For Kids (info courtesy of Acadia National Park)
We believe that every child should have the opportunity to explore Acadia. For a list of experiences in the park that every child would benefit from enjoying, read the Children's Outdoor Bill of Rights. To get an idea of some of the activities in the park, visit Things to Do - For Kids.
To learn more about the park, you can explore the "For Kids" section of the "old" website. Discover what rangers do, animal habitats, and more. Until we move the "For Kids" information to this site, you can access it here.
You can discover the unique qualities of Acadia National Park and the Maine coast through a selection of books for kids. These books, and many more, are available in Eastern National bookstores throughout the park.
We've also put together a list of links with fun activities, games, and more for kids.
