Thinking of family fun activities near South Windsor CT then you should definitely give Frisbee golf at Wickham Park a try.  I personally discovered Frisbee golf shortly after I moved to Colorado in 1998 and with very little money we were looking for some fun.  Then came Frisbee golf.  Frisbee Golf is a fantastic way to enjoy the beautiful outdoors and have a little fun with friends.   We all need more exercise in our lives anyway.
