Home to around 800 varieties of roses, Elizabeth Park is the oldest municipally operated rose garden in the whole United States. This one of a kind garden and arboretum in Connecticut is more than a hundred years old and is home to around 15,000 plants. If you are a fan of roses, then this place is a place to behold with every color of roses lining the park.
If the rose garden is not your thing, you can always check out the herb garden, perennial garden and rock garden also in this 102-acre-park. The park is open from dusk till dawn, all year round so if you're on a very tight budget, this is a place you should consider visiting.
