Although outdoor activities are the thing to do at Acadia, there are a number of options to keep you busy indoors.
At Hulls Cove Visitor Center, you can watch a 15-minute audiovisual presentation about the Gift of Acadia. Pick up some reading material at the park's largest bookstore, which contains books about Acadia's natural and human history, art, children's stories, and more.
What role does fire play in the park? How does the park track air and water quality? What wildlife have been seen recently? Find the answers to these questions and more at the Nature Center at Sieur de Monts Spring. Explore the park's plants and animals through hands-on exhibits. A small bookstore is available. Open from late May to early October. Free admission.
Visit the maritime past at the Islesford Historical Museum on Little Cranberry Island. Exhibits tell the story of the Cranberry Isles and its people through ship models, dolls and toys, photographs, and tools. The museum can be reached by mailboat or tour boats from Northeast Harbor and Southwest Harbor. Open from late June through September. Free admission.
At the Abbe Museum at Sieur de Monts Spring, you can explore Maine’s Native American heritage from 12,000 years ago to the present. Open from late May to early October.
