Some
Favorite Attractions
Ben and Jerry’s
Ice Cream Factory, in nearby Waterbury, is the most popular attraction
in Vermont, drawing thousands of people every month. The 30 minute
tour offers free samples of Ben & Jerry's Ice Cream, which vary from
day to day. One of the most “interesting” areas of the factory is
its Flavor Graveyard in back of the plant. The Graveyard is where
Ben & Jerry's least popular ice cream flavors have been “retired”.
These flavors include Bovinity Divinity, Cool Britannia and Dastardly
Mash. The tours, gift shop, and scoop shop are open seven days a week,
year round.
For cheese lovers, a visit to the Cabot Creamery is a must. During
the past 10 years, Cabot Cheese has been awarded every national and
international award for its phenomenal cheddar cheese. At the 22nd
Biennial World Championship Cheese Contest in Green Bay Wisconsin,
Cabot was recognized for the "World's Best Cheddar," and their Five
Peppercorn Cheese was voted the "Best Flavored Cheese." Take a tour
of the manufacturing plant and enjoy a wonderful selection of Vermont
products at the Visitor's Center. Tours include free cheese tastings,
special prices on selected cheeses and dairy products, coupons for
purchases at home, a free coloring book, and free mail order catalog.
Who doesn’t have a soft spot for “The Sound of Music”? The Trapp Family
Lodge is owned and operated by the Trapp family, the inspiration for
the classic musical and movie. The Trapp family first welcomed guests
to their lodge in 1950. Thirty-three years later the family opened
a new resort with the same country charm of the original lodge. Today,
the 2,700-acre resort, with extraordinary views, offers spacious accommodations
in a European-style Main Lodge with several new rooms and suites and
100 Guest Houses. There are three distinct restaurants, The Dining
Room, The Lounge and the Austrian Tea Room, which offer delicious
European-style cuisine.
The Spa at Snowflake is one of New England’s most celebrated spas.
There are 30 luxury treatment rooms each with a motif designed to
enhance your experience. Choose from a menu filled with over 120 unique
spa treatments including Traditional and Signature Massages, Eastern
Bodywork, Facials, Bridal Services and more. In addition to this extraordinary
