Maine State Visitor Information Center - Kittery

Fantastic experience: So good to be back, feet on the ground in MAINE! 31 days out and back to Phoenix! So glad to live in Maine.

Negative experience: Zero brochures for anything related to Wabanaki community in this state.

Negative experience: After stopping to rest and realizing we left a phone on a some guy said maybe ring the doorbell that sometimes the night person is there. So did that a few times with no luck. And not sure the time but my brother got out to stretch after we decided to rest and wait said someone went in and out to a garage. So he went to ask about the phone and out comes a guy swearing no one aloud there no phone note on the desk that one of our friends in another car has it by now. So just want the him to know it was found by someone and mailing it to us. Don't be so judge.

Fantastic experience: Nice clean place to find brochures, stretch, and relieve oneself.

Fantastic experience: Clean, convenient rest stop with restroom facilities.

Fantastic experience: One of the cleanest state visitor centers I've ever seen! The employees were very helpful and passionate about different things to do in Maine. There's also very clean restrooms and lots of snack vending machines as well. Definitely worth your stop if you need a break from driving.

Fantastic experience: Clean bathrooms! A great place to stop when you're out !on the road

Fantastic experience: Employees are very friendly and keep everything very clean despite scumbag people trashing the toilets and the sinks. Thank you to all the employees

Fantastic experience: Customer service rep very friendly & helpful.

Negative experience: Rest rooms are fine. Nice to have dog friendly areas. The only refreshments offered are through vending machines, in a different building from the rest rooms. That would be okay, except every single offering is pure junk. No juice, no milk, no ordinary nuts, no dried fruit. I’m not asking for health food, just not junk! The only offering that isn’t junk is water, and there must be 20 or so different varieties of water. Really? Ugh!

Fantastic experience: Very pretty, a nice welcome home! Also, thank you very much for the free postcards!!

Fantastic experience: Good place to take a break from driving.

Fantastic experience: Clean place to stop and use the restroom or get info about the state. And they sell lottery tickets.

Fantastic experience: Had to bring relatives up this way, and it was 10ish pm, and the children needed a potty break. Bathrooms were extremely clean, and I was impressed. The store part was closed , and we didn't need anything, but overall, it was fantastic!

Negative experience: 0ct 16 2024 4:30 - 5:15 am Positively shameful. First, we stopped for a bathroom break - instead we got to witness a nasty, hate filled female cleaner (with a limp) harassing a senior citizen as she was entering the handicapped bathroom. She was telling the woman she was not handicapped because she could walk. The older woman absolutely should NOT have had to explain that she has a heart condition & can get dizzy when she goes to stand up. The cleaner continued to make nasty remarks as the woman ignored her & used the bathroom with the safety bars. Second, we were parked at the back entrance to the rest stop. As we were preparing to leave by the exit to Kittery south 95 - a red pickup truck came speeding in. It was driving (speeding) on the wrong side of the road with its blinding high beams on. If we had pulled out of our space 10 seconds earlier - we would have been in a full head on collision. We watched the red pickup truck fly past us at 4:58 am. To utter shock it flew into the private employee parking lot. The driver got out & tried to stare us down as he realized we had witnessed his "entrance". Before we left - we spoke to some other witnesses & were told these two people are well known for their behaviors. We listened to examples of other disturbing behaviors by these two. The thing about this is people do what they know they can get away with. So shame on Maine for tolerating them. Because what you tolerate - you teach. Today should the last day of work for both of these people.

Fantastic experience: We always stop here on our trips to Maine.

He spent tons of time with us helping to plan our trip and the best route for our RV to see the things we were interested in and sent us on our way with tons of information about the state and the places we wanted to visit. We were so impressed. Every state should have a welcoming committee like John! :)

There is a pretty big, well stocked and affordably priced friendly, efficiently staffed Supermarket with plenty of parking. We enjoyed the food at the Chinese restaurant, that only does take out now. I was happy to find a shared branching Credit Union at Downeast Credit Union! Very friendly, efficient tellers! Love it! Family Dollar helped us outfit a friends new low income, elderly housing condo at Leisure Court. There is a great hardware store, Dunkin Donuts, Aroma Joe's, more places to eat, a Race Track (cars), a laundromat, a small train station. I love 2 lane, quiet, little towns like Unity, where there are many well marked cross walks and you can slow down and greet friendly passerbys. I also like how flat, and walkable the town is!

Fantastic experience: Great visitors center. Nice and clean, and it had friendly people manning the visitors desk. A LOT of information available and real paper maps of the State available for free.

Negative experience: Don’t stop if you need a drink. I was in a hurry and didn’t really have time to stop, but I was really thirsty and decided to get something from a vending machine. BIG MISTAKE. The machines don’t take cash, so you need a credit card. The machine that had the Gatorade wouldn’t accept my card either by tap or by swipe. So I tried another machine, and it worked, so I punched the number for an Arizona Iced Tea. The little elevator went up and got the tea, but then went down and got a Snapple, which I did not order, nor would it fit in the already-occupied elevator. The Snapple crashed about the other drinks as the elevator dragged it around the machine. Ultimately the Snapple got knocked loose and knocked the Arizona Iced Tea out of the car, leaving them both on the floor of the machine and me with nothing to drink. But the machine did make sure to charge me for both drinks that I didn’t get. The attendant at the rest area said they couldn’t do anything about it, and I would have to call the posted phone number. I called it and got a recording. Just AVOID THE VENDING MACHINES and go on to a filling station and buy a drink from a human.

Fantastic experience: Large rest area. Considering the amount of visitors the bathrooms are pretty clean. They have a little shed with vending machines. The coffee vending machine was not working correctly but took my money anyway. They really should have a second coffee machine if they want to help sleepy drivers!

Fantastic experience: Love checking out visitors centers.

Fantastic experience: Nice welcome center! Clean bathrooms, cute displays for picture taking and they even had tastings of wild blueberries to take. We definitely felt welcomed to the State of Maine!

Positive experience: Solid rest stop, super pet-friendly with good bathrooms and they sell lotto tickets. You can use the back exit to reverse direction off 95 too.

Fantastic experience: I've driven by this visitor center a hundred times, but never stopped before. We were on our way to a family vacation in Maine and the kids really needed to use the bathroom. The bathrooms here are very clean and easy to find. There are also plenty of opportunities to take fun photos, and the staff was very helpful in providing us with information about things to do in the area. We ended up staying at the visitor center for about 30 minutes and picked up a bunch of information booklets. Overall, I would definitely recommend stopping at the Maine State Visitor Information Center in Kittery if you're looking for a place to use the bathroom, get some information, or take some photos.

Positive experience: Nice rest stop with clean restrooms and visitor center. I was able to find some nice free travel brochures and an area map. They have already come in handy.

Fantastic experience: Very friendly staff. Much more than a rest stop. Lots and lots of brochures on all aspects of Maine. If you’re visiting Maine you should check this place out.

Fantastic experience: This was a great visitors center. Lots of photo ops. Some history and things to do. Not to mention there are several geocaches here so there are things for everyone. We could have spent a decent amount of time here.
