From weathervanes, quilts and American art to transplanted 1950s era homes, a railroad station and a fully outfitted steamboat, the Shelburne Museum really does have a little of everything on display. Nearly 40 buildings, filled with various exhibits, span the museum's 45 acres. There's even a respectable collection of impressionist paintings, featuring the works of Degas, Cassatt, Manet and Monet. Approximately 8 miles from downtown Burlington, the museum is open from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. daily.
The ECHO Lake Aquarium and Science Center is part of the Leahy Center for Lake Champlain, which is dedicated to educating visitors on the fragile Lake Champlain ecosystem. While small, the-the marine-focused children's museum if full of hands-on exhibits and is sure to keep kids entertained. It's open year-round from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m.
