Loved this museum. It was amazing to see all the parts of history. Thank you so much for all the time and collections you have put together for our enjoyment!!

This place is amazing has actual big rig trucks an old train that u can walk all through among many other amazing things. Price to enter isn’t bad either. Kids under a certain age get in for free.

Small and mighty! Spent an hour and half looking at so much history that is mainly acquired and restored from local sources! Bonus scavenger hunts for all ages if you're into that. Well displayed and maintained.

This is an awsome little museum, with lots of stuff packed into the building. We stopped in while exploring the area and were pleasantly surprised. The staff was very friendly and eager to answer questions. The layout is great and easy to wonder around in

Excellent exhibit. Our guide Jim was a added bonus. Great job glad we stopped

This was an impromptu stop rather early in the morning, so I didn't visit the museum, but just getting to visit the outside things was worth the detour.

Amazing! I went for an event for my grandchildren and truly enjoyed every minute. It is so fascinating and I am not interested in vehicles at all. Just not my thing. The children had so much fun with the event and the scavenger hunt throughout the museum. They looked at everything there trying to find the pieces on the scavenger hunt pictures. The museum is AMAZING and I can't wait to go back.

It was a wonderful experience! Although we discovered that our son was just a bit too short for some of the play areas, we made the most of it, and he had an amazing time. I highly recommend visiting during the fall or winter when the weather is cooler. WE will definitely go again when he a little bigger

It was our first time here and we will definitely be back the next time we are up to visit family! We spent three hours here with our little one. Your admission is good for the entire day, until close, so you can leave and come back.

This is a wonderful place. We only allotted ourselves about an hour and a 1/2, which honestly as many floors and exhibits as they have children can't really dive deep into play. So I would recommend packing a good lunch and some snacks and preparing yourselves to be there for a few hours.So they can really explore their imaginative play.

What a fun surprise it was to stumble upon this place with an almost 4 year old. I wasn't sure what to expect but the exhibits were so fun and well thought out - my daughter did NOT want to leave. Great job to the staff that maintains and runs everything - there is something for every kid.

We love the children's museum. It has enough variety to keep children from various ages very happy! Everything is clean and tidy, and the staff is exceptional. It is a friendly, caring, and informative place to be.

Great place to take the grandkids. Enjoyed watching a very interesting discussion and showing of a snake a lizard like creature and a turtle. The kids got to touch each creature. There were three floors of hands on experiences. The center is not as big inside as it looks like from the outside. It was not real crowded which made it fun

My daughter went as part of a birthday party group. She had a lot of fun and was exhausted by the time we got home. Win win!

Beautiful cemetery. Well keep. Nice place to drive through and stop for a little tour.

This is a must see destination for any fan of Stephen King! The cemetery is well maintained, large and very beautiful. The groundskeepers were friendly and not at all phased by a couple of movie/literature nerds roaming the grounds! Just make sure you are being respectful! The hunt for the famous markers that lead to inspiration for the novels “Carrie” and “It” were fun to explore the grounds for! Seeking spots where parts of Pet Sematary were filmed was even more fun! We paid our due respects to the residents and left with some neat photos. Highly recommend this stop for fans! Please, please, just be mindful and respectful.

An insane amount of history here. If you love walking around cemeteries, just know that this one is huge. I was there a couple hours on a hot day and only scratched the surface before my water was gone. It is clearly cared for, albeit dry like the rest of the area. I stayed in what I believe are the oldest sections. Some of the headstones are like works of art. So many stories here dating back well over 100 years.

We searched for a lovely, scenic, quiet and historic special spot for our child to rest in peace. We discovered Mt Hope. We decided upon the Scattering Garden Memorial area. Emily and Steve, superintendents, made us welcome in the lodge with an appointment. We were able to pick a garden spot, were assisted with placing our cremains and the Bronze plaque on Memorial Wall is well done. The option was perfect for our family; dignified special, lovely and affordable. Thank you Mt Hope, Emily and Steve. Mt Hope, a historic American garden cemetary is also a peaceful spot to walk or jog on a summer evening with many paths and hills.

