The Danbury Ice Arena and Danbury Sports Dome offer venues for serious and casual athletes alike to enjoy year-round. For outdoor fun and hiking, take an afternoon at Tarrywile Park & Mansion, Wooster Mountain State Park Scenic Reserve, Ives Trail, or Bear Mountain Reservation and soak in the natural beauty of Western Connecticut. If you love being on the water, visit one of Danbury’s lakes and soak up the sun on a boat or paddle board. There are plenty of parks for the kids to run wild including Danbury Town Park, Lake Kenosia Park, Rogers Park, and more. Danbury also offers golf courses, a dog park, Jumpz Trampoline Sports Danbury, and Thrillz High Flying Adventure Park - no matter what kind of activity you’re looking for, you won’t have to travel far to find it.

    3. Restaurants & Shopping

    After all of the excitement of enjoying Danbury’s outdoors, you might be looking for a relaxing shopping trip and dinner out. The Danbury Fair Mall is one of the largest malls in New England, offering opportunities to shop in high-end retail stores and enjoy quality restaurants. Children love the amazing food court carousel, and the mall often hosts special events and promotions to keep every member of the family entertained. In addition to this shopping destination, there are a slew of local restaurants and retail shops to meet every one of your needs within the city of Danbury.

    4. Rich History

    Once known as the “Hat Capital of the World,” Danbury was the epicenter of the American hat industry for more than 200 years. Although the city’s main source of employment is no longer hat factories, the legacy lives on as local businesses use the Hat City name and the high school proudly champions their teams, the “Hatters.” A trip to the Danbury Museum and Historical Society can provide residents with a peek into the rich history of this area, and a fun afternoon of learning about the city they call home. Another fun afternoon can be made out of a trip to the Danbury Railway Museum, to learn about the history of railroading and how it shaped the area. 

    5. Location, Location, Location

    There’s obviously so much to do in Danbury that you may never want to leave! If you do decide to venture out of town, you’ll be happy to know that it will be an easy trip. Danbury is dissected by I-84 and Route 7, and is just minutes from I-684 over the New York State border. A mere 55 miles from New York City, residents of Danbury can easily pop down to NYC for an exciting day trip or evening out in the City that Never Sleeps. So whether you’re headed into the beautiful upstate New York, headed east to see some other great spots in Connecticut, or planning a special trip to the Big Apple, it’s all easy from your home in Danbury.
