Things To Do
E.C.H.O., Leahy Center for Lake Champlain
ECHO is an awesome kid-friendly nature and science museum located on the lakefront in Burlington. If you guys are looking for a fun and interactive family outing, this is the place to go. Check out their website to see what exhibits they have!
Burlington Beer Trail
Looking to try some local brews? Check out this self-guided beer trail put together by the Vermont Brewers Association. You'll be sure to find something you love.
The Ben & Jerry's Factory
This location is the original Ben & Jerry's factory! You can check out the famous Flavor Graveyard, grab a scoop, or even enjoy a 30 minute factory tour (ranges from $1-$6/person). This location is on the same road as Cold Hollow Cider, the Cabot Cheese Annex, and is very close to von Trapp Brewing (yes, the von Trapps from The Sound of Music).
Cold Hollow Cider Mill
Cold Hollow is just down the road from Ben and Jerry's. Here you can grab lunch at their cafe, some fresh pressed apple cider, or some freshly made apple cider donuts. It's a fun stop to make that has a shop full of Vermont maple syrup and many other goodies you may want to take back home as well. They also have a newer hard-cider tasting room that adults can enjoy along with the other breweries in the area!
von Trapp Brewery & Bierhall
Started by the von Trapp family (yes, the "Sound of Music" von Trapps!), this bierhall is a fun and slightly historical stop for any beer lover! If you peak around you can see their entire brewing operation in action. Looking over a beautiful nature reserve in Stowe, it is only about 20 minutes away from the original Ben and Jerry's.
Vermont Lake Monsters Baseball
Named after Champ, the notorious lake monster of Lake Champlain, the Lake Monsters are a fun local baseball team to watch play. Check out their schedule to see if they have a home game for you to see!