Really a beautiful cemetery in its own right - the older section has beautiful monuments and hills and stairs - definitely much more interesting than your average cemetery. If you're a Stephen King fan, you can see where he took some of his names from grave stones, and even places where they shot some of the adaptations that King was in. It's confusing to drive around, but just keep going and you'll find interesting stuff. It'd be a great place to walk if you live here. (Make sure to book sktours for an explanation of the King tie-ins.)

I am not one to venture to cemeteries for fun, but this one was an exception and I am glad I went. This is a very beautiful cemetery and on a pleasant fall day it was very relaxing in the middle of the pandemic. There are some fascinating headstones combined with the tie to the King novel, it just all came together.

The gates that I went to were closed on weekends. This is the gates next to the Koren War memoral and civel war memoral.. this cemetery is the second oldest in the United States after the one in Boston, Ma that it was patterned after. It's called that because of the landscaping with ponds, shrubs and spacing of the graves.

Such a nice and beautiful place to ride bikes and go for a walk amongst the Wild in maine.

The bog walk was an easy trek with lots to look at along the way. It was shaded on the way in and out, with a sunny section in the middle of the loop. There were a couple of benches throughout where you could take a break and nature watch. Parking was full, but there was an overflow lot.

I was super impressed with this park. I wish I lived near a park like this! What a gem for the city of Bangor! Lots of well marked trails. Not a lot of elevation if you are looking for a hill workout but great, shaded trails for walking or running. The Bog walk boardwalk is also super nice, well maintained with lots of informational plaques about the environment and wildlife/birds who call the bog home.

Wonderful big park for easy hiking, trail running, or biking. Tall trees provide lots of shade. Paths are clearly marked with maps posted at intersections. There are primary and secondary trails, so lots of options for exploring. Trails are dog friendly; I had my pup with me, and we saw many others walking their dogs too. Heavily visited park but didn't feel crowded; getting there early is best if you want a quiet secluded walk. My only complaint is that the parking lot I parked in was NOT labeled on the posted maps, so I had to use GPS to make it back to my car.

Close to Bangor with lots of trails for all. Great running, biking, and hiking.

A delightful find, near Bangor International Airport. A beautiful 😍 place for a walk while waiting for your flight, when it's too early to check in at the airport, but you've had to check out of your hotel or BNB. One last rendezvous with Maine's beautiful nature and a chance to stretch our leg before our long flight home. Kudos to my husband for finding it online. And yet another chance to learn a few things.

Lots of nice trails. Well maintained and not too crowded. Bring bug spray or wear long pants and long-sleeved shirts, because there are mosquitoes and biting flies in places. Still, a nice place to walk. Update - we have been here 4 times now and it's always a great experience. Over 600 acres of forest and almost 10 miles of trails. Our last visit was 10/08/22 and the fall colors were amazing and so were the crisp blue skies!

If you are doing a drive-by, you have the Entertainment so there's no traffic coming. It might be easier to park somewhere to take a picture. We got lucky as it wasn't real busy.

This was a lot larger than I imagined and I really liked it. The statue was in really good condition and the info boards surrounding it are well worth reading as the whole story about the man and the statue is interesting and fun. Well worth a visit if you're nearby and it is only a short walk from the waterfront so the two combined can use up a few hours.

Very nice detail on the statue and very informative information on the posts around the statue. The landscaping was a bit unkept, but overall a nice visit.

This is one of the iconic things to do in Bangor, and so we were happy to stop by. We weren’t exactly sure where to park because it is located near a busy street, but once we did, we enjoyed taking pictures of Paul and reading the plaques about the statue.

Paul Bunyan in all his glory with all his tales.. Very cool status with great accompanying stories.

It’s real big and you learn some interesting facts/lore from plaques at the site.

Who doesn't love a cool Paul Bunyan statue?

Bagel Central is such a chill and friendly place! When you walk in, you’re greeted by a counter where you place your order, surrounded by tempting sweets that make you want to try them all. It has that cozy, mom-and-pop feel, and the food tastes homemade—absolutely delicious!

