Things to do in Bangor, Maine (ME): The Best Shopping
The city of Bangor is perhaps most well known as the setting for many of Stephen King's stories, a reputation that has led to the nickname Transylmainia. There is more to Bangor than just tales of horror, however. There is a thriving arts scene, with museums, galleries, theaters, a symphony orchestra and a popular sidewalk art festival every summer. The area around Bangor includes the coastal Acadia National Park and the wooded Baxter State Park, providing plenty of outdoor adventure.

A "must see" bookstore for any Steven King fan. Loads of first edition books, Tee shirts, hoodies, memorabilia, signed books, posters -- and the proprietor is knowledgable and helpful. We had a blast in this book store and wound up buying much more than we thought we would. Even the quality of the tee shirts is great! You have to see this place for yourself to truly appreciate it. Hard to find because there's not much of a sign outside. Like a hidden treasure.

This location of Bangors Farmers market is hands down the best one ever. They have way more vendors and farmers selling their fresh products and produce. I love how family friendly everyone is as I took my kids with me. There were lots of fresh in season products and everyone was very helpful. I highly recommend this location to everyone. I wanted to point out how nice and clean and organized everything was.

Always a new experience with varied things to look at from stationery, journals, and cards, to jewelry rendered in different stones. Although the name is Rock and Art the shop includes lotions and potions and an array of plants. The air plants are always a marvel and at Christmas tree decorations, are available. A miniature terrarium. I have kept them in the pots of other plants. The shop includes linens, kitchen items, and always has a gallery of local artists updated.
5. Dorr Lobster Seafood Market
Overall Ratings
4.5 based on 12 reviews
Reviewed By SeaAir - West Enfield, United States
We used to stop at Dorr's outside of Ellsworth to pick up lobster to take home when we were coming back from Acadia hikes, so were thrilled to discover Dorr Lobster had come to Bangor. Our go-to place for a lobster fix. We always used to boil at home until one day when we had too much company for our lobster pot. Dorr Lobster steams lobster to order and the result is great. Can't recommend too highly. I have to respond to the poor review from a lost flatlander who thought this was a restaurant and gave it a bad review based on his ignorance. GREAT spot for lobster. Don't expect a full service restaurant!
