Frommer's Review

A $193-million trickle from the floods of cash washing over southeastern Connecticut and its resurgent Indian Nation was diverted to create and develop this museum. Opened in 1998 to substantial fanfare, it has justified the hoopla with a carefully conceived mix of film, murals, models, dioramas, and re-creations of scenes of Native American life. The Pequot Village exhibit has wigwams and life-size figures shown fishing, cooking, butchering game, and making baskets. The museum's website offers mountains of historical information. Lunch and snacks are served in the restaurant, and there's a shop with books, jewelry, and crafts. A shuttle bus provided by Foxwoods carries visitors to the museum and back.

About Our System

Frommer's ranks every hotel, restaurant, attraction, shop, and nightlife establishment it reviews for quality, value, service, amenities, and special features using a star-rating scale, an expression of the strong compare-and-contrast opinions that are a brand hallmark.

Other ratings provide stars based primarily on price and amenities; the Frommer's star rating is meant to quantify the kind of intangible, experiential elements that help travelers make informed decisions.

The "baseline" recommendation is zero stars--every hotel, restaurant, attraction, shop, and nightlife establishment that Frommer's chooses to review is recommended; otherwise, we simply wouldn't include it.
