What to do and see in Burlington, Vermont (VT): The Best Fun Activities & Games
Vermont's largest and perhaps most cosmopolitan city, Burlington beckons with the perfect blend of old New England charm, arts, culture and nature. Located on the shores of Lake Champlain, between the Adirondack and Green Mountains, Burlington is one of those places you can't help but fall in love with. During the spring and summer, the streets come alive with festivals and outdoor concerts. The picnic benches, playground and bike paths of Leddy Park are filled with warm weather revelers, and opportunities to swim, fish or just kick back on the beach abound. In the fall, the Burlington Bike Path is bustling with leaf peepers who come to view the vibrant autumn colors. In winter, lace up your ice skates and head to the Paquette Arena or grab your skis and head to any of the nearby resorts. Church Street Marketplace, with its early 1900s architecture, great restaurants, live entertainment, one-of-a-kind shops and well-known stores, is the focal point of the downtown area. Anytime of the year is a good time for chocolate. Be sure to stop by Lake Champlain Chocolates for a tour and taste.

My husband and I wanted to try this for our anniversary back in April but Covid got in the way of that. We finally got a date night worked out and scheduled an hour here! The staff was great, super helpful and fun to be around. Definitely can’t say the axe stuck every time but man it was fun! We’ll be bringing back some friends for some healthy and fun competition:)

Recently had the opportunity to visit the Vermont Comedy club for the first time. What a great location for an intimate night of stand up comedy, The 2 comedians were great! the Bartenders were fun and knowledgeable about local Spirits, and the waitstaff during the show were efficient, and so quite and quick that they were not a distraction to the show.

The Esc4pe room is a Live Action Escape Game. You and a group of friends or strangers will receive a mission to complete: solve the puzzles and complete the mission in under 60 minutes. It takes quick thinking, teamwork and a healthy amount of mental elbow grease. See if you can ESCAPE!

For three years in a row, we have brought our students to Esc4pe in Burlington, and every time, with a different group of teens, they rank it as the highlight of their week-long escape room intensive. Mike and his staff are friendly, prepared, and helpful, and the challenges are fun and truly bring the groups together to want to work as a team. I can't wait to go back next year!
