Don’t Let Rainy Weather In Norwich, Vermont, Ruin A Vacation

A child looking at Weather In Norwich Vermont.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.”

Don’t Let The Rain Get You Down

Rain happens sometimes in Norwich, Vermont, so there is no reason to let it ruind your vacation. As you can see now, The Norwich Inn is there to help. Read more about The Norwich Inn in our travel guide. We’ve been in New England for a while. The Norwich Inn’s history dates to 1797, located near Dartmouth College. When you stay with us, we guarantee you will have plenty of things to do and see. Call us today at 802-649-1143 to learn more about our Inn (or check availability online).

🍁 Right now, the fall foliage might be the number one reason to visit the Upper Valley, but there are SO many reasons to keep coming back!

Freshly baked treats at King Arthur Baking, a stroll around Dartmouth, exploring the Montshire Museum, a visit to Quechee or Woodstock, discovering the shops and restaurants in White River Junction, catching a show at Northern Stage, or simply stopping into Dan & Whit’s to see what they have that you didn’t know you needed. 😊

And of course, we think a stay at the Norwich Inn and a meal at Jasper Murdock’s Alehouse should be on your list too! 🍺

We love calling this little corner of Vermont home, and there’s always something new to discover, no matter the season.

So tell us, what’s YOUR favorite reason to visit the Upper Valley? We’d love to hear what keeps bringing you back! ❤️

🍁⛲ A little fall joy at the Norwich Inn!

The leaves are changing, the air is getting crisp, and our fountain is still flowing… for now!

Before those chilly Vermont nights get cold enough that we have to shut it down for the season, come enjoy one of our favorite little spots at the Inn.

Take a stroll through Norwich, soak in the fall colors, stop and enjoy the fountain, and maybe stick around for a bite to eat or a locally brewed beer.

Sometimes the simplest things bring the most joy. 🍂❤️

🌧️☀️ Pouring rain and blue skies… all at the same time!

That’s fall in New England for ya! 🍁

One minute the sun is shining, the next it’s pouring, and somehow the fall colors look even better through it all.

Never a dull moment when Mother Nature is putting on her autumn show here in Norwich. 🍂

🍂 They say if you catch a falling leaf in autumn, you’ll have good luck for the next year…

Judging by the number of leaves coming down around Norwich right now, your odds are looking pretty good. 😂🍁

Fall has officially taken over the Upper Valley, and we’re soaking up every last bit of it while we can.

So get outside, enjoy the colors, and maybe try your luck at catching a leaf or two. We could all use a little extra good fortune for the year ahead!

🔥 You know what this means…

The Homecoming bonfire is going up on the Green, which means Dartmouth Homecoming Weekend is almost here! 💚

The foliage is showing off, alumni are making their way back to Hanover, and another Dartmouth tradition is getting ready to light up the Green.

Welcome back, Dartmouth alumni! We’re looking forward to a great Homecoming weekend. 🔥🍁💚

🍁 Norwich was showing off a little this morning…

The colors are really starting to come alive around town, and every morning seems to bring a little more red, orange and gold.

If you’ve been waiting for that unmistakable Vermont fall feeling, it’s here.

Take the scenic route, grab a coffee, explore the back roads, stop for a local beer, and just enjoy it. This time of year never lasts quite long enough. 🍂

Come see Norwich in all its fall glory!
