A: Yes! It's an aquarium. Very kid-friendly. Also bring people who are kids at heart. Same goes for the Friday dinner and Sunday brunch.
Q: Where can we stay?
A: Here are some options:
Marriott Residence Inn Norwalk (10 min / 0.5 mile walk from the Aquarium). Pet friendly with a $150 fee per stay.
Marriott Courtyard Norwalk a little farther away, easier to park + get around (right next to Route 7 / I-95). Get the reserved rate of $266/night by using this link or calling 1-800-647-7578 and requesting the Schaefer & Whitenight Wedding Room Block (before Sept 12).
The Watershed was renovated in the spring of 2024, with a good restaurant downstairs and a lovely view of the tiny brook that the Norwalk river is at this latitude :) Get the reserved rate of $229-$249 (depending on the room) by using this link or calling 203-750-9800 and ask for the Schaefer-Whitenight Wedding Group (before Sept 14).
