If you have ever visited Foxwoods casino resort in Connecticut, you may already know there is plenty of things to do there besides gambling. With their four different casinos, bingo room and state-of-the-art poker room, there are plenty of gambling activities. Last month, we told you about all of the up and coming events at the Mashantucket Pequot Museum. Now that October 2019 is in full force, we are ready to give you a detailed review of what events are coming up at Foxwoods and their MASHANTUCKET PEQUOT MUSEUM & RESEARCH CENTER.
Connecticut's 'other' casino, Mohegan Sun, is just a 15-20-minute drive from Foxwoods. In addition to doubling down on gaming, dining, and shopping, you can catch WNBA basketball action and other concert and sporting events. Mystic Pizza. Savor a slice of heaven at the pizzeria made famous by the Julia Roberts movie. There's plenty of things to do like shop, go to a restaurant etc. My problem is the smoke. The smell of cigarette smoke is unbearable. Just trying to walk to the stores/restaurants my throat is hurting and yes burning. They have a small 'non smoking' casino but that doesn't really cut it.
You can discover upcoming things-to-do besides (or in addition to gambling) by reading our website. On Saturday, October 19, 2019, there is a MEET & GREET at the Pequot Museum with executive director Joe Baker.
