    If you are someone that loves history Fort Ticonderoga has a really impressive collection of…read moremilitary memorabilia and well preserved buildings. The entrance fee is $30 per person but includes access to all of the buildings and Mount Defiance (short drive). If you're not too into the military aspect you can just walk around and enjoy the beautiful views and immaculate grounds. The garden is stunning and they even have a small working farm with seeds and veggies for sale.

    We had such a blast! The musket and cannon demonstrations were so fun. There was a lot for the kids…read moreto enjoy. Walking throughout the fort there were games for the kids to play, they tried writing with a qu'il, and were given small wool scraps to take home. We explored the gardens and the kids ran and got all of their energy out in those wide open spaces! There were beautiful apple trees and more buildings to explore. We didn't sign up to do the boat ride but that is available and is a great way to extend your stay at the fort! The staff was all incredibly friendly understanding of children's needs. We couldn't ask for more with a family day out at a historical site! It was such a joy to enjoy! The gift shop had so many gems it could be very easy to end up with super cool toys Tshirts and yummy treats. Drive out slow and be ready to pull over to read the informative stones on the way out. Worth it!! Don't forget to check out mount defiance after visiting (otherwise it's $10 a car to check out) and on your way there there is a park with a beautiful waterfall to look at.

    Now I can't say that I have had the pleasure of stopping in at their actual orchard to tour their…read morecomplex, but yesterday while spending time at the Brattleboro Gallery Walk I taste tested a few of their ciders and spoke with one of their employees regarding the orchard. All I have to say is Wow! Ok, maybe I have more to say. The employee representing Champlain Orchards was polite, knowledgeable and a hell of a salesman during the Gallery Walk. We ended up trying a few different types of ciders, but the Macintosh and Maple sealed the deal for us. It was so good that we returned to buy a few four packs and bottles. In the end, if you don't like super sweet hard ciders then this is the cider for you. It was crisp and delicious but not overly sweet.

    Took a couple of trips to figure out when this place was really open, and it was worth the effort…read more A family run place that has a lot going on. We were able to get there for the Cider Garden to be open. Two flights got us a taste of almost all of the ciders! available. What a great variety. We ordered our flights and a couple bowls of soup at the counter, and found a seat in the garden. Surrounded by the orchards and flower gardens, this was a fantastic setting to sample ciders and have a bite. Soups were brought to us in the garden, and we really had a chance to enjoy the day. We stopped in the store to get a case of our favorite ciders to take home - and, of course, a couple fresh apple cider donuts for the road.
