Located on a beautiful bay of Lake Champlain, Shelburne Farms is a nonprofit environmental education center and National Historic Landmark. The estate offers a wide selection of educational programs for students of all ages, including education resources and materials, professional development for educators, field trips for K-8th grade students, internships, and apprenticeships. The house is operated as an inn and is open mid-May to mid-October.

Shelburne Farms offers the perfect way to spend a day in Vermont with your children. This is a great place for a picnic, a hike, a property tour, or just to run around with the animals in the farmyard. There’s a big play area and reading area as well. The barn is a great building to look at and picnic outside, and it serves as the activity centre for day camps.  The rest of the set-up there is petting area for kids.
