Cromwell’s Classic Auto Wash delivers the usual suds and chamois rubdowns. What’s different here is the outdoor decor. The little station is overrun with big, strange statues, including renditions of the Blues Brothers, a phone booth with Clark Kent changing into Superman, a giant Santa (you can talk to him by pushing a button), and a lot more.

If you’re the kind of person who enjoys miniature golf courses, but are more interested in the hazards than in making par, this is your place. There happens to be a massive golf ball on site, so if you’ve got a giant club handy, you’re set. 23 Shunpike Road, 860-632-1234.