Large and lively space consistently bustling with people working on computers, people grabbing take out, and people dining in. I was surprised to find not only bagels, but sides like potato salad, pasta salad, and coleslaw, as well as a large variety of pastries. I got a bagelwich on a sunflower bagel, and then went back and got an herb bagel with olive cream cheese. The bagels are soft and fresh. The olive cream cheese was fantastic, lots of pieces of olives. I think I will bring my laptop sometime and work from there because the vibe is so good. I did bring home some sweets. I ate a berry tart which was deliciously lemony and just the right size for two good sized bites. So many goodies to choose from!

Stumbled into a bagel central today. I grabbed a classic bagel slathered with garlic-herb cream cheese and—wow—this isn’t your heavy, chewy usual. The bagel has a light crackle on the crust, a soft, steamy center, and the cream cheese is whipped, herby, and garlicky without being sharp. Every bite hits savory, fresh —clean finish. I honestly wish we had this exact style back in Texas. Order: Plain (or sesame) with garlic-herb schmear Why it’s special: Crisp shell + airy chew; whipped spread with real herb lift Worth a detour? Absolutely. This is the kind of simple that ruins other bagels for you. Rating: 4.8/5 Pro tip: Ask for it warm and go heavy on the schmear—you’ll get that perfect crust-to-cloud ratio.

Flavor: A Service: A Tea: A Solo dining: A I’m not a bagel lover but I had to get one of if I was at ‘Bagel Central.’ I was not disappointed. The blueberry bagel, cream cheese, oatmeal pancake (what a unique creation), and the hash browns (who doesn’t love a mixture of gold and sweet potatoes?) were all very well done. And then to offer cranberry-apple unsweet tea… it’s like they knew I was coming. What a great brunchy place!

Stopped here for breakfast and it was SO GOOD! Someone told me that Bagel Central had good NY bagels. Why do people say things like that? I'm not sure that's true. NY bagels are their own thing. And so are Central bagels. Both are good but they are not the same. IMO Central bagels are the kind of bagels that you want all bagel sandwiches to be served on. We got there around 1 PM on a Saturday and there wasn't a line. But I understand that we were lucky I had a Paul Bunyan 😋 and not a word was spoken until I finished it. And we shared a slice of carrot cake also delish! I highly recommend Bagel Central.

So glad we stumbled upon this place! The staff was so sweet & gave great recommendations. Blueberry cheesecake was to die for!

We love their bakery-fresh bagels! Perfectly chewy on the outside, soft on the inside, exactly how a bagel should be. Every time I walk in, I promise myself I’ll just grab a couple, and every time I leave with a bag stuffed like I’m feeding a small army. Highly recommend… unless you’re on a carb free diet. In that case, just come for the smell, it’s so worth it.

Highly Recommend for RV-ers! First time, passing thru. We have a 36’ gas motorcoach with a toad. We saw only 2 lanes with gas (which also had diesel). Note: Most lanes go in one direction coming from the street. A young pleasant young man pumped for us, which was a very nice pleasure. We parked to have breakfast. (Did not dine in). Getting in and out to I-95 was very easy. Note in pics that this seemed to have a lot of amenities for diesel trucks (Volvo, Kenworth, Ballad Truck Center (I don’t think they are associated with Dysarts); tires, etc)

Yep. Our party of 6 ate here today. Not much of a wait to get seated. The waitress seemed rushed…to get us in and out without decent customer service. One lady in our party asked what is on the turkey sandwich. Brittany W. stated sometimes mayo. The lady specifically stated she wanted nothing extra on it but ordered it anyway. Brittany showed up with a turkey sandwich with lettuce and tomato on it. It was sent back. It arrived again with leftover lettuce..as not all of it was picked off. The sandwich was sent back yet again. It was sent back, again, with leftover salad on it. When the same sandwich came back to the table, a fresh made sandwich was requested. Brittany W displayed a terrible attitude. A different waitress was asked to get a fresh sandwich. Brittany turned red. Well, buttercup - listen to your customers’ dietary needs and requirements and you’ll only have to deliver a meal once - instead of multiple times.

