Do you know an underrated attraction that we don’t discuss enough? Visitor centers. Visitor centers provide unique information for guests about a place or attraction through various exhibits and other interpretive communications. You likely have walked right past a visitor center before and didn’t know the magic and knowledge it held. Acadia National Park boasts multiple visitor centers, but the Hulls Cove Visitor Center is a favorite among guests. Serving as the primary entry point to this spectacular park, this center, though modest in size, is a treasure trove of essential information and warm hospitality from its dedicated team of park rangers.
