Toddlers in Bar harbor

Any suggestions for toddler friendly activity? We have 2 1/2 and 1 1/2 girls that are very active, we plan to go Acadia may be in September, any experience or suggestion will be very helpful.





Thank you thank you thank you very much.....

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.





Hope you enjoy your stay.

Do you like hiking? You can always plop your kids in backpacks and hit the trails. There are even a few %26#39;trails%26#39; that are short enough and flat enough that your kids can walk: Shore Path, Cadillac Mountain Loop (can get windy though), and Jordan Pond come to mind.





You can also hike or bike the carriage roads. The roads are very smooth so you could even take a sturdy stroller on them.





If you want to be by the shore you can visit Sand Beach or walk the bar at low tide.





When you are ready to have your kids burn off some steam, there is a small playground near the YMCA. Its come in handy for us.




Dear All,



Great information, we will check them all before we go, for now we are preparing all things that can help us to enjoy this vacation.



Thank you very much and hopefully that they will enjoy their Maine trip as we wished......
