11 Best Family Vacations in Vermont

1. Burlington

This city offers visitors both age-friendly attractions and an intimate atmosphere as well. From pristine beaches to the scenic Waterfront Park, there’s a lot of family fun to be had here. There are also some educational attractions such as the popular ECHO Lake Aquarium & Science Center.

While veteran visitors recommend staying at the Hampton Inn Burlington – Colchester, this city is home to some of the state’s best family resorts. Don’t bother renting a car just to explore the city either. You will actually get more out of your visit doing it on foot. It’s one of the most walkable little cities in New England.

Colchester is another place to consider for family vacations in Vermont. It’s especially good if you’re into outdoor activities and getting back to nature. Colchester gives you easy access to lovely Lake Champlain where you can go fishing, motorboating, and swimming.  There are also the Green Mountains which are great for hiking, skiing, and snowmobiling. When you get tired, relax and visit St. Michael’s College Playhouse and Flynn Theater. Stay at the Essex Resort.
