Top 10 things to do and attractions in Bath

This place was very neat! We stopped here on out way up the coast of Maine. They offer many different boat tours of the river too. We did the lighthouse sites one and were able to see 6 lighthouses on a 2 hour tour. It was beautiful. While out on the water we got to see some bald eagles, a bald eagle nest, some seals and or course many other forms or wild life. It was well worth the cost, and it really wasn't even exspensive! It also got us free entrance into the museum too. When we return to ME, we plan to stop here again!

Very nice with knowledgeable guides. We bought the full package; museum tour, trolley ride and boat ride. Facilities are nice, staff friendly and seeing the warships was great. The tour of Bath and the town's ship building history was okay. The river tour was not special but the guide had entertaining stories. I went to see the ships which are an impressive feat of manufacturing. These are war machines. Five ships in process in Oct 2025. Cool. So why not five stars? Can't get into the facility, can't get close to the ships. Yes, I understand it's a real factory. Safety, efficiency and secrecy are the priorities. Got it. The view from the river was good, and the narration was strong. I recommend it. But it won't get five stars until you get inside.

We are museum lovers and had a great time visiting this museum. It was very kid friendly, surprisingly so for a museum not explicitly created for kids. It was also super interesting and felt worth the entry price. If we are ever back in Maine we will have to check it out again!

Such a cool museum. The campus is expansive and covers info on ship building. I really liked the buildings to the west with the blacksmith and boat builders working. The Wyoming monument is also incredible!

Excellent. I recommend anyone who has any sense of history visit this exhibition. Also the boat tour is really worth the money. Well run organization! Highly recommend

Great museum. Continuous and term displays are well done, interesting, easy to consume. Loved the "Up T' Camp" display. The Bath Iron Works video is OK. Just makes 5 stars.

This was a cool place to see. Unfortunately tbey close the outdoor displays at 4 and we got there too late to see them. The main building still had some good exhibits but make sure you get there well before 4 to see the whole thing. Going in the off season was nice as the tickets were very affordable.

This is a grand Art Center steeped in Nautical history. Its community support and entertainment is something to be admired. It was worth the trip to Bath.

What a great small venue for a live show. I saw The Ultimate Doors there. The sound was great. The venue was probably 1000 max. Lots of seating on the floor and balcony. Great views from everywhere.

This place is a GEM!!! We saw a show in the smaller annex space, so I can only comment on that room and not the larger venue. We drove up from Rhode Island because one of our favorite musicians was playing a show here, and we had no idea what to expect. What we found was an intimate lower level room with about 50 seats. I was thrilled about this since we got to be up close and personal with some amazing artists! The vibe could not have been sweeter. The director introduced the show with coffee mug in hand. The snack bar served cookies and fresh popcorn. The very young theatre kids hung out throughout the show and helped sell waters and sodas. The acoustics of the room were AMAZING and the director opened up the doors so that we could enjoy the sea breeze. I've seen both artists multiple times, and they've never sounded better. The space is absolutely soaked in love and you can feel it. I couldn't stop smiling. Director Matt and his crew have something really really special going on here. Check them out, support them, get on their list. Maine is so lucky to have this beautiful place.

This place is amazing. Beautiful architecture, but it's what their contributing to the community that is so impressive. An art center that is globally connected for children and adults. They use the arts to bring the community together and to get children involved and engaged. It was so heart warming to be welcomed in and given a tour as 'unknowns'. The spirit of openess artistic endeavors with Loving goals needs to be seen, shared and supported. Awe inspiring.

I just saw the Ultimate doors there, and it was a great experience. And the staff were very nice.

Safe space for all! The director is the best host I've ever met! Thank you !!!

Went to see Julia gagnon it was an awesome show sound was good nice old church to see a show.

I have only been out to the island once but I always like to look at it from the beach. My great great great grandfather Edwin M. Wyman was the assistant lighthouse keeper from 1886-1889!

House is open to go throw. I found after research that the first helper to the lighthouse keeper was a Pushard from Dresden Maine. One of my Ancestors

Had been there many years ago. Was one of the eatly Friends of Sequin. It is nice to see the lighthouse is still as magistic.

Despite the Google Maps photo, the actual lighthouse is located 25~ miles south and must be accessed by ferry.

I got laid on sequin

Great place to visit

scary

Cool place to visit. They were closed when we were driving through the area, so we just took some photos of the ship. It was nice to see history. I would suggest not driving in the area if you are towing a camper/trailer. There is nowhere to park and it is hard to get back out to the main road.

Love this! Such an under-appreciated era of Maine and US history. Love the living-history of a working historical ship, built in the same manner as in 1600. Fun and knowledgeable volunteers, a very worthwhile stop. Great video lectures on their website too!

I have never bbeen on the first ship,I do however walk down to see it evert morning. It's so pretty sitting down by the bridge.

Zane loves to stop in and see what is going on. Today was some varnishing pieces of Virginia and we learned how the cylinder shape is formed/made. Always a friendly and comfortable atmosphere. The views on the back deck are fantastic too.

Very cool seeing the ship and learning about those who built it as well as the history of ship building.

Unexpected surprise stop on the way up the coastal highway. Very knowledgeable volunteers, lots of history, and amazing to see the rebuild of the boat in progress! And they had a restroom which many boondoggle stops don’t have. We parked by the Elks Lodge for a fun photo op.

Awesome historians on-site reliving history and making wooden boats. Walk on the deck of The Virginia, a replica of perfection. Great day!!

