2. Fairbanks Museum and Planetarium
Overall Ratings
4.5 based on 166 reviews
An inspired, eclectic collection that started as a "cabinet of curiosities" during the Victorian era. Displays include taxidermy, shells, tools, mummies, and artifacts from around the world. Don't miss John Hampson's "Bug Art" -- mosaics made entirely of beetles and moths -- and the seasonal native butterfly house (in the summer). Home to Vermont's only public planetarium (temporarily closed due to COVID19) and the Eye on the Sky weather center.

As always the Fairbanks Museum has something for all ages....fantastic collections in “Smithsoneum” level displays. The architecture of the building inside and out make it worth the trip! Oh and the planetarium is well worth a visit, especially with children, pretty awesome! I have been going here for over 50 years and it never gets old!

A public library with an art gallery.
Reviewed By Green1Ma
This is the downtown free local library and a museum. The architecture is stunning. The staff is knowledgeable and its fun to be able to explore on your own. Everyone is welcome to sit, read, or just browse the eclectic art. One section of the painting collection is roped off and there is a $5 charge. If you like libraries, history, or art, this is well worth a visit. There is on-street parking, shopping and restaurant nearby.

We found a maple-related item for everyone in the family, including our dog! The historical video on how maple syrup is made was interesting and informative even for my 10 year old. Shop was clean, well-organized and stocked with a variety of items.
