No trip to Shelburne, Vermont, is complete without a stop at the Vermont Teddy Bear Factory. What started as a one-man operation handcrafting teddy bears in a garage in 1981 has become today’s in-demand teddy bear factory in a 60,000-foot facility on a 57-acre campus.

Visitors can tour the factory and watch as artisans handcraft the bears at a rate of 150,000 per year. Tours are guided by Bear Ambassadors, who are fun and informative. Guests can also create their own bears, watch the Bear Doctor repair bears, and purchase teddy bears and related items in the factory Bear Shop.
