Big Picture Cafe and Theater

"Off the Charts Family Friendly!"

This place hits it outta the park on my family friendly scale! Where to begin? The menu has more than something for everyone. There is a kids menu (noodles & cheese, hot dog, lil burger, fruit, etc..), but we didn't even order off of it because there were so many other great choices. Breakfast is served til 3pm so you are pretty much covered cause what kid doesn't like breakfast? And oh yeah, they do the local thing like a good Vermont restaurant should ;-)

Then there is the huge playground adjacent to the place with picnic table and outdoor seating. They also do "cartoon lunch" on Fridays where they play old fashioned cartoons on the wall in the lounge (think Donald and Mickey) and the kids can play with the toys that are there and parents can chat and order up some chow.

Thursday mornings during the school year there is a playgroup that meets there too from 9-11.

Then there is the movie house of course. Not your plain old movie house though. Some regular seating, but up front there are some couches and then plenty of space for your little ones to play around. No need to sit still. Nice.

Yeah, we will be back. Did I mention they serve beer in the movie theater? (shhhhh)
