you can take them on a train ride on the Green Mountain Railroad...Bellows Falls to Chester VT....kinda hokey, but kids like it. Canoe ride on the CT River in Brattleboro. The corn maze will be at Adams Farm if you haven't tried that. Visit the Mount Snow Valley Chamber of Commerce If you click on Attractions, you can find children's activities and maybe get some ideas.

Adams Farm should be a hit; my youngest loved it when she was 7.

The GMRR is going to be a bit of a ride from Mt Snow. Green Mountain Flyer Fall Trains (http://www.rails-vt.com/gmf/gmf_fall_09.html - broken link) If you do this, opt for the antique car. Pack a lunch, too. Otherwise you can buy something to eat during the brief stop in Chester Depot. Lisai's market makes some decent sandwiches, sells ice cream, candy and such.

Bromley Thrill Zone -- Alpine Slide, Mini Golf, water slide, zip lines, etc... very kid friendly.

Santa's Land in Putney.

If you don't mind driving to Rutland, the Vermont State Fair opens Friday and runs through the 13th.

Hasn't Santa's Land in Putney been out of business for years?

OhBeeHave, do you live in VT? Or do you just visit there/have a second home? Just curious because you list your location as "Inis Fada" (Long Island)
