FAMILY FUN
A great place to stretch your excitement muscles would be at any of the several
amusement parks, loaded with rides and arcades. Places like Funtown Splashtown
USA will, without a doubt, bring delight to the whole crew. York’s Wild Kingdom even
brings together an amusement park and zoo in one place.
Sometimes you need
to take a break from the
beach to see what more
is in store for fun in
The Maine Beaches.
A warm-up like that will leave you looking for more, especially for the adventurous
types. Those looking to get their feet off the ground should try the zip lines and
ropes course at Take Flight in Kittery. Really get your feet off the ground (like several
thousand feet) to see The Maine Beaches from a bird’s-eye perspective on a scenic
flight over the region from Sanford Seacoast Regional Airport.
A little less heart-pounding, but no less exciting, is a competitive round of mini-golf.
Give the course at Pirate’s Cove in Old Orchard Beach a go, enjoy a little go-cart
action at Wonder Mountain in Wells or play a rousing round amongst the animatronic
dinosaurs at Raptor Falls in Arundel.
Baseball is the national pastime and there are many ways to get out to the ballpark
here. The Maine Beaches is home to the Sanford Mainers playing at historic Goodall
Park in Sanford—where Babe Ruth played his last game as a Boston Red Sox before
being sold to the New York Yankees. While you are there, take a swing at some balls
