4.0Ben & Jerry's(3.561 reviews) - Enjoying Ben and Jerry’s Ice Cream Thursday: 12:00 PM - 6:00 PM Factory Tours
Good trip. We arrived at approximately 7:30 pm and made our way into the line. There were roughly 20-30 people in front of us when we arrived. The line moved smoothly and quickly and there was an employee at the front of the line who was willing to answer any questions that we had about the different flavors. Once we placed our order, we waited for roughly 15 minutes to receive our ice cream. There were multiple tables and chairs outside that one could sit on while waiting for their ice cream. There was also a Ben and Jerry’s van that provided for a great photo opportunity. The only downside is that the ice cream was VERY pricey (almost 14 dollars for 2 separate orders of a single scoop of ice cream). Definitely worth checking out but will not be coming back again due to the price. Tip: It took about 30 minutes from the time we got in line, to when we got our ice cream.See more..
4.5Cold Hollow Cider Mill(1.023 reviews) - Great tourist stop! Thursday: 8:00 AM - 6:00 PM Factory Tours
If you are visiting this area during the fall foliage, I would assume this would be a must stop! My only negative is apparently everyone else knows that too! It was very busy. Multiple tour buses get off here, so I recommend to get here early so you can beat the crowds! The apple cider donuts are the main attraction, but they have a lot of things to shop for souvenirs as well. You can make this a long stop if you want, or can just do a quick one and grab some donuts and cider!See more..
4.5Vermont Teddy Bear Company(605 reviews) - Adorable inside and out Thursday: 10:00 AM - 4:00 PM Private Tours • Factory Tours • Bus Tours
Love the cute photo props outside and brightly painted facade. We went Sunday morning and it was empty. The lack of variety was a little disappointing, but... not sure disappointing as the lack of quality. My expectations were set up too high by the outside appearance. There were couple of t-shirt styles and couple of sweat shirt styles, neither with an embroidery (just print). When trying to choose a bear, we stuck to the traditional, small $39.99 one. Unfortunately, 6 hours later, one of the eyes fell out. It appeared that the glue was never placed to hold it. It's a pretty serious issue to try an explain to a 10 y.o. who spend an hour picking a bear with the "right face" and "the best eye color". Not sure how this will end, but still waiting to hear from the customer service about the "Bear Hospital " arrangement. It could've been a great experience...See more..

If you are looking for a great tour to learn how maple syrup is made, Green’s Sugarhouse is your place! We are staying in Lake George, from MD and wanted to visit VT during our stay. I called Monday and Pam easily scheduled us for a tour Wednesday morning. She was super friendly and incredibly knowledgeable! My husband, kids (ages 10, 12, 14, 15) all enjoyed ourselves and were excited to purchase some products in their shop as well! Would definitely recommend and plan to continue purchasing their delicious syrup since they ship their products!!! . Thank you Pam and Rich! See more..