Note they never reached out or went good for bad visit! Will not recommend and will not go back. Past review attached. Let me first start usually this is one of our favorite stops, however in our opion it was not good last night on June 13th around 8pm. We had to wait a little longer than told for our take out which wasn't to big of a deal. The biggest issue was our food was so cold, including the chicken, fries were Luke warm , onion rings were okay, the cranberry sauce was forgotten for the sandwich which once my husband went back in to get it and told them got only one got one tiny cup for two halfs.. the bread was very dried out and the stuffing had white spots in it and was very hard & cold. We thru our food out when we got home and we didn't eat, we had to cook for our 4 year old when we got home over an hour away, because she wouldn't even eat the fires or chicken, which says a lot. This was an early father's day meal for my husband which we couldn't even eat because of how bad it was. My husband called this morning on June 14th and let them know, she was a manager she said and she asked for our number to pass it on to upstairs. It's now 7pm almost on June 14th, no one has called us back or refunded us for food we couldn't even eat. We would like a refund. Out of all the years this is the first time we have ever had horrible service and complained, we aren't sure what happened last night but it was horrible, I'm sorry. Depending on how this is handled we may never be back and won't suggest the place to anyone. Highly disappointed and sorry

A must-stop for great food and convenience Dysart’s Truck Stop and Restaurant delivers every time. The home-cooked meals are delicious, and the courteous staff make you feel right at home. Their travel store is impressively stocked with essentials for truckers and travelers alike. With easy access to the interstate and a massive fuel island, it’s one of the most convenient and welcoming stops in the area. Highly recommended whether you’re passing through or staying local.

My French toast McRuth with ham and egg and American cheese was really good, as was the side of sausage gravy.

Addi was a great server and I really enjoyed my Mac n cheese, the atmosphere is nice, calm, and quiet, very easy to have a conversation. I'd love to come here again.

This is one of the "you have to stop here " truck stops. Plenty of truck parking. Excellent restaurant with great waitresses. Kinda separated trucker area.... what i personally like..... Very affordable clean showers even without fueling. Trucker store. A baby chrome shop. Always some odds and ends with cool stuff. Attendees that will fuel your truck and clean the windows. No matter what time I came here....I never had to leave without a parking spot .

The little timber salad was great. Fresh and very tasty. Everything our group had was very good. Only issue was the pork I had was a bit dry. But otherwise it rock. The mashed potatoes were great. Better than great actually.

We had an amazing dinner here and truly enjoyed every part of the experience. The atmosphere was absolutely impeccable; warm lighting, tasteful decor, and a relaxed vibe that made it perfect for a night out. The service was friendly and attentive throughout, and the staff made us feel genuinely welcome. The only downside was the wait, we ended up waiting over 30 minutes for our food, which was a bit of a bummer. That said, once the food arrived, it completely won us over. Every dish was cooked to perfection, beautifully presented, and bursting with flavor. You could tell a lot of care and attention went into the preparation. Despite the delay, the food and overall ambiance more than made up for it. We’ll definitely be back and maybe just come with a little extra patience next time. Highly recommend!

We loved this place! We were seated on the patio with our pup who got a bowl of water at the same time we got our waters. The lights were pretty along with the fireplace. They have massive heaters and the blankets were such a nice touch as well. The food was amazing! I had scallops and they were cooked perfectly. The bf had the timber burger with fries which were also amazing. We love the whole experience. It was a perfect way to cap off a great day and will absolutely make this a stop when we make it back to Maine. (The pup doesn't look happy, but it's just his face. The wagging tail said otherwise.)

It was amazing food the most perfect dinner for our trip up to Bangor, I was nervous when I saw it was apart of the hotel but it did not disappoint. With a gluten allergy find good and safe food can be difficult and this place should set the standard. A whole menu separated with gluten free options for every dish and appetizer. I could have eaten the whole menu. The buffalo dip, to the steak dinner, to the perfect trio of crème brûlée. This was one of the best meals of my life. Alivia was great with impeccable service. Atmosphere was great but we were at a table against a window of a private room and had awkward moments of eye ci tact and points through. But overall was a fantastic place I would 100% travel back to Bangor just to visit here again

The seafood chowder was hearty and filling, the fish and chips were average. The waitstaff was very friendly and attentive. The atmosphere was okay, but very loud. My party of 4 was seated at tables meant for 2 or 3 people, no room on the table. And the quarters were so tight we were being bumped by waitstaff or other guest. Suggest you wait for the right tables to accommodate your party.

