The Yale art gallery is free. I took my daughter even as a toddler just for a look around, since it's free there's zero commitment you can just dip in and out according to their attention span. Then go get ice cream at Arethusa across the street after!

New Haven To echo what others have said

  • Yale Art museum
  • Taste of New Haven tour (worth every penny)
  • Food Trucks at Long Wharf
  • crypt tour on the green

Here is what I’ll add :

  • Bike from East Rock to West Rock
  • Hike the big stairs at East Rock
  • Hike West Rock from SCSU campus
  • Bike to Sleeping Giant (Hamden/Cheshire) and hike to the lookout town *good 1/2 day trip
  • look up music at college st or Spaceland ballroom
  • head east on the shoreline and go on an Outer Islands cruise (brandford ish)
  • take the train to Norwalk to go to the aquarium stop in BPT on the way home (or don’t)
  • if you have a car, drive around the interior of the state. Lots of super cool roads and hikes and hidden gems for lunch in the northwest corner

You, but I still stand by the New York City option, unless you’ve already been and done things down there, and fire, someone who’s lived in Connecticut in the New Haven area all their life that’s just not as exciting as your on a budget then it makes sense if you want to just travel around here

4 days seems like a lot for just New Haven. have you thought about a day in NYC? There’s a ton more to do, and easy to get to

If you've got a bicycle id honestly recommend just cycling around to the different neighborhoods in the city. There is so many little interesting stores, restaurants, parks, & architecture, to see.

Head on down to long warf and smell the stinky harbour, and food trucks.

Tough this time of year. Yale U has many interesting sports teams, so does Albertus Magnus and SCSU. Kids like going to basketball games etc. My favorite is watching Squash, the Yale Whale for Hockey.

Edgerton Park greenhouses

Brooksvale Park in Hamden has chickens horses sheep etc and a playground.
