Summer Activities for kids in the Bangor Area

We love the area we live in! Since moving back to Maine we try to get out and experience a lot of the area. I decided to come up with a list of summer activities for kids in the Bangor area to share. I’d say since we have probably done about 60% of these things with the kids. Who knows – maybe we will cross some more off the list this summer!

Most of the activities listed below are linked to websites with more information. Get out there and have some fun!
