If you love Ben & Jerry’s ice cream this is the place to be.  What can you say about it that you don’t already know about it?  The ice cream is fantastic and Ben & Jerry are known to be pretty cool guys.  The factory tour isn’t that exciting but I enjoyed the free sample at the end of the tour.  The kids had a really great time.

Echo Lake Aquarium is a great place to visit while in Burlington.  It has permanent and nationally-acclaimed changing exhibits. Some of the exhibits include detail on the huge ecosystem of the lake which has one of the world’s oldest coral reefs and hundreds of species of fish and plants.

I’ve know about Simon Pearce for at least 3o years.  Back in the day when he was making everything himself, that was when I first found out about him. If you like glass and a great place to have a nice meal, it’s worth the trip.
