Mashantucket Pequot Museum & Research Center

I loved every second! So much to see I feel like I could have spent a whole day there. Can’t wait to go back!

Absolutely interactive experience for college age and young adults. Kept me and my friends engaged all day and I am honestly planning on going back with other friends because there is so much to see. Lots of hands on “feel this” “touch that” that was amazing for keeping everyone focused and engaged. Food wasn’t bad, someone recommended the bison burger which was wonderful but only a seasonable meal. Food prices were reasonable. Observation tower was priceless to see everyone’s reactions.

10/10 and looking to go again.

Absolutely phenomenal museum. Was very impressed with thoughtfulness of museum layout, exhibits and sheer volume of information that was carefully detailed for visitors. Went with kids so wasn’t able to read everything but already went to go back alone just to hit it all! Could easily spend all day here.

Wonderful museum with great artifacts, VERY realistic and life-like mannequins and imagery. We were amazed at how much history has been kept over the years and preserved for all to learn about and come to the knowledge of. To know where Foxwoods came from you need to go back in time where life was more primitive and nothing like the modern technology we have, use and abuse today. Here you can visually see the struggles, the triumphs and everyday living of the tribe over the course of their existence which most certainly is 100% American history. It’s a beautiful display and we think the museum captured the feeling perfectly. Very pleasant and informative staff, some of which are proud Pequot Tribal members, which is great to see. This is an educational place and WE HIGHLY RECOMMEND coming to check it out.

I've been to museums all over the world, and feel the site is in a class by itself.
The "village " portion(my personal favorite), deserves several hours for your visit, perhaps even a whole day.
I didnt interact with the staff extensively but those I did speak with with very professional.
One suggestion is : to add 'wandering docents ', particularly in the village.
