The Seashore Trolley Museum has 250 trolleys and offers a 3.5-mile ride through woods and fields on a restored trolley. Kids can also tour Russell Acres, a working farm, take a wagon ride at Rockin Horse Stables or enjoy a tour of Tom's of Maine, where natural healthcare products such as toothpaste are made.

They might enjoy a day at Funtown/Splashtown USA, step back in time at the Strawbery Banke Museum or classes at the Kennebunk Beach Improvement Association, the Heartwood Collage of Art and River Tree Arts.

There are children's productions at our local theaters, and events sponsored by River Tree Arts.

More active pursuits include tumbling at Kennebunk Gymnastics, a riding lesson at Bush Brook Stables, or a canoe or kayak ride down the Kennebunk River.

The whole family will enjoy a number boat excursions or a day at Mother's Beach running in the shallows, building sand castles or just relaxing.

During July, enjoy the Annual Picnic and Concert on the Green. On the 4th of July, at dusk, thrill to fireworks shot off at Kennebunk Beach.

Kennebunk's Annual Teddy Bear Show is in August. The show features exhibitors from as far away as California and appeals to the child in all of us.

If you are here during the winter, take a ringside seat and root for the Portland Pirates Hockey Team. If it's baseball season, catch the Portland Sea Dogs in action, one of the most talked about AA baseball teams.
