Top 10 Kid Friendly Things To Do and Attractions in Sebago Lake

"Four miles southeast of Portland on Cape Elizabeth, 90-acre Fort Williams Park is worth visiting simply for the panoramas and picnic possibilities. Stroll around the ruins of the fort, a late-19th-century artillery base, checking out the WWII bunkers and gun emplacements that still dot the rolling lawns (a German U-boat was spotted in Casco Bay in 1942). The fort actively guarded the entrance to Casco Bay until 1964. A favorite feature of the park is the Portland Head Light."

"It’s located within Fort Williams State Park and well worth a visit. The Press Hotel is a member of Autograph hotels so naturally everything about this place is immaculately designed!. Formerly a printing plant, the hotel redesigned the space with spacious rooms, (comfy king size beds and huge bathrooms!)."

"Just under a half hour from Kennebunkport is Fort Williams State Park and the Portland Head Light guarding the entrance to Portland Harbor. Commissioned by George Washington, the Portland Head Light is a Maine icon, and worth a selfie for sure."

"Not quite a zoo but a great place to view native Maine wildlife, this park is a bucolic reserve with picnic tables, short walking trails and animal enclosures. Residing here are various animals (30 species, including bears, moose, lynx, eagles, cougars and a beaver) that can't be released back into the wild because they were injured, orphaned, or raised in captivity."

"Be sure to spend some time shopping and grazing your way through Portland’s Old Port where you’ll find shopping galore. A popular stop is Duck Fat, for their fabulous fries cooked in you guessed it…duck fat. Another famed restaurant here is Eventide Oyster Co, renowned for their oysters and fresh seafood."

"The key to great gelato is truly capturing the essence of the main ingredient and, in turn, making it so decadent as to cause your eyes to roll back in your head after every bite. With so few ingredients involved, it goes without saying that they have to be of very high quality. Gorgeous Gelato sources the best milk from local farms while procuring other ingredients from the places where they thrive."

"When Chef Lee Farrington closed her beloved East End restaurant, Figa, in 2014 she vowed she would be back. She kept that promise by opening LB Kitchen, an oasis of cuisine that both tastes good and is geared toward making you feel good. This is apparent from the menu’s invitation to "Drink. All. Day. Long." from an assortment of freshly made juices, superfood smoothies and high-quality coffee."

"so here's a restaurant that your kids can let their hair down!. Tables are close together, it's usually pretty packed and don't be in a hurry because food prep is s.l.o.w. They fill up quickly during the dinner hours so try to get there a bit before lunch or supper."

"Editor's Note: There's no photo available at the time of writing. The Great Lost Bear has been a mainstay in the Portland area for years now, and for good reason. This small, yet popular restaurant serves up some of the most delicious and indulgent comfort food in the area!"

"It can’t be all lobster all the time, but good thing there are places like Quiero to break up the barrage of seafood. This Latin cafe serves baked sweet and savory empanadas, tamales, Cubanos, and Colombian hot dogs, just to name a few of the best things on the menu. Their quick counter service means more time to check things off your Portland to-do list too, like heading across the street to the historic district and Western Promenade or the Portland Museum of Art."

"Artemisia Cafe is one of the top brunch restaurants in Portland, ME. You can find all of your classic brunch foods on the menu and feel at home in the environment. This little spot is beautiful to visit, and it opens a bit earlier than most places in Portland, so you don’t have to wait until 11 a.m."