This is one of the few later dining options in Bangor, and it is now at the top of my list. My meal here was very good and not too expensive for the quality of the food. The atmosphere is upscale with a natural "woody" theme that's relaxing and tasteful. There are plenty of seats as well as outdoor seating. My server, Haley, was helpful and attentive. She recommended the chowder and it turned out to be excellent - creamy with rich seafood flavor. There was plenty of clam, but I did feel the other ingredients like fish and shrimp were lacking. The crispy haddock sandwich was a work of art. The haddock was delicately crispy, juicy and flavorful. The toasted brioche bun added to the crunch and the sharp cheddar cheese added a wonderful punch of flavor. Unfortunately, my sweet potato fries were cold and stiff on arrival. I pointed it out to my waitress and she got right on it, bringing me fresh fries on the double. I had the blueberry pie dessert and it was good - not amazing, but then I knew blueberries weren't in season. The French vanilla custard it came with was legit. I was shocked to find the restaurant is located in a Marriott hotel. Every time I've stayed at a Marriott in recent memory it's been horrible. Color me surprised 😅 You can park anywhere in the hotel parking lot according to the front desk. It was not easy for me to find a spot.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ I was craving beer-battered fish and chips, and Timber’s did not disappoint! The fish was perfectly crispy and flavorful. My husband had the bacon cheeseburger, which he loved. The fries were excellent and paired perfectly with both meals. Great food and friendly atmosphere!

I came here because this restaurant has good review and my friend recommended it. It turned out WORST experience ever. The food came after 1 hour 10 minutes - we ordered wings and salad. 9 out of 10 wings got burnt and tasted bitter. We did not complain to get new wings because we did not want to wait for another hour. My friend ordered burger and fries but he got chips over fries. And the waitress said “yeah you saved 2 bucks”. So disappointed I rarely gave 1 star review but this restaurant made me did

Best hamburger in Bangor and super friendly bartenders! We stopped by on an afternoon of walking around Bangor for some lunch and a beer. We left feeling full and completely delighted! The meatballs in the Flight of Meatballs were tender, juicy, and savory. Each of the three sauces were delicious in their own ways but the sweet chili was absolutely fantastic! They had a great selection of beers from the New England area.

I loved this place. It had such a nice atmosphere and genuinely friendly staff. The fact is, of all the places I have visited, I found the people of Bangor to be some of the nicest and warmest people I've met. Always ready with a smile and a hello and happy to chat. The food was excellent and there was an amazing amount of beers to choose from. There was live music when I was there and that was also pretty amazing, the guy singing and playing a guitar put a really good new spin on some classics and, important to me, wasn't too loud. I liked that dogs were allowed and even though it was just a place to eat and drink, it has provided me with a very nice memory.

Worst experience. We have been traveling for a year around the world and this is the worst food. We ordered 10 wings and have to wait 1 hour to get the food. 10 wings came with 9 of them burnt so bad I will show you the pics here in the post. I don’t taste anything other than the burnt. I don’t understand how the kitchen let this kind of food out to customer, even dog won’t eat this.

This was my third time coming to this restaurant, previously enjoying it but this third experience was absolutely awful. First, our waiter Morgan M. was very rude and short with us not even greeting us upon ordering. Starting the interaction with “drinks” And questioning my boyfriend’s out of state ID (although somewhat reasonable, he is freshly 21) but after showing his university ID to confirm his name she was bold enough to comment about his haircut in a very rude manner, which is not much different from his current haircut. This was the only interaction we had with Morgan because she had disappeared for about 40 minutes before another waitress had come over to take over for her. On that topic we had waited for our food for a little over an hour and had waiting for our appetizer major of the hour. We had been at this restaurant for almost two hours and had ordered two appetizers and one meal. I’m disappointed in the service I had received and I hope they can do better in the future.

