Fodor's Choice

A restored woolen mill by a waterfall holds Quechee's main attraction: this marvelous glassblowing factory, store, and restaurant. Water power still drives the factory's furnace. Take a free self-guided tour of the downstairs factory floor, and see the amazing glassblowers at work. The store sells beautifully crafted contemporary glass and ceramic tableware, which is also used in the excellent, sophisticated restaurant with outstanding views of the falls.

Vermont Institute of Natural Science Nature Center

Next to Quechee Gorge, this science center has more than 40 raptor ambassadors, including bald eagles, peregrine falcons, and owls. All caged birds were found injured and are unable to survive in the wild. In summer, experience "Raptors Up Close," a 30-minute live bird program that happens three times a day. An ADA-accessible Forest Canopy Walk gives visitors a bird's-eye view as it reaches 100 feet above the forest floor.
