Things To Do
Freeport Outlets
Tons and tons of outlet priced shopping, need we say more? Parking is abundant.
L.L. Bean
Check out the iconic flagship store- there's the huge "boot" outside to take photos with and something for everyone inside.
Frosty's Donuts
Best Donuts you may have ever had, period. Right near L.L. Bean, you'll probably end up grabbing a whole box to bring home (not that we've ever done that or anything.)
Ogunquit
A really pretty beach town with lots of little "local" shops, this will give you the feeling of Maine without the business of prime tourism season like it might in the summer. It is about 50 mins south of Freeport, so either make it a destination on your way up OR a destination on your way home if you're driving.
Maine Beer Company
Super Good brewery where they're making it on site- the food is limited to a beer pretzel, but with their craft beer choices, you're really not going there for the food. We highly recommend getting the sampler tray and staying a while
Baxter Brewing Co.
Pretty awesome brewery with even cooler glasses (they lean!); the tour is free and nicely short.
Broad Arrow Tavern
If you're looking for a nice dinner out this would be one of our top choices; it's in the Harraseeket Inn, so if you want to check out the place with out the big bill this is the way to do it! The food is excellent.
Linda Beans Restaurant
Linda Bean (relative of you guessed it, L.L. Bean) has opened up a great lunch/dinner spot directly across the street from L.L. Bean. It's hard to find great food in downtown Freeport (lots of tourist based stuff) and this restaurant is one we go back to year, after year. Make sure to get some of their molasses bread (brown bread)- you won't be dissapointed.
Wolfe's Neck Center for Agriculture & the Environment
A beautiful country drive yet minutes away from everything you'd possibly want, this local farm and estuary has beautiful trails and endless photo opportunities.
Acadia National Park
Bar Harbor is hours up north, but if you're looking to extend your stay by a day or two it's well worth the drive. The trails and views are extraordinary and the wildlife is secondary only to Alaska.
Stonewall Kitchens
A wonderful place to explore (and sample!) some of the best jams and jellies around!
Maine Diner
We go here almost everytime we're on our way up- it's about an hour away from Freeport- so go on your way up or on your way home. Classic diner food with Maine hospitality (it's also super well known). Highly recommend their clam chowder.
