Boothbay Harbor: Fun Things For Families To Do

Winter,Spring,Summer & Fall: Boothbay Harbor is a tiny lilttle coastal town with some great things for families to do. Along your way into town you will pass the Boothbay Train Museum. This is a great place to stop and take a train ride around the grounds which are filled with reproduction buildings dating back to the early 1800’s. Another place to spend some time is the Maine State Aquarium where you will learn about the life of a lobster, enjoy a petting tank and see a rare blue lobster. Maybe your family would like to hit the links and play a round of golf. The Boothbay Country Club is a great course with some great views. They also have a driving range on-site in case you just feel like hitting some balls. Once you are in town, you can take your pick of boat tours. From seal watches to whale watches the choice is yours. Does the family feel like taking a cruise to Cabbage Island and enjoying an old fashion lobster bake? Not into boats well, the town is filled with gift shops, antique shops and a wonderful candy shop that makes it’s own salt water taffy while you watch. There is an antique candlepin bowling alley in the middle of town for those who want to try their luck. It’s also fun to just walk around town and over the footbridge to get to the other side of the peninsula to enjoy some great seafood out on the decks. Boothbay is a great family getaway and offers visitors plenty of things to do.
