range of educational programs in science and technology, as well as in the area where the two disciplines interact.
