Is there anything that screams school is out and summer is officially in session more than a trip to play mini golf? We say no and that’s why we’re always on the lookout for the best spots to visit. In a place like Maine where tourism is huge and people love to be outside, there’s certainly no shortage of great spots to try. We recently came across one in southern Maine that we can’t get enough of!

Driving along Portland Road in Arundel, you might not guess that dinosaurs roam just feet away! The sign for Raptor Falls Mini Gold & Ice Cream is unassuming. Just the way we would plan it if we were home to ancient creatures.
