If you have more time to spend in Vermont, take the 1.5 hour road trip to Burlington. Church street marketplace offers local boutiques, coffee shops, and restaurants. For beer lovers Pine Street is home to Zero Gravity, Burlington Beer Company, Queen City Brewery, Switchback, and Citizen Cider. Foam Brewers is one of our favorites and offers stunning views of Lake Champlain and the fall foliage.
Get a good look at all of Vermont (and a little bit of Canada) from the top of Jay Peak via their Aerial Tram, the only one of its kind in Vermont.
Jay has hikes ranging from easy and family-friendly to challenging but still family-friendly. Hiking the mountain offers stunning views of the fall foliage which Vermont is known for. Please be aware of the weather conditions which can change rapidly on the mountain in October.
Jay Peak's Taiga Spa offers services for massages, facials, manicures, and pedicures.
The only indoor waterpark in Vermont!
For a classic Vermont fall experience, visit Hackett’s Orchard in South Hero. It’s a charming, family-run spot for apple picking, fresh cider, and warm cider donuts—and one Emma has always enjoyed visiting. A perfect scenic outing if you’re exploring the area. Located about an hour from Jay Peak, it makes a lovely day trip if you're arriving early or staying longer.
