Champlain Valley Transportation Museum

Reviewed By JJPompi - Noblesville, United States

We traveled from indiana to visit the museum. When we went for a tour today we were only charged $7.50 per guest. The tour went on for almost 2 hours! The tour guide was very knowledgeable! The items on display are priceless! Some of the irreplaceable items were a helicopter, cars, trucks, boats, motorcycles, and motorized bicycles. The museum also had huge bonus displays such as model trains and cars which were incredible! The museum catered to people with disabilities to include restrooms, and golf cart rides to the different museum buildings. It was also nice to see multiple seats strategically placed throughout the museum for people to sit and enjoy the exhibits. This was a great tour with a great admission fee! Must visit!

Flynn Center for the Performing Arts

An Art Deco landmark in downtown Burlington, hosting the finest international, national, and regional performing arts events in its main theater and FlynnSpace, an intimate, 150-seat venue. The FlynnTix Regional Box Office is Vermont's primary ticket outlet for events throughout Vermont, northeastern New York, and Quebec.

Reviewed By NHYankees - New Hampshire, United States

Classic theater in the heart of Burlington. We bought tickets six months in advance and paid extra for near stage seating. Parking is tricky on the street but we parked in the municipal garage (FedEx Building) which is a 5 minute walk and parking was free - just show your Flynn Center ticket. This was our first concert at this venue and we loved it! Theater is gorgeous and the show was packed and performance incredible. We stayed in Waterbury at Best Western Plus which saved a bundle. We'll be back for other concerts. Great evening!

Snow Farm Vineyard and Winery

Reviewed By MikeR586 - Shelburne, United States

I was taking a drive in the Champlain Islands to take pictures and stopped in on a whim. So glad I did. The building and grounds are beautiful (and there was some construction on an addition / new flooring for wedding and event space. Great idea as the spot id beautiful). I had two 4 taste wine "flights" with terrific service and tips from Emily and Connor. I liked each of the wines I samples and enjoyed them on the patio overlooking the vineyard and mountain in the distance. Just learned they have a summer live music series. Look forward to going back for wine and music and to pick up a bottle or two. Was solo this time, but already made plans for friends to join next trip!

Frog Hollow Craft Center

Reviewed By kytraveler800

We thoroughly enjoyed our visit to the Frog Hollow Craft Center. The work was diverse and of good quality and it was professionally displayed. There seemed to be a nice mix of price points, with everything from notecards and prints to original paintings, and a range of crafts as well. With the work being organized by artist, it was easy to identify artists whose work you might be interested in knowing more about or purchasing. It was well worth a visit.
