Share:

Activity Overview

About 15 minutes south of Burlington, VT lies Shelburne and The Vermont Teddy Bear Factory, a fun-filled destination for kids of all ages.

The factory, set in the midst of Vermont's scenic Green Mountains, demonstrates how the Vermont Teddy Bear Company became the largest maker of hand-crafted teddy bears in America.

30-minute tours of the factory provide a "behind-the-scenes view...from cutting and stitching to stuffing and sewing." Visitors will receive history from the tour guide and be able to see the sewing machines and all equipment needed to manufacture these endearing bears.

Things to Do

  • After the tour, visit The Bear Museum and browse The Bear Shop for souvenirs and gifts.
