The Hamden YMCA is a great place if you're looking for a cheaper way to entertain your family in the summertime. Not having a pool in my own backyard, visiting the YMCA and using their pool has been a great treat. It's actually one of the only pools that I've found to be WARM!
The pool can sometimes be overrun by seniors doing their laps, but for the most part open swim times are plentiful.
The YMCA also has a bunch of things for kids to do, and they have a lifeguard on staff to watch the pool as well.
They offer trial memberships, and partial memberships and each membership includes full use of their facilities. It's definitely a good inexpensive way to get involved in a good community group.
They also have a summer camp which fills up rather quickly. It's a very popular camp and they do a lot of fun activities and field trips.

OK, so I've noticed that this sandwich/donut shop is typically overrun with seniors and cops - but the food is fantastic. Sandwich fillings are served between two thick, delicious slices of fresh baked bread. My personal favorite is the egg salad on wheat with extra sprouts. The salads are great as well. Service is somewhat slow but no one seems to mind. Take a seat at the bar if you dare; I tend to grab and go.

Wentworth is definitely not a chain. They are a small ice cream shop in Hamden, CT and offer homemade ice cream that they have made for decades, out of the same shop.
Wentworth is known for their hot fudge and their flavorful ice cream flavors. They also have K9 Crunch, a dog friendly flavor that you can get to spoil your pooch should you bring them.
It's a small ice cream only shop which has a few tables to sit at, however is mostly a take-out place. They have a gazeebo around the back of the place where you can also sit on some picnic tables.
Their ice cream is terrific, but their prices have soared. Expect to pay almost $7 for a sundae.

I have worked at Wentworth's Ice cream for almost 4 years. My favorite is Peppermintstick Its only found during the winter months but it is amazing as a milkshake. When you come to wentworths you will get happy smiles, great and fast service, and amazing Ice cream. I have ate at many ice cream shoppes and I must say wentworths is always still my favorite. Now in college in RI I find myself craving wentworths and wanting to drive to hours to get there. Wentworths is truely an amazing place!
Pros: won best Ice Cream in CT 2008&2009
Cons: none!
