Bar Harbor Oct 9…what should we do?

[Heatherco]

Hi there!  We will be in BH on Columbus Day on Liberty of the Seas.  Last year we stayed in the area and did Cadillac Mountain and Acadia.  We would love to go back, but think it might be easier this time to just stay in town or do something else because I am sure it will be jammed because it is a holiday weekend.  
 

I know of Ollie Tours, but not sure we want to do that and most excursions are sold out.  Any other suggestions?

 

Is there something to see in town we may not know about?  Would renting an EBike or Gem car be worth it?

 

Thanks for any suggestions!

We'll also be there. No plans other than to enjoy the town as we've also done excursions there on our past port stops. Not really concerned about it being "jammed" on this particular day.

Lobster Rolls and blueberry pie or ice cream. Many stores will be closing down for the season at that time so you'll probably see many sales. I'm on that sailing too.

The Abbe Native American Museum right in downtown Bar Harbor is a Smithsonian affiliate and is open from May-November.                                                                                                           https://www.abbemuseum.org/
