[quote=Anonymous]I have been going to MDI every summer since I was a little girl and now enjoy taking my son there!

A few suggestions:

Reel Pizza- gets very crowded. To get tickets, especially for the earlier kid's show, you need to be in line about 30-45 minutes before the box office opens.
Jordan Pond House- you can get reservations, or alternatively plan on coming about 30 minutes before the end of the lawn service. We have been able to get seated quickly at that time
Hiking- our favorite kid-friendly hikes are South Bubble/Bubble Rock (and then popovers at Jordan Pond House), Flying Mountain, Beech Mountain, Great Head (near Sand Beach), Shore Walk
Diver Ed- I enjoyed it but my son (2 at the time) was pretty terrified. Diver Ed is really loud and he blows his diving suit up. If your child is afraid of mascots, it probably isn't the best trip. We did really like the little museum at the College of Atlantic (where the boat trip meets)
Restaurants- Thurston's and Side Street Cafe

My favorite places on the island that you didn't mention- Little Long Pond (we like swimming and having picnic) and then visiting Asticou Azalea Garden

Echo Pond is also a fun place for the kids to swim

Have fun![/quote]
