At the LL Bean story in Freeport, ME you can take advantage of what they call a walk on adventure. $15 to kayak for about an hour on a beautiful harbor only a short bus ride from the store. No need to register in advance, just walk up to the counter in the store, sign a release, pay your fee... more

Being a fan of LL Beans clothes and accessories I looked forward to visiting the flagship store and was not disappointed. The prices are the same but it was the journey not the cost. Yes, I took pictures in front of the BOOT and the Moose! I felt no shame! Every family member purchase something; fuzzy jackets, metal water bottles,... more
