Shelburne is nestled on the shore of Lake Champlain in Chittenden County. Here you will find several one-of-a-kind, beguiling kid-approved attractions. While Shelburne isn’t short on culture or history, it’s more famous for its family-friendly attractions.
Perhaps the most popular one is the Vermont Teddy Bear Factory which has been in business making teddy bears since 1981. There’s also Shelburne Farms, the Shelburne Museum, the beach, boat launch, and nature park. Adults may enjoy the Fiddlehead Brewery, the Shelburne Vineyard, and the Kwiniaska Championship Golf Course which comes complete with great views of the massive Adirondack Mountain range. Book your stay at the Smart Suites or the G.G.T. Tibet Inn.
Not to be confused with the iconic 1969 music festival in Bethel, New York, this Woodstock is a laid-back spot for a classic New England family vacation. It features multiple comfy bed-and-breakfasts and gorgeous scenery. If you’re part of an active family, you can all enjoy such active pursuits as hiking, golfing, fishing, and visiting local farms and historic sites too. Head for the Marsh-Billings-Rockefeller National Historical Park and take a tour of the mansion, grounds, and surrounding forest. Book your accommodations at the popular Hotel Coolidge or the well-known Woodstocker B&B or Woodstock Inn & Resort.
