Vermont Toy Museum

Reviewed By bdib - Boonton, United States

We loved visiting this place. All you heard from everyone walking through was " I had one of those". It was a trip down memory lane for our family which included our 22 year old. Toys from the 50's through current years. Truly a wonderful and fun place to walk through. The collections are outstanding and best of all it's free! Definitely a must see for young and old!

Visited Quechee Gorge on Fall Foliage tour and it was a gorgeous site. The Gorge looked beautiful with the fall colors and there is a trail that goes along the river if you are able be sure to take the short hike to the falls well worth the trip. Colors are beautiful and the falling leaves in the breeze so lovely!!!

Always a favorite with the many birds and exhibits, this location has really upped its game with its new CANOPY WALK through the trees. It is only 1 of 4 in the whole country and provides an amazing experience. If you are in the area, do NOT miss this place

Quechee State Park

Reviewed By Lauralanglois - Hudson, United States

Stayed here for 3 nights over Memorial Day weekend and it was great! Clean, quiet campground with central access to all the great sights in the surrounding area, including Quechee, Hartland, Woodstock, White River, etc. Would definitely stay again, as the sites were well laid out so that they were spread out, large, and private, so that you didn’t feel on top of your neighbors.

Although Covid has shut down Cabot cheese tasting and the train ride, the antique store with its many venders is worth the stop to poke alone.
