I would never have found this shop if it wasn't for the reviews here. It's located off the main…read moredrag so you might miss it if you aren't looking. This is run by a couple, who according to the owner Patrick (who was manning the store when we were there) they aren't artists themselves, but they seek out artists from all over. There is a wide selection of art from sun catchers made of wrapped colored stones, and paintings on wood to vegan leather purses and wood turned pens. We stopped here and purchased a painting my partner wanted and then returned to pick up my purse before returning to the shuttle bus. I just couldn't leave without buying it. I'm sure if we had more time, we would have spent more. Bar Harbor has lots of tourist stuff. If you are looking for that special item to take home, check this place out.

The store features unique decor, jewelry, accessories and home items. I spent the most time looking at colorful local artwork, sniffing a variety of perfumes and eyeing up some lovely leather goods. While I didn't buy anything I certainly appreciated the friendly staff and the variety of whimsical an quality items for sale.

There were 3 people behind the counter , an adult male, teenage girl and an older woman. The man began to make comments about men with really long hair and women with really short hair cuts. He was talking about myself and a young man with us. And it was rude.commented it wasn't his lucky day. I bought my souvenirs elsewhere.

There was a huge variety of items, from local food, soaps, candles, hats, shirts, toys, housewares, and other wonderful things to remind you of your time in beautiful Bar Harbor. I also found the prices to be pretty on par with the rest of the area. I am enjoying my treasures now that I have returned home. I also appreciate the reusable bags they gave out. I've added those to my stash to grab instead of plastic. Thank you, Acadia Country Store, for a wonderful experience!

What a treat you will find in this store! They sell a host of artist made finery. There were so…read moremany different items we were told to make 2 passes around the store and to look up to see all the merchandise! There were pillows and plates, socks, and sacks, great selection of jewelry, scarves, books and baby gifts. The merchandise was vast and varied, all a delight for the eye. If you are at Acadia National Park, I think you owe it to yourself to stop in Southwest Harbor to visit the Tom Cat Tide shop, you'll surely find it is well worth the trip.

Ok not much to say...I tend to say that a lot about a place and then write a ton. Ill try to limit…read moreit here lol Along Main Street in Bar Harbor, one of the most amazing towns I have ever visited...lies many, many, MANY! tourist shops. All stocked with tons and tons and TONS of Maine related items, because why would there be anything else, right? Well!!! Acadia Park Company is just ANOTHER one of those stores! I will say this...even tho there are tons of t-shirt shops, that also sell...magnets, mugs, hoodies, I mean..you name it! Acadia Park will for sure stand out to you as one of the nicer ones. 1) its very large and has tons of room to move around. Many on "the strip" are small and cramped. Not this one. 2) its very nice inside. Very clean, nice floors. 3) every product is laid out beautifully. Whoever designed the layout...props to you. You sure did put thought into it and have made a tourists shopping experience in a very busy little town VERY! busy...so much better. 4) you will for sure find something you love here. They have the most amazing hoodies. Hoodies other stores did not have. Did I buy one tho? 4) No, I did not :( :( and I regret it to this day....I was just there like 3 weeks ago lol. Why didn't I buy one? pricey! Thinking back tho, I should have gotten one because my whole life I have always wanted to go Maine. Finally made it there. Tried on 2 or 3 hoodies and absolutely should have treated myself. I got a t-shirt there tho lol 5) Staff is amazing! They literally see thousands of people a day, from all over the country, the world and somehow...remain pleasant and helpful. That takes talent and takes talent in the management to hire quality people. Wish I could work there. No joke. Id move to Maine in an a crazy ass heartbeat. Wonderful store to visit. Tons to choose from. If you happen to see this and go this store, you won't be disappointed. It really is a nice store in every way possible. I look forward to the day I make it back to Maine and to Bar Harbor. Thanks for reading, YelperMainers!!! sidebar, I visited many of these shops. I will try to write my reviews for all of them. Cheers!

The Acadia Corporation owns and runs eight different individual stores in the Bar Harbor area that collectively are referred to as "Acadia Shops." This specific review is for Acadia Park Company - a souvenir store that boasts "2% for the park." My understanding is that 2% of revenues go to Friends of Acadia (FOA). Anyway, as far as souvenir shops goes, this wine was pretty thorough offering t-shirts, jackets, hats, magnets, postcards etc. depicting images from Acadia National Park.

There is a large selection of knives, which could be a cool gift if you have a person in your life who hunts or just likes knives. There are a number of jewelry offerings and a number of other apparel and gift items. It is a bit of a hodge podge and I agree with Christina that this store has a bit of a confused identity. That said, I totally found stuff to buy and enjoyed the unique offering in a town full of stores that all sell largely the same stuff.

They stock a variety of leather coats and jackets, other cold weather gear, binoculars, Swiss army knives, hunting knives and the like.

Also, insider tip: If you show up in the fall, the store normally offers 50% off all items in stock!
