This place won't be everyone's cup of tea, but it is my favorite neighborhood watering hole. I love the friendly bartenders, TouchTunes jukebox, and dartboard. There is an outdoor patio and this is a good place to come watch one of the sports on TV.

Outdoor Activities
While I have to admit that I have never gone to the museum, I love to walk the extensive trails here that take you through field and forest along the Winooski River. I've seen owls here on occasion, as well as snakes, birds, beavers, etc.

You can identify a Burlington resident if they are sporting one of Jennifer Kahn's many cool jewelry items (earrings, rings, necklaces). A lot of her stuff is sold at shops around town and the summer farmer's market, but this is her shop that has it all. It's located in the Soda Plant on Pine Street in the South End which also has other cool shops to check out

This place is absolutely stunning with a gorgeous farm barn that looks like it belongs in the English countryside. No kids necessary to enjoy walking here. At the barn there are chickens, goats, cows, and pigs. Kids will have the opportunity milk a cow, take a tractor ride, and sample cheeses that are made onsite.
