I am extremely excited to announce that my kids and I will be heading off to Killington, VT to check out Killington Resort’s Summer Adventure Center this year! The resort is gearing up to offer guests an alpine mountain coaster, maze, ropes course, zipline, hiking center, and more! While the alpine mountain coaster is set to be ready late July, the kids and I will take full advantage of checking out all of the other attractions Killington has ready for us while staying in a suite in Killington Resort’s hotel.
My youngest is super excited for us to be staying in a suite, the kids have never stayed in a hotel, so far the oldest and youngest are ecstatic for this experience while my middle child is needing some convincing. You see, my middle child cannot imagine a world not filled with YouTube at every corner, but he always comes around and has a blast wherever I drag him to 😉
I know right now that the Roaring Brook Mining; a kid-friendly adventure; grab your personal bag of hidden gems and head to the sluice to uncover your treasure, will probably be my sons’ favorite place to go as they love them some “treasure”. Disc golf sounds fun too, as we went somewhere local where disc golf was setup, but no discs available, so we were bummed to miss out on our first disc golf experience … hoping Killington Resort’s Summer Adventure Center brings us many first together as Mom and children!
I will experience one day with my children and a second day as an adult only day – this is a way for me to have a blast making some memories with the kiddos on day 1, and getting a much needed Mama adventure alone the next night and day. I think balance is important in life and looking forward to a little balance up in Killington, VT soon.

Never been to Vermont, but it is on our short list. This looks like a great place to add to our list!
Wow, only $39 for an all day pass? This sounds like the perfect Summer adventure in beautiful rural scenery. I like how there’s a little bit of something for everyone in the attractions.
That sounds like a ton of fun. You can’t be $39.00 for a full day, either. That is SUPER affordable.
Killington Resort sounds like a fantastic place to go for a weekend with the family. The day passes are a great deal. I will have to check it out the next time i am in the area.
I have never been to Vermont. I have always wanted to go to Killington but never thought about going in the summer.
I have never been to Killington I wasn’t even aware they had such awesomeness as this!
I have visited many times.. Even hiked down to the back side of killington into Rutland. My sis lives there so we go to Vt quite frequent
I was at Killington in the spring – my daughter will be attending Green Mountain College Killington School of Resort Management! My Quadruplets turn 18 on July 17 ~ what an awesome adventure this would be!
