A classic Vermont ski getaway, popular with families because of its excellent ski/snowboard school and child-friendly amenities.

Most people probably come here in Winter, but Stowe is as charming in Summer. The gondola ride to the (almost) top of the mountain is breathtaking, and the hiking trails from there are a lot of fun. Some are trails very treacherous, so be sure to wear proper shoes and be in proper shape to hike them. The views are wonderful. I highly recommend Stowe.
3. Sunday River Ski Resort

Large resort complex for downhill skiing.
Reviewed By NewEnglandGoodLife
Sunday River offers so much fun year round for groups, couples, and families. They are perhaps best known for their skiing in the winter. They have, perhaps, the best snow making capabilities in the East, making visits here consistently great for skiing and riding. They have an expansive network of trails -- the only challenge is navigating across the peaks. If you are not careful, you could end up far away from where you are staying or are parked at the end of the day. Good news, though, is that they run shuttles to help you get around. We've begun to enjoy their adventures in other seasons. They offer downhill mountain biking, disc golf, hiking, ziplines, rock climbing, pony rides, and trampoline adventures during the summer and fall. Additionally, Sunday River hosts weekend festivals all year long. In the fall, we've enjoyed the fall festival with the Wife Carrying Competition and Cornhole Tournament. They often host live music at the South Ridge Lodge. Additionally, they often have fireworks, including on New Years' Eve. Our favorite on-mountain place to stay is at the Sunrise Condos, though we also highly recommend the Grand Summit. The Grand Summit offers breakfast at its Camp restaurant, which is a perfect start to your day of adventure.

This place has the best runs for my ski tastes of anywhere in the Northeast. I'm a 'senior' and this place is VERY "senior friendly." Also family friendly. While usual rating symbols of trails exist -- forget them ! I say 90% of the trails here are "intermediate" and just great runs. Lift capacity is excellent. Waiting in lines is rare midweek ( I never ski weekends.) The new gondola this season is smooth, quiet and all the way to the top. The base lodge is friendly, convenient, just a comfy good place to ski. Spectacular scenery -- ideal views of Mt Washington, Cannot be beaten in the East ! Downside = not many good eating spots nearby and limited selection of hotels.

Smugglers' Notch offers fun for the whole family no matter the season.
Reviewed By Kim493651 - Ottawa, Canada
Smugglers Notch is a wonderful place for families. We were 4 adults and 2 children and spent 4 days at a condo at Slopeside. The accommodations suited our group perfectly and our unit was very spacious and had just about everything that we needed for our stay. We found the “to pack” list on the website to be very helpful in planning what to bring and anything that we forgot we were able to purchase at the shop in the village. For the most part we ate our meals in the condo but we did enjoy some of the restaurants on site, all were delicious and the service excellent. I, my son (4 years old) and my daughter (6 years old) all attended alpine ski lessons during our stay. The instructors that we had the pleasure of working with were a highlight of our trip. While everyone that we encountered at the ski school was so friendly and professional, Gabby, Diane, and Ray were outstanding and I would like to thank them for making the week so fun and memorable, they are wonderful instructors. We look forward to returning to Smuggs again next! year and making even more memories

Had a fun, covid safe, outdoor experience with my extended family. My family group ranged in age from 11 to 62 years old. Some of the non skiers/snowboarders were able to experience outdoor fun too. They rode the mountain coaster!

My friends and I take the Downeaster train from North Station, Boston,Ma. To Old Orchard Beach, Maine at least 3 + times a year, it’s only a 2 hour train ride and it only takes less than 5 minutes to the beach. There’s also plenty of parking and parking lots are cheap to park at for the day. If you go after Labor Day of course everything closes down. The beach is white sand, no rocks, the water is very cold but refreshing and you can walk for miles! The bathrooms are very clean, that’s why you pay .50 to use them, the bathroom where the rides are free but the floor is always wet. Pay the .50 and change in the clean big bathroom! There’s lots of places to eat, the boardwalk, also shops and rides and games to play and a large arcade. Sorry for some negatives answers but I guess your not a “kid at heart” to have some fun!!’ It has a fairly large amusement park, been there for years as my parents always brought us up there and I still go. In the evening it can get chilly!

The beach has closed for the season
Reviewed By rosiehX5049KS
Fantastic for families. Clean, friendly beach with little water slides. Good facilities. Arcade is nice--cheaper than most arcades, and lots of vintage, mechanical non-electric games are cool. The prize sections is great--kids can get something even with just a few tickets, so there's no need to spend a million dollars just to get them a prize. Admission is a little pricey, but worth it for a safe, family-friendly beach where you kids won't get lost or overwhelmed.
