What to do and see in Freeport, Maine (ME): The Best Things to do Good for Kids
Local legend claims that Freeport was the birthplace of Maine, the decision to separate from Massachusetts having been made in a local tavern way back in 1789. Whether this is truth or folklore, Freeport has much more to offer, including South Freeport, a historic harbourfront village offering up a fresh catch every day. Nearby Wolfe's Neck Woods State Park and the Mast Landing Audubon Sanctuary provide nature trails with scenic views of the Atlantic Ocean over the rocky shores of Maine.

The trail is, like, 2 tenths-of-a-mile: a short shady hike through the woods until you get to a rocky outcrop with a pretty view. What's not to love? This is a great mountain for a beginning hiker, or anyone looking for a short easy-to-moderate hike. And though I didn't go in the fall, I'm sure the foliage is great!

Great experience doing the factory tour. Very friendly staff, good selection of treats, and interesting tour. You get some samples to try and the guide was very entertaining, and informative. Takes about an hour but it will be longer once you get out and shop your treat of choice.

Wait? There is a desert in the middle of the forest in Maine? Who knew?! Come spend some time outdoors exploring this one-of-a-kind natural phenomenon! You will learn about the unique geology and ecology of this place, in addition to the fascinating characters that have shaped its history over the last 200+ years. We offer a self-guided (with audio options available), short hiking trails, an incredible natural playground, a gift shop, a small art gallery, and a barn that dates from the early 1800s. We also have a lovely campground which has been completely renovated! Unfortunately, the campground is closed in 2020 due to COVID-19. We will re-open in 2021 better than ever though!
