Killington Resort Partners with Wonderfeet Kids Museum for New Interactive Exhibit

KILLINGTON, Vt. (January 16, 2024) – Vermont’s Killington Resort, the largest ski and snowboard resort in Eastern North America and part of POWDR – an adventure lifestyle company announces the opening of a new, interactive exhibit at the Wonderfeet Kids Museum in Rutland, Vermont on Friday, January 19, 2024.

The Killington Resort Mountain Playground exhibit is the largest in the museum’s new space on Merchant’s Row and spans all four seasons of mountain adventure. Children will be fully immersed in all the activities Killington has to offer. They’ll be able to pedal bikes to get a taste of mountain biking available in the summer and experience snowboarding using Burton Riglet snowboards to get a feel for the winter months. Other interactive activities include a slide, a mini rock-climbing wall, a magnetic wall to design your own trail system, photo stand-ins, and even a kids' sized Waffle Cabin.

Wonderfeet Executive Director, Danielle Monroe says, "This exhibit engages children of different ages in imaginative play as they develop gross motor skills, balance, and strength; but we also love that it celebrates the special family memories that we create when we play outdoors together."

This exhibit was made possible by funding from Play Forever, Killington Resort’s commitment to support environmental and community-focused nonprofit organizations.  Through Play Forever, we are committed to ensuring that future generations have the same opportunities for an adventurous life that we enjoy today.

“We are all about sharing the love of mountain adventure at Killington,” says Kristel Killary, Killington’s Brand Marketing and Communications Manager. “As a local parent myself, it is very exciting to partner with Wonderfeet in its new, bigger location to bring this exhibit to fruition.”

Wonderfeet Kids Museum’s mission is to play and learn together to build healthy children, stronger families, and a more vibrant community. 8,000 square feet of colorful and creative space is dedicated to bringing families together and supporting healthy childhood development. They will welcome over 30,000 visitors this year to their location at 66 Merchants Row in Downtown Rutland.
