Sometimes the weather in Norwich, Vermont, doesn’t cooperate with our vacation plans. It would be best to turn your attention indoors rather than take advantage of the New England countryside. Thankfully, if you are caught in this situation, there are things for your family to do when staying at The Norwich Inn. We’ll walk you through some fun and exciting indoor activities if the rainy weather in Norwich, Vermont, gets in the way.
The Montshire Museum of Science
The Montshire Museum of Science is less than a mile away from The Norwich Inn, making it one of the best places to visit if the weather catches you off guard. But it is a great place to visit no matter what the weather is like. It’s an interactive science museum that can be enjoyed by guests of all ages. There is a wonderful mix of new exhibits throughout the year that includes indoor and outdoor features.
Vermont Toy Museum
This is a beautiful place whether you are a child or a parent. It’s about a 15-minute drive from the Inn. Your children will love the variety of fascinating toys in the Vermont Toy Museum. But also, it allows grownups to reconnect with their inner child. Show your kid a toy you used to play with when you were their age, or watch the joy wash over their face when they find something new and exciting to bring back home.
Upper Valley Aquatic Center
The Upper Valley Aquatic Center is a great place to visit with your family. The aquatic center is around a 10-minute drive away from The Norwich Inn. A splash park includes a lazy river, small waterfalls, a kiddie pool, and other water attractions. For the brave, according to their website, you can climb “20 feet to the top of our speed slide and take a 110-foot corkscrew to ride out of the building before landing back inside.”
