3 Fall Things To Do With Kids In New England

New England Kids in fall.When the temperature starts to drop, it’s time to start planning a vacation to New England with the kids. The New England region is not only one of the most beautiful places to be in when it’s fall, but it’s a phenomenal area for families. Just make sure you bundle up your kids before heading out and exploring every nook, cranny, and covered bridge in New England. 

The best place to start your fall adventure with the family is from the front steps of The Norwich Inn. We’re close to lots of unique and fun New England fall attractions that parents visiting with their kids love.

Fall Family-Friendly Things To Do Near Norwich, Vermont

Step outside and feel the crisp New England air in Norwich, Vermont. Then head out and visit these excellent fall attractions with your kids nearby, The Norwich Inn.

Montshire Museum of Science

The Montshire Museum of Science is a wonderful attraction at any time of the year and one of the best in Norwich. Your kids have the opportunity to get hands-on with more than 150 interactive exhibits. You also won’t find a better location for a science museum with more than 100 acres to explore along the Connecticut River. It’s an amazing opportunity for you and your kids, with special programming available for families as well.

Billings Farm & Museum

A short drive from Norwich will take you to Woodstock, and just outside the town is the Billings Farm & Museum. It’s one of the best places in New England to roam outside. The museum features a fully operational Jersey dairy farm, along with educational exhibits, interactive programs, and events. You’ll find unique children’s programming, including camps, learning experiences about farm life, and a sensory story hour for the young ones. Don’t leave without eating a scoop of Wilcox ice cream.

Valley Quests

If you want something to keep your children engaged while staying active, consider looking into one of the many Valley Quests. Valley Quests take place all over the Upper Valley. It’s meant to be an educational experience that involves walking, biking, canoeing, or snowshoeing. Families embark on a quest, solve clues, find treasure, and find some of Norwich’s best hidden gems along the way.

🍂 And so it begins…

Looked out the parlor window of Room 32 this morning and spotted the first little tinge of fall starting to show on the tree outside.

It’s always amazing how quickly things start to change once September arrives. Today it’s just a hint of color, but before we know it, Norwich will be putting on its full fall show.

One of our favorite times of year at the Inn is almost here. 🍁

September 1st vibes in Norwich this morning. ☀️🌿🍂

We’re in that perfect little stretch where it still feels like summer, but you can tell fall is right around the corner.

Cool mornings, warm afternoons, green hills with the first hints of color starting to show. Honestly, it’s one of my favorite times of year around here.

It’s not too late to sneak away for a late-summer, early-fall Vermont stay. Come spend a few days with us, explore the Upper Valley, eat well, enjoy a local beer, and get a little soul feeding in before the busy fall season arrives.

Sometimes a few days in Vermont is exactly what you need.

❤️ What an afternoon!

A huge thank you to everyone who came out for our first End of Summer Block Party today.

What started as a small idea from Caroline at Dan & Whit’s turned into such an amazing and fun community event. One of the best parts for us was seeing so many familiar faces that we hadn’t seen much during the busy summer months and getting a chance to slow down, catch up, and reconnect.

A big thank you to the great teams at Dan & Whit’s and the Norwich Inn for making it all happen, to the Norwich Recreation Department for their help, and to The Funky Flats for providing such great live music all afternoon.

And most of all, thank you to this great town for showing up. Seeing everyone spread out on the lawns, enjoying the music, food, drinks, and each other’s company was exactly what we hoped this event would be.

Thanks, Norwich! ❤️

💻 A 229-year-old Inn just got a brand-new website!

After a lot of work behind the scenes, our new Norwich Inn website is officially LIVE.

This has been a long project, and we’re really excited to finally share it with you. We wanted a site that better tells the story of the Norwich Inn while making it easier to explore our rooms, Jasper Murdock’s Alehouse & Brewery, things to do around the Upper Valley, upcoming specials and everything happening here at the Inn.

Take a look around and let us know what you think! We’re still putting on a few finishing touches, so if you spot something we missed, don’t be afraid to tell us. 😊

Same historic Inn. Same great team. Just a fresh new home online.

Thank you to O’Rourke Hospitality for designing and launching the new website.

Come check it out at norwichinn.com!

❤️ What makes the Norwich Inn so special? The people who work here.

We really do have the best team around, and last night we had a chance to step away from the day-to-day, enjoy a BBQ together, have some fun, and celebrate a pretty special milestone: 20 years of Joe and Jill owning the Norwich Inn!

A great time was had by all, and it was nice to have everyone together outside of work for an evening.

Most importantly, a huge thank you to our amazing team members, past and present, who have helped make the Inn what it is today. You’re the reason our guests from all around the world feel at home when they stay with us.

And congratulations to Joe and Jill on 20 years! Here’s to the next chapter. ❤️