About an acre of manicured grass with a pen and water fountain for dogs. Right on the water next to BIW. Its a beautiful place and the dog owners were all very respectable of their animals and cleaned up after them. Bath is lucky to have this little slice of heaven ❤️🐕 And how awesome they have a huge nest of big birds on top of the light pole

It's a lucky dog that gets to go to this outstanding outdoor park! It features a wide dock into the Kennebec River with lots of benches to sit on, a dirt trail all the way around for strolling, many benches to relax on, and plenty of water. There are also poop bags and disposal cans for your convenience. Plenty of parking, porta-johns and even an Osprey nest! The wide open area offers plenty of space for ball and Frisbee chasing, running, playing and, in general, just be a dog. The only thing missing here is shade, so be sure to bring a hat and sunglasses. If you bring treats in your pocket, be prepared to be jumped on! Enjoy!!

HUGE grassed park. Right on the water, with a dock/deck on one side and water access on the other. People and dogs were super friendly and welcoming. Water bubbler located near the front of the park. Trash and bags are on the fences.

Large dog park beautiful dock with bench overlooking the kennebec river and a view of Bath Iron works.

So beautiful and well maintained. Can't beat that view of the water and dock with views of the ships being worked on and the sculptures at the Maritime Museum. Is this the best dog park ever?!

Biggest dog park I have ever been to. Along a rocky shore...Plenty of room for the dogs to run around.

Best dog park in Maine. Huge field and borders the river so your dog can take a swim to cool off. Friendly people and their pets. All sizes welcome. Doggie poop bags, water fountain, benches, human bathroom and a great view all available. 💖

A great selection from every medium!

Love this store! Very unique and beautiful items. I love seeing the wide variety of artistic specialties displayed in this store. Feels like an art gallery experience while also being a great place to pick up a gift or a treat for yourself!

Cute clothing. A lot of high quality hand made stuff.

Markings Gallery is a first class craft and art gallery with an amazing array of talent!

This guy gave me dirty looks when I parked across the street from his shop. Starred me down. I wouldn’t go in this place.

Beautiful works of art, just a lovely experience

Gorgeous and unique crafts from Maine artists!

Beautiful spot along the Kennebec River watching the boat traffic. And the Virginia (a replica of the first English ocean-going ship built in the Americas) was impressive.

October of last year, I drove all the way from New York (with a stopover in Newport, RI) to see this place which they said is beautiful during Fall Foliage. And they were right! The place was stunning! I stayed there for an hour just gazing at this beautiful place.

Great little park with public docks, plenty of benches/chairs, shady and exposed areas, and nice restrooms. Very uplifted and well-maintained public space. People seem to come here to hang out or eat lunch, even when it's chilly! Definitely worth a stop-by if you are walking around town.

Wonderful Farmers market on a Saturday morning. Outstanding fresh vegetables from local farmers, an Italian lady who makes cakes and pasta, seafood stand, lots of breads and pastries, delicious local cheese (the ragged island is heavenly with local apples from the Apple orchard also at the market! Honey crisp apples).

I have many fond memories of bath, but this seems to be a focal point for many of them. Incredible view of the bridge. Nice little spot to eat aswell.

Beautiful waterfront park. So enjoyed the concerts and fireworks during Bath Heritage Days.

What a beautiful area in Bath, Maine. The park is very clean, plenty of free parking.

It's a great park to go and relax. A covered gazebo offers shelter from rain and sun and is a place where children love to run around. With grassy fields and a frog pond, it is a fun place to relax and spend some time outside.

A large, lovely library on a beautiful piece of land near the water. There is a large room dedicated to the kids. There are computers and printers that are free to use. The staff is very friendly and helpful too!

Cute and small downtown park outside of our local library! Famous for fountain.

I take my dogs here, they are both service animals and it's a wonderful experience for all

I included this in my review of the library, which is awesome. The bandstand is still in use. Some benches but a picnic on the lawn seems nice.

Nice place to spend some time reading a book you pick up at the library:)

Library park in Bath is nice. There are several events that take place here. It's in walking distance of the ocean.

Beautiful walk through the woods. I took the overlook trail to the narrows trails which has some great viewpoints of the Kennebec River.

Very beautiful trails! There are a ton of winding trails in and out of each other that made it a really fun adventure. One trail takes you to a beautiful overlook and then another takes you right along the waters edge. Lots of small bridges to cross mucky areas. I wish the water wasn't so rocky, I didn't want to bring the dogs down for fear they would get hurt. But it was wonderful just to see and smell the ocean!

This is a quiet place to see the beauty of Maine! Most of the times I have been here (late afternoon) I have been the only car in the parking lot. It is peaceful and has some really great benches for taking in the views. The trail markings are intuitive and color coded providing for a great experience even when hiking an unfamiliar trail. I'm planning to make this a regular stop everytime I'm in Bath!

A hidden gem at the north end of Bath. There are some paths or trails that have a little elevation, but mostly it's a beautiful walk in the woods. We will be going back to try a new trail next weekend 😊

We walked the Narrows trail, which followed the shoreline much of the way, and provided some beautiful views. The trail was very well maintained and marked, and pretty flat. We’ll definitely be back to see some of the other trails soon.

The trails were well marked and clean. The views were gorgeous. It is dog friendly. My 3yo and 4yo did all but the last 2/10 of a mile- so it is not extremely difficult.

Great trails with beautiful views. Lots of wildlife, flora, and fauna. Got very adventurous and tried to proggesively mountain bike the trail. (Would not reccomend haha) But hiking is a must. Overall great experience every time.
