1. 5.0 Thorncrest Farm and Milk House Chocolate (49 reviews)
   - It's name is "Milk House" for a good reason
   Spent < 1 hour Speciality & Gift Shops
   
   
   Lots of reviewers are saying that Kim's chocolates are terrific (no argument there!) but the milk from their dairy is so good it's worth the trip to Thorncrest Farm even if you're not buying chocolates. At $6.50 a gallon you will pay more than you might at the grocery; but, if you're in the habit of buying half gallons because of freshness issues, go ahead and get a gallon here. It is so fresh that your refrigerator will keep it good for weeks and it might be more economical than those two half gallons you've been buying. And it's really good! See more..
   
2. 5.0 Ivy Mountain State Park (1 review)
   - A lovely walk, great for dogs.
   State Parks
   Great walk but moderate difficulty because of inclines and very rocky footing. 110 minutes, not quite 2 hours at steady pace. Last 1 mile on road back to parking. Beautiful running water, woodland and birds, marsh and top of rolling hills. Wear sturdy boots and not sneakers. Watch for white paint markings on trees. Parked on road right side of road before garage on left. If you pass the amazing stone wall or bridge you have gone too far. Really worth your time, you will be glad you went. See more..

4. 4.0 Miranda Vineyard (65 reviews)
   - Best wines !
   Wineries & Vineyards
   
   
   Ideally located in the rolling Litchfield Hills near scenic two-lane highways, covered bridges, and antique shops. Its bright and airy tasting room and large exterior deck make an excellent place to sit, relax, have a glass of wine and enjoy the company of good friends. The Vineyard is two hours from New York City. A visit to the area with its famous autumn foliage, historic sights and many wineries makes a great day trip. See more..
   
5. 4.0 Action Wildlife Foundation (61 reviews)
   - Amazing
   Thursday: 12:00 AM - 11:59 PM Nature & Wildlife Areas
   
   
   Amazing park. The owner was very nice and making jokes. The museum inside had all of the animals you can think of. Outside you can buy food to feed the animals. The entrance fee is very affordable, compare to other Zoo parka we have been to. These guys need better advertismen, for more parents to see the place and bring their kids. See more..
