Located in Portland, ME inside Jordan’s Furniture, this is one of the most fun ropes courses. Great for a rainy day and fun for the whole family. There is even a mini course for the kids too little for the full course.

Perfect for younger children but kids up to 10/11 will also find fun things to do. Great spot to go on a rainy or hot day if you are near Farmington, ME.
Western Maine Play Museum
Bar Harbor and Mount Dessert Island are fun to explore. It your outside plans get rained out, go check out Seal Cove Auto Museum. It’s a blast for all ages.

Cabin Rentals and Camping in Seboomook Lake, ME

Hiking out to Bar Island in Bar Harbor is an absolute must…if you can time it right. You can only do it at low tide when the sand bar is visible or you will be stranded on the island until low tide comes back around.
Bar Island — Maine by Foot
Fort Knox is an amazing place to wander and discover. Great for learning some of Maine’s history and for physical activity. Bonus- leashed dogs are allowed in the fort, not the observatory.

So much fun the kids won’t even know that they are learning. No, that’s a lie. They will know but it is definitely fun learning. Make sure you bring quarters to buy food to feed the bears through a chute. It is an experience all on its own.
Maine Wildlife Park
The Coastal Maine Botanical Gardens are beautiful in the summer but they really turn magical in December. Your kids (and you) will be delighted in this walk through lights display.
