New England Coast Offers Perfect Family Getaway
BAR HARBOR, Maine—Bar Harbor and the nation’s first National Park East of the Mississippi River both occupy Maine’s Mt. Desert Island, making excellent dual destinations for vacationing families. Kids of all ages are kept thoroughly entertained in the village and Acadia National Park. Perhaps nowhere else in the country can kids learn more about American history, geography, ecology, nature, and wildlife in one magnificent setting, (and love doing it!) The geography ranges from meadows to mountains and the ocean makes itself known everywhere provoking each of the senses. In the park, there are ranger led programs throughout the year as well as area outfitters and guides to lead mountain climbing, ocean kayaking and hiking treks. Theatres, restaurants, arcades, souvenir shops and a green common with live music and other entertainment keeps the family amused in the village with numerous restaurants and a variety of lodging to fit each family’s lifestyle and budget. In addition, Acadia & Bar Harbor offer some quirkier attractions-not typical of the National Park scene. (Consider Diver Ed’s Dive-in Theatre where the entertainment is always live and the theatre is an LCD projector set up in the mini-theatre of a 51 foot power boat. The star of the show is Ed as he dives into the deep to find sea creatures as the kids watch in awe from above.) No doubt about it. Kids love Acadia National Park and Maine’s loveliest coastal village. Media Contact: Hailey McDonald, hailey@atmstravelnews.com www.barharborinfo.com Click here for Media Kit
