2. 5.0 Full Moonshine (3 reviews)
   - Our New Favorite Spot
   Thursday: Spent 1-2 hours Distilleries
   We went to Full Moonshine Distillery a few days ago and we are still talking about it. It is a family owned business. Everybody is very friendly and helpful. It is a small cozy, rustic place. They give you four shots of moonshine with the tasting and four small drinks made with the moonshine. You can bring your own food to snack on. They do not charge for the drinks with the hopes that you will buy some merchandise. They have the moonshine for sale ,of course, along with T-shirts, shot glasses and a couple of other size glasses. All at reasonable prices. I think it is going to be our new favorite spot. See more..
   
3. 4.5 Matterhorn Mini Golf (60 reviews)
   - Mini golf must visit
   Spent 1-2 hours Miniature Golf
   
   
   A one-of-a-kind, Swiss-themed miniature golf course in northwest Connecticut, 30 minutes west of Hartford. There's something for everyone at Matterhorn: art to see, bells to ring, fun facts to glean... and all on a colorful, Par 45 course. Our Par 3, 18th hole is a 71' long Alpine Meadow complete with wildflowers (watch out for the groundhogs!). Learn about cheese, chocolate and even the Hadron Collider as you putt your way through 18 holes of adventure in Switzerland. Distant yodeling in the background fades in and out as you cover the half-acre course. Come meet our family of goats - each of which was painted by a local school or artist! (They're fiberglass but still lots of fun...). ​ Family designed, owned and operated since 2015. See more..
   
4. 4.5 The Blue House: Nice Old Things and The Junk Shop (15 reviews)
   - You never know what you might find....
   Spent 1-2 hours Speciality & Gift Shops
   
   
   It's hard to say what the average person who stops in to The Blue House will find. There isn't exactly something for everyone, but most will find an item or two that provokes fond memories of childhood or family heritage. The assortment of items is wide, and the prices are fair. This shop is wedged in with a few other similar establishments so it would be worth your while if you're into treasure hunting. See more..

6. 4.5 The Horse With The Lace Umbrella Antiques (4 reviews)
   - Prepare to be Swept Away...
   Thursday: 11:00 AM - 5:00 PM Spent < 1 hour Antique Shops
   
   
   The Horse with the Lace Umbrella Antiques is competing with several other antique shops in the Canton area, but it has a great central location, and is close proximity to several other similar shops. I found some spectacular mother of pearl Victorian globe lamps here for a fair price. You'll see artwork, home decor, soaps, and various other accessories for home, office, and general living. Check this place out if you're in the area. You might find something special. See more..

9. 4.0 Swank Pearce Antiques and Decor (3 reviews)
   - Handbags, Fossils, and Furniture, Oh My!
   Thursday: 11:00 AM - 5:00 PM Spent < 1 hour Antique Shops
   
   
   Swank Pearce is located slightly behind some other shops, but it's worth investigating. If you like vintage designer handbags and jewelry, unique vintage furniture, or odd throwbacks to former eras, this place is for you. The prices are fair and the owners are full of knowledge and information. It's a great way to spend an hour or so if you're in the Canton area, particularly if you're shopping for holiday gifts for the person who "has everything." You'll find something in Swank Pearce for them! See more..
