Vermont｜Burlington VT｜Checking In on Viral Spots 📸 Vermont’s gems aren’t just about natural scenery—these viral spots are totally worth a visit. Grab this guide and go! 😉 🏁 Shelburne Farm 📍 Address: 1611 Harbor Rd, Shelburne, VT 05482 💵 Cost: Free entry, paid guided tours available This farm is actually a lovely NGO focused on agricultural education～ 🌟 May to October is peak season with tons of free activities: watch milking sessions 🐄, interact with lambs (the little animals are so cute!), or learn to garden with farmers. Paid options are fun too, like cheese-making demos 🧀 or tours of the historic inn (converted from 19th-century railroad tycoon Vanderbilt’s daughter’s home—so much history～) The farm is huge, with over 10 miles of trails—you could spend all day here! But we had a funny mishap 🤣: We wanted to drive to the inn and gardens, but a parking attendant said, “Only guests or diners can drive in; otherwise, walk.” Then another staffer heard us complaining and laughed: “No such rule! That temp didn’t know what she was talking about—ignore her!” Felt totally “tricked,” but it was hilarious～ 📍 Vermont Teddy Bear Factory 🏁 Address: 6655 Shelburne Rd, Shelburne, VT 05676 💵 Cost: Factory tour $5 Surprisingly few people here—maybe because it was a weekday? The tour didn’t do much for me (I’m just not into teddy bears 😂), but kids would love it! The guide’s lines and tone were super “kid-friendly,” like “Aww isn’t this bear adorable? 🐻” Our group had 7 adults: a cool with a nose ring, a tattooed guy… the vibe was a little weird. Until the cool suddenly gushed in a high-pitched voice, “Wow that’s so cute,” and I realized: no matter your age, you can have a little kid at heart. Am I just old? 🤔 📍 Ben & Jerry Factory 🏁 Address: 1281 Waterbury-Stowe Rd Route 100, Waterbury, VT 05676 💵 Cost: Factory tour $7 This is Ben & Jerry’s first US factory—small, but full of charm! 🎉 The tour is simple: watch a short film about their founders (funny and inspiring!), check out the only production line (watching ice cream come to life made my mouth water～), and get a free sample of a limited flavor. Pure happiness! There’s also a crazy popular ice cream shop (lines forever 🍦), a gift store, and the must-see “flavor graveyard—“tombstones” for discontinued flavors with funny reasons like “Too sweet” or “Low sales.” So cute, kinda sad～ ⚠️ Strongly recommend booking online! Tours run every 30 mins but are limited, so on-site tickets might sell out. Don’t miss out! (Last one in the comments) #Vermont#Burlington#ViralSpots#OffTheBeatenPath
