Bar Harbor in August

Could anyone give me some suggestions on what to do for an entire week in Bar Harbor? We will be traveling with a one and a three year child. What%26#39;s the most fun for them to do? We rented a house just three blocks from the Main Street of downtown Bar Harbor.

My kids really enjoy running around in the Village Green and Agamont Park. Plus there is a nice little playground at the YMCA that is fenced in where you could take a little rest while they play.

Also, the library has a toddler story/song time on Wednesdays at 10 a.m. that is a lot of fun.

Walking the carriage roads is also nice with small children. The road is wide and they can run and explore. We like to park on Rt 233 at Eagle Lake and just walk a little ways and turn around.

Walking across the sandbar at low tide. The kids can pick up shells and watch the seagulls and boats.

There is a wading pool called Glen Mary that is great. I don%26#39;t know how long it will be open. The pool is roughly half the size of a football field and it is only about 2 feet deep at the deepest. It%26#39;s filtered and kept very clean. For me, it%26#39;s so much better than a regular swimming pool since the kids can really spread out because the whole pool is shallow. It%26#39;s not like a regular kiddie pool at a community pool.

OMG, thank you so very much for the tips! I never even thought about story time at the library. That will be a cute add-on to our trip. Hopefully, the weather will stay nice while we%26#39;re there! Thanks again!!!

Just to let you know that Story Hour does not take place during the summer months at the Bar Harbor Library. But the wading pool is a great place for young children, just be advised there is no life guard on duty.