One of the strangest trivia scenes I've encountered, but the food is top notch and service is friendly without being pushy. And more restaurants should offer tots. TOTS FOR ALL!

A solid option in downtown. It was Burger Night on Thursday and it was a great deal for a way above average burger. A great draft beer selection too. It was noisy in the bar area.

I picked this restaurants because they had gluten free options and I love burgers. It was a beautiful day so we sat outside. Our waitress was super nice and made sure that my food was gluten free. My husband had a philly chees sandwich and I had a burger with bacon, egg and mozzarella. The gluten free bun was soft and delicious. The burger was tasty melted in my mouth like butter. Husband loved his food as well. We ordered lemonade as well, they were made with real fruit juice, the mango one was yummy. Unfortunately they don't have gluten free desserts but my husband loved his peanut butter pie. Looking forward to visit them again.

I feel bad giving this beautiful restaurant a 4/5. The ambiance was 10/10, drinks 10/10. I ordered a Painkiller, it was done to perfection. I also ordered crab cakes, OMG they were out of this world. The only two things that I didn’t like was the wait for drinks and food. My daughter beef tacos, they were so dry even after dipping them in the sauce that came with em. My friend ordered BBQ pizza, she gave it 10/10. Otherwise our waitress was great!

This place has great food & service too! The lemonade is homemade and you can get strawberry or blueberry lemonade, delicious! The poutine (not pictured) is amazing, we dug in too quickly and no photo was taken.

Just give freaking stars all around. Awesome wings, the best dirty martini EVER, and Nolan was legit amazeballs. Wish we lived closer - we'd be back every week.

We came in around noon time on a pretty quiet Wednesday, the service and wait staff were phenomenal. My complaints come from the food, I am a little disheartened by the pricing once the quality is factored in. Among three of us we ordered some pork tacos, a standard cheese burger and a Nashville hot chicken sandwich. To begin, the fries were good, they were hot and well seasoned, not too crispy but I don't mind my fries being on the softer side. Firstly, the pork tacos left a lot to be desired, with so many other places in the Bangor area serving tacos I see no reason to come here. The pork itself appeared tough and upon having a piece myself, wholefully unseasoned. The tortillas were a bit on the soggy side as well, tending to be a bit mushy. The presentation was great, the portion size was great, visually it looked appealing but it lacked any substance. Secondly, the cheese burger, for starters I have to say, there was a hair visible on the patty once the bun was removed. We picked it out and soldiered on but not a great start. Listen, I get it, hair falls out, it happens. We do not hold this against the restaurant as much as others would but when adding in the other problems we had this only serves to detract from the experience. Regardless, the buns were literally charcoal, black as night on the underside. This really confuses me as toasting a bun is as basic as it gets. Fortunately the burger itself seemed to be fine, well portioned and well seasoned but the buns leave a nasty, bitter taste and residue if they are overdone to this extent. Thirdly comes the Nashville fried chicken with hot honey, with the expectation of a hot chicken sandwich having hot honey being on the spicier side I carefully ordered this sandwich. Let me say, the chicken itself was well cooked. The batter was very thick and in spots overwhelmed the chicken, my first bite was in a spot where so much batter had accumulated it was still undercooked. The batter was raw. While I appreciate a large chicken sandwich if there is so much batter it isn't being fully cooked I think the size should be reduced slightly. It also wasn't spicy, like at all, not a single ounce of spice, I have had cereal which has left my mouth spicier than this sandwich. I'm not too picky with my food but for the price I expect a bit more quality control. Among the three different dishes we all had at least one thing that could have been much better. Overall I don't mind the place if simply for atmosphere alone but the food and pricing leaves a bit to be desired.

HIGHLY RECOMMEND Blaze…Our waitress Jana was fantastic! Super sweet, polite and helpful. We had a party of 8 with kids and the food was all EXCELLENT! We had pizza, burgers, fish & chips, roasted chicken, fries, Mac n cheese, Brussel sprouts - it was all great and we are all major foodies!

Had a lovely time and great oysters. The bartenders were very friendly and happy to recommend other bars in the area to check out.
