rangers were helpful, watch the 8 min video, we bought audio cd to tour on our own and it was interesting, well done

Very clean restrooms. One free map per family. Ample parking (we were there in the off-season). Lots of nice Acadia related gifts.

Made our first stop to Acadia National Park at the Hulls Cove Visitor Center. Good information on where to go and what and how to see it. Glad we stopped there first--the park is huge and the trip to Cadillac Mountain is a must.

I loved the winding stairs up to the entrance. It got me excited about what I was going to see in the park. The people who worked there were very nice and friendly.

The visitor center has a video that is about 15 minutes long that previews what to expect on your visit. They also have a three dimensional map of Mount Desert Island that is impressive. They have a gift shop and there are several rangers on duty to answer any questions.

We began our journey with this very first stop. We saw the 15 minute beautiful film, looked at the wonderful model of the park, reviewed our map, used rest room and started the most beautiful sights and sounds ever, Park Loop Road!

Picked up Acadia National Park Maps Spoke with a park ranger about things to do. Paid for my entrance fee here to save time in the park

The Park Rangers were knowledgeable regarding hiking trails and we were able to buy a hiking map. If your looking to buy food there isn't any at the visitor center.

There was a long walk to the visitor center and was not a good gift shop. The Acadia gift shops in Bar Harbor had more merchandise. Had lots of park info, but a map is all we needed.
