“The nature center is a great place to learn more about wildlife, habitats and the natural world. They have numerous informative displays, animals to see inside, as well as outside in the birds of prey cages, they have several nature trails (ranging from short to long, easy to follow and mostly easy terrain with a couple you might put in a more moderate category) they also have several events throughout the year and summer programs to check out. The nature center is also does wildlife rehabilitation so you'll also be able to learn about that. I have been lucky enough to have started at the nature center as a young child going to the summer programs and working my way up to when I was older volunteering at the nature center. I highly recommend the nature center for everyone who wants to learn and explore the natural world.”

“What a great organization! What are the best charitable organizations I've ever met in my life. It is great to see how few number of hands your donations go through before they get to the exact person who can use them best. This organization takes in anything you can donate. They have multiple methods of using the items we all can donate. Most of their items go directly to those in need in our own community. No large corporations making huge salaries and sending our items to who knows where. Check it out for yourself but if you have items to donate this is the place to bring them.”

“This review comes from my heart.. I am a partially disabled air force vet. Since the covid 19 struck i have had the worst luck you can imagine. I am 61 years old and have led my life with integrity!!!! I was laid off from my job over 6 months ago. I have no money at all. I was being evicted from my apartment and have no one to turn to for help. I am not used to asking for help. 211 referred me to Unite CT.. This is where I met Sherese. She is such an amazing person. Sherese takes her job very seriously!. She cares so much about helping people. Without her i would be homeless now. I insisted on thanking her publicly. She deserves all the kudos in the world. I just cant thank her enough. Now i understand why she is the supervisor. I wish i could do more for her. Thanks to Sherese i have a roof over my head tonight!!!!!!”

“I didn’t adopt a ferret but I did order their blankets and beds for my ferret and they’re amazing! I have a single, male ferret (my female passed away but they never were fully together due to trouble getting along- we knew he had issues before adopting him). When we got him, his shelter gave us a free bed which was just fabric and a hole for him to go inside and he LOVES it- literally the only place he’ll sleep. So I decided to look for more beds that he can go inside of, because regular blankets don’t cut it. I found this company’s ferret shop that sells them (polar sleep pouch). it is only a thin layer of fabric but I love that my ferret can go inside of it and sleep without having to mess with a regular blanket and get it to cover him without balling up. They are perfect. I also got the sleep ball just to see if he liked it, personally I think it’s so cute and would be good for a ferret but it’s a little too small for my guy. They did put in the description to only get the smaller size if you have a small ferret so that’s my bad but he does go inside to look and then comes back out- I think if it was bigger he’d like it. I highly recommend both products and this company was also amazing because I purchased these products (for a very CHEAP and reasonable price) but a few days later they had them listed on sale In their flyer so when my order arrived, I found a note and a free xl sleep tube to make up for the difference. I didn’t even look at the flyer so I was really happy that they noticed and tried to make it fair! The tube is basically the same thing as the bed, just long and open on both sides. Highly recommend!!”

“Love this place. Have so many great amenities, and the staff is nice. Brian Liss who runs the place is a great guy and really takes care of the community. I really appreciate that when coming here. The pools are nice and the basketball gyms have good pickup runs too. Great gym, has so many different things for all ages and skill levels. Never have I felt uncomfortable or felt like people were being rude to me. Also, I know many people that have been going here for 10+ years and have said nothing but great things.”

“Thank you imagination for being apart of the ct free this year so that many kids in ct can have the opportunity to explore this hidden gem. Brought the kids here and they enjoyed themselves. A huge shout out to Karen who works at the museum. You can tell she really enjoys her job and showed my children and I how to use a lot of the cool extras the museum had to offer at different stations. She made the experience that much better for all of us and was extremely sweet and helpful this was important because this was our first time visiting and we did not know much about this place. She is one of the reasons I gave this museum 5 stars. On the other hand there was another worker there with short black hair that was watching us like a hawk and picked on my kids whenever I was busy with the little one. She made them so uncomfortable they soon gave her her own name in which I don’t know her real name but my kids will consider her as the “museum police” every time she came their way. She embarrassed them and humiliated them a couple of times of front of people and I find that extremely unprofessional as they were just sitting or walking around quietly exploring the museum for their first time. I think she was not used to seeing Hispanics in the building as the non Hispanics clearly did not seem to endure this type of harassment as she chatted with them politely. I will be making a phone call to her superior and explain to them more in detail about my experience in particular with this employee.”
