A trip to Windsor Locks, Connecticut simply wouldn’t be complete without a stop at one of its most exciting attractions, the ‘simulcast’ Bradley Teletheatre. A first-class facility where tourists and locals alike can watch and bet on jai-alai, as well as thoroughbred, harness and greyhound racing, The Bradley Teletheater is sure to provide a thrilling experience for ardent racing fans as well as first-time viewers. The off-track theater, which seats 1,200 in a grandstand arrangement, features a state-of-the-art race book and world-class restaurants including Winner’s Circle Lounge and the Turf Club. And of course, the venue features ‘simulcast’ viewing and betting, which means betting is allowed on multiple sites.
The Bradley Teletheater is just across the street from the local airport in Windsor Locks; as a result, the place becomes a particularly popular business meeting point.

While at Windsor Locks, visitors can take advantage of other intriguing attractions, such as the Connecticut Convention Center in nearby Hartford; Science buffs may be interested to know that the state-of-the-art convention center, which happens to be the largest venue of its kind between Boston and New York, is also home to the Connecticut Center for Science and Exploration. The Noden-Reed Park Museum, a 22-acre historic park, is another area of interest in Windsor Locks, as is the New England Air Museum, the largest aviation museum in the northeastern United States.
