Great short day stop for families with toddlers through elementary kids…read more Lots of hands on exhibits and STEM stations with a sharp focus on preservation of the aquatic life on Lake Champlain. It's a very small museum/science center but you simply can't beat the views and location and it's a must stop for families with little kids visiting Burlington. Recommend a creemee from Marina up the top of the hill or a coffee from Skinny Pancake after and a stroll along the marina and pier.

The burgers were grilled to perfection:Spinach and Goat Cheese Burger for me and my husband had the VT Maple BBQ Burger on a gluten free bun.

The staff was friendly, attentive and the service was perfect! We'll be returning soon!

Great cozy pub for a rainy day. I had an IPA that was light and refreshing - forgot the name of it…read morebut it was very easy to drink and honestly might be one of the best IPA's I've had. It was also very reasonably priced for craft beer. For dinner I had the special which was a hot honey chicken sandwich that had goat cheese and string onions, served with a side salad with house vinaigrette and a side of ranch. The server did warn me, and it was written on the menu too, that the hot honey was quite spicy, and indeed it was! I was sweating from the spice, but it was good! The ranch on the side was nice to cool it down a bit. Good service, good food, but would honestly go back for just the beer! Side note: the women's restroom was very clean and had locally made soap that smelt so nice which was a nice touch.

The Fleming Museum is on the campus of UVM (University of Vermont). The hike up through the…read morecharming old neighborhoods and through the beautiful campus make the trip alone worth the walk. There was a very interesting very eclectic Exhibits. All were interesting but some of the standouts to me were the Japanese Kimonos and the inspiration for works by contemporary artists and the local artist pieces reflecting the beauty and culture of Vermont. There was a large gallery that had a huge range of works by students and faculty of UVM. The Museum is small and very doable in an hour. It is also free. You don't have to be a member of the University to get in. It is good to note that the museum follows the academic calendar - September through May and is open Tuesday - Saturday.

Check out this actually free museum on the UVM campus in Burlington. It really is free admission to…read moreget in. The Fleming Museum won't take that long to get around, but you still can see a lot. Hours are crappy because it's closed when school is closed. You should come here if interested in local artists and history. Be sure to know when school is in session, because if it's not the museum will be closed. It's free. This is among the few such museums. A lot of local art. Lots of things to check out in a small space. Amazing how much is packed in. This still won't take long to get through. Among the most notable objects is the sphere object on the cover of the Phish album Round Room. This is located just inside the main entrance, so be sure to see that. Also there's some ancient stuff like the Egyptian artifacts. The paintings collection has a few notable ones among these. For sure the best thing about it is that it's free. It's been free for awhile, but unfortunately it's only open when the college is also open. There's lots to check out if interested in local artists, and Vermont.

I had the pleasure of hosting a work event at The Main Street Landing Performing Arts Center this month and I am very happy with the experience.

Hidden gem in plain sight?…read more I've been walking past Main Street Landing for a while now and finally had the chance to stop in for a show on the top floor -- and what a fabulous space! They have ample event space and overlooks wonderful Lake Champlain! It is also located right downtown so very convenient for those people looking to walk down or are staying in the downtown area for a function. I will have to be more on the lookout for the various showings that they have - They do monthly free movie screenings (Blade Runner and Terminator are a couple that caught my sci-fi loving eye) so be sure to check their webpage for some seriously fun events! They also are host to the Vermont International Film Festival and other Burlington Film Society showings!

I want to start by saying how great the entire front desk staff and valet is here. Sarah helped me…read morewith my reservation and Dean checked me in. They were both incredibly helpful, attentive, professional and kind. I did feel very safe here. The only reason I'm taking a star off is because this hotel is surrounded by streets and it's very very noisy with the street traffic. Please also note that Google will map you to the back of the property. You enter from Main Street NOT King Street. I also was not a fan of how big the hotel was. It was quite a walk to get to our room. The hallways are very long. Overall, it's ok for a night or two but I wouldn't stay here for a longer vacation.

It's perfectly located near Church Street and Lake Champlain, and the on-site bar and shuttle service are nice perks. Heads-up: there's ongoing street construction outside that makes access a bit tricky with narrow walkways and some daytime noise. Not a dealbreaker, but worth knowing. Overall, a convenient and comfortable stay in the heart of the city. Would definitely return!
