Intervale Center

　　You'd never guess it standing on a busy Burlington street corner, but one of Vermont's most idyllic green spaces is less than 2 miles from downtown. Tucked among the lazy curves of the Winooski River, Burlington's Intervale encompasses half a dozen organic farms and a delightful trail network, open 365...

Echo Leahy Center for Lake Champlain

　　This kid-friendly lakeside museum examines the colorful past, present and future of Lake Champlain. A multitude of aquariums wriggle with life, and nature-oriented displays invite inquisitive minds and hands to splash, poke, listen and crawl.

Magic Hat Brewery

　　Drink in the history of one of Vermont's most dynamic microbreweries on the fun, free, self-guided 'Artifactory' Tour (once you see the whimsical labels, this name makes perfect sense) and learn all the nuances of the beer-making process. Afterward, sample a few experimental brews from the four dozen taps in...

Shelburne Museum

　　The extraordinary 45-acre Shelburne Museum, nine miles south of Burlington, showcases the priceless artifacts, from America and abroad, collected by Electra Havemeyer Webb (1888-1960) and her parents – totalling 100,000 objects in all. 　　The museum is renowned for the sheer variety of the exhibitions on show, which are housed in...
