Breweries, wineries, really nice hiking, some really great food, two of the largest casinos in the US, a decent shoreline, prime fall foliage, tons of concerts (xfinity theatre is one of the biggest amphitheaters in the US), spitting distance of Boston and NYC. There's a reason why a ton of rich people have homes in Connecticut. Everyone who says Connecticut has nothing to do has never lived in a flyover Midwest state.
