    Stayed 9/20-9/27/23, beginnings of the fall color change. Stayed in a Tamaracks 3 bedroom deluxe. Very spacious and comfortable for the whole family. We plan to make reservations here every 2 years for family get together. On-site dining at the Hearth and Candle was very nice and convenient. Dined here twice. On site store has everything we drove into Jeffersonville for. Might be just a tad more expensive but worth it for convenience. Check in as Wyndham VIP owners was a breeze. We skipped the sales talk as we already been down that route several times....(haha). Property is beautiful and the grounds and our unit were well maintained and clean. No ice maker but there were two trays to make ice and an ice bucket to put the ice in. No kitchen sink strainer and no disposal but they can deal with that with a plumber. Large jacuzzi tub in the master bathroom. Nice stand up shower with a seat for the wife to shave her legs. Seating was standard and fairly comfortable. Beds were very comfortable and restful. Deck/porch was spacious and had a beautiful view of the mountains. On-site plex had everything teenagers could want and the upstairs was designed for 2 year old to about 6 year olds. Out 20 month grand daughter enjoyed it immensely. 2 nice 18 hole disk golf courses and lots of walking trails onsite. BBQ grills (charcoal) located behind the unit, along with a picnic table. We saw a shuttle bus but didn't use it. We looked at the heated pool area and it was nice and in use. One small hot tub next to it. Nice kids pools also. Will be back in 2 years.

    Great place to stay In northern Vermont. There is a ton of stuff to do with kids especially in the summer. Rain? They have an indoor play place. Sun? They have like 8 outdoor pools. The dining can be a little limited but the on-site and nearby restaurants are pretty good!

    I've been coming to Smuggs with my family for the past three years and have little if any complaints. Sure, the TVs and amenities are a little dated and the mountain doesn't offer as many trails as Stowe. But for everything you get - spacious rooms with full kitchens and multiple bedrooms / bathrooms, speedy shuttle service to anywhere you want to go within the resort, daily and nightly activities, a pool, Fun Zone and plenty of dining options, you really can't beat it. The on-site restaurant Hearth and Candle is some of the best food I've had anywhere (this coming from a snobby New Yorker), and everyone working here are extremely friendly and always in a good mood. If you're looking to take a family ski trip this is definitely the place!

    Smugglers Notch is the smaller independent mountain next to Stowe. First do not let your GPS take you via Route 108. It's closed during the winter and you have to go around Stowe. This is truly a family resort. So much for kids & teens to do. The two main peaks are Madonna & Sterling. Both have some really nice runs for intermediate skiers. Plenty of challenging runs for experts. Madonna tends to be icier than Sterling. It was fun for a few days of skiing. They do have shuttles that run from village base to Madonna base. Most parking is at Madonna base. Not much food wise tends to be open on Sundays.

    Great resort with phenomenal activities. Plenty of water options with pools and water slides. Good on premise food options . Enjoy traveling in resort on golf carts!

    SMUGGS! My home away from home. We've been going here since before I could walk (and definitely before I could ski) for a beginner or a expert nothing beats Vermont snow and nothings beats Smuggs. There are three mountains and you take a shuttle to two of them if you're staying off property. Staying on property in some areas you can ski right from your room. Which is so freaking cool! The prices are high, but it's a resort, and it's way worth it to spend the money in Vermont with fresh powder, amazing hot chocolate and phenomenal instructors. This place will always be my home away from home and the reason I continue to ski to this day! Look into a time share and staying on the property, it's really worth it if you're into winter sports

    Smuggs is one of the best skiing terrains for families and intermediate skiers. The conditions are always epic and the glades are a blast. Entertainment options mountainside are the best around. Affordability and accommodations make this one of our favorite places to ski every year!

    So we went to smugglers notch for the 4th and that was great. The facilities have major issues. The restaurants are either closed or in some cases selling outdated food products or have no stock. The half of the pools are closed or not opened. The weather is great but the amenities are non existent. The condo we are staying in has a major any issue. They are everywhere. Oh and there appears to be a major bear issue, as areas are closed off and signs everywhere to be careful. Not exactly comforting with young kids around. I would not recommend going, the first time we went it was great this time not so much.

This particular arcade is a "sister arcade" to the orginal amusement 2000 located on st. Cath one of the only arcades in Montreal. Both arcades are game focused and have no rewards system or tickets or anything like other arcades in the states or Toronto had so for me personally makes them a little bit less appealing but I take what I can get. I'm terms of size the location is not very big so often you'll be waiting to use a pinball machine or one of the racing games but the basketball game seems to be the most crowded. On a Friday night there were lots and I mean lots of high school aged kids pouring in and out of the place so keep that in mind if you're not a fan of having a lot of people in one spot In terms of actual game options there aren't to many on one side there's a line of pinball machines followed by 3 shooting type games and 4 basketball machines and on the other side there was a line of racing games followed by boxing machines. To me that isn't the most exciting options or diversity but again it's something. This arcade is a great way to kill an hour but it's not something you can spend a bunch of time with. With 20$ you can buy 80 tokens and it's more then enough for 2 people to play with try it out for yourself and enjoy bringing out the kid in you !

    Great experience, wonderful array of pinball machines…read more Correctly priced. Very popular.

They've got…read moreeverything--from old consoles and classic arcade games to new stuff that keeps it fresh. Super easy to get tokens too ($20 gets you 110, which lasts a while since old-school games are just 1 token and newer ones run 2-4). I had a great time on Burgertime and pinball--though I wish they had the Addams Family, Millionaire was still a fun one. Beyond the arcade, they've got indoor mini golf, bowling, and even a tavern, so there's something for everyone, kids and adults alike. This place is fantastic and I'll definitely be back. Pro tip: make sure to head across the street to 603 Sweets after--perfect way to end the day.

    Fun, affordable, and educational blast from the past! Fun spot is technically the largest retro…read morearcade in the world and they do a great job of keeping the spirit alive. We visited Funspot on a Saturday and was expecting a massive crowd. Even though the parking lot was pretty full, we were pleasantly surprised at how huge the place was, so the crowd was spread throughout the facility and we didn't really have to wait to play any games. This place is 3 stories and it's easy to get lost. But there's something for everyone: a huge selection of playable classics and pinball machines (which doubles as a museum), candlepin and regular bowling, indoor mini golf, a silly little bumper car area for the younger kids, plenty of newer digital arcade games, shooters, etc, skeeball, slot machines, a tavern, a snack bar, a party room, and so much more. What I want to really highlight here is the affordability: it took 4 of us 2 hours to spend our first $20. That's crazy! We could never get away with that at any arcade I've been to lately. A lot of the games, especially the classics, only take one or two tokens, and you get 110 tokens per $20. They give out those classic paper tickets which is a slight inconvenience but worth it for the nostalgia factor. The snack bar has everything you need - pizza, hot dogs, soda, nachos, etc - even fresh fruit, which was awesome! And it's all totally affordable. Also - it's completely free to rent a party table here which, again, is unheard of! What else? Tons of parking. Easily accessible. Free lockers for your stuff. Bowling deals on weekdays and Sundays. Tons of token and ticket machines throughout, on every level. Cash bingo I think? Friendly and helpful staff. Sooooo much history, like a museum that you can play in. Yes, this place is old... That's the point! You can spend all day here without breaking the bank, and come out with a smile on your face and a new appreciation for classic arcades. Take the drive! Bring the kids! Get your button mashing on!
