BONUS ITINERARY - GOT KIDDOS ?
If you ’ ve got children in the back seat and you ’ re looking for things for them to do , here are some activities you can pepper into our itineraries to keep boredom at bay !
SPLISH SPLASH IN THE SHIRES Totally fun ( on a hot summer day ) is the Splashpad at Merchants Park in Bennington ! The Park , right near the center of town , is open from dawn to dusk . Sensors initiate the water jets and are operational from 11:00 am to 6:00 pm daily from Memorial Day weekend through the summer . Also make sure to check out the Thursday Night Live concerts at Merchants Park throughout the summer , with live bands starting at 5:30 pm .
FOR THE SWEET TOOTH Be a hero to your children : take them to the Chocolatorium in East Arlington . Or the Sugar Shack just north of Arlington .
TUBING DOWN THE BATTEN KILL Although you ’ ll float right out of The Shires ( and into New York state ) during this adventure , nothing is more fun than tubing down the Batten Kill !
