All weekend at Mohegan Sun, browse the newest cars, vans, hybrids and SUVs while asking questions at the Connecticut Auto Show. Kinds under six get in for free.

On Saturday, take part in the final I-Park open trails event of the year with forty-plus art installations. This free family event also features a scavenger hunt for kids.
