Foliage at Foxwoods

Foliage is a big tourist draw, and a lot of places recognize that. Foxwoods Resort Casino, 350 Trolley Line Boulevard, Ledyard, for instance, is publicizing how people can see the fall colors from various points at its in-the-midst-of-the-woods site.

Monique Sebastian, vice president of entertainment and entertainment marketing, says there are a trio of ways that visitors can enjoy foliage at Foxwoods: from its zipline, which starts 350 feet above the ground and goes at a speed of nearly 60 mile per hour; from upper-floor rooms in its hotels; and from hiking trails.

When people use the HighFlyer Zipline, she says, “you can see the amazing foliage as you zipline down off the top of Fox Tower, behind the Grand Pequot Tower, over all the forest, over the Mashantucket Pequot Museum—and that’s actually where you’re going to land. From up there, you can see all of the leaves, the top of the trees within, I would say, at least a three-mile radius...You get an amazing 360-degree view of all of the trees and the foliage that surround Foxwoods and Mashantucket.”
