Kid's Activities in Acadia
Kids Activities in Acadia
This is a partial list of activities we did with our kids. We have a guide to send you as this site unfortunately limits suggestions by what comes up in their list. They have missed a lot. A few suggestions not on their list are tidal pool explorations, numerous hiking trails, Diver Ed's Dive-In-Theater, becoming a junior ranger, Sherman's Toy store, and even Southwest Harbor Library. The library has story times, games, seminars, active lecture series, and other activities all week.
Visit the Lobster Hatchery, do a salt water marsh walk, and learn about Maine Sea life and the lobster industry. There is a Hands-on exhibit and touch tank for children. This is a good thing to do on a rainy day

Echo Lake-This sandy beach is great for beach toys, water guns, and burying people in the sand. The water is @ 15 degrees warmer for swimming than Sand beach on the park loop road. There are Lifeguards on duty from Memorial Day to Labor Day.
You can also kayak on the lake away from the swimming area at Ikes Point. Across from Acadia Mountain is a parking area. If you go down through the woods to the water, there is a bluff that children love jumping off.

This is a natural seawall made of stones, boulders, and ledges. The scenery is spectacular. Enjoy listening to the waves, watching lobster boats, or playing in the tidal pools. Picnic tables with Bar-B-Q grills are near by, so bring a lunch and visit for awhile. At night, you usually see shooting stars if it is not cloudy.

Near the Bass Harbor Lighthouse. Trail is about 1.5 miles round trip. Fairly level path that start inland, going through the woods, and ending at various points on the ocean where the children can explore the tidal pools at low tide before circling back. Also do the Wonderland trail closer to Seawall. Same features: easy walk, forest to ocean, 1.5 mile hike.

Bass Harbor Lighthouse-one of the most visited and photographed lighthouses in New England. It is land-accessible. Children love exploring all over the rock ledges below the lighthouse. Would recommend for older, sure-footed children only. This is a great place to get beautiful Sunset pictures.
