This place was one of a few stores open in the off-season, offering a lot of Maine themed merchandise covering Bar Harbor, Acadia National Park, and their own "Cool As A Moose" brand. Prices are in line with any kind of touristy, souvenir, regional sort of merchandise. For this spring season, there are a lot of hoodies and long-sleeves. There are a lot of other items to choose from as well. Service was great. I made some small talk with the nice woman behind the counter and explained the crowd was up for April vacation week. Full season starts in May and I guess the place is a madhouse all summer. Five stars based on how much lighter my wallet was (willingly). read more

All things moose ... it gets no better. Stopped at both the Portland and Bar Harbor stores on our Maine trip. Found good gifts both times.

The best tee shirt shop in Maine. Great designs. Reasonable prices clean fun environment.

This is a cute tourist shop with everything you may need to remember your vacation. There is moose mural art on the walls, and of course a giant stuff moose in the doorway. He's a memorable Bar Harbor mascot! read more

A great store! It has so many options for tshirts! They even have a wonderful selection of the soft fabric tshirts that everyone is obsessed with! Pricing is on point! They have so much to chose from... shorts, sweaters, bags, kid stuff, pajamas, trinkets, jewelry, stickers... there is a lot between the two floors! Customer service with a smile! read more

always go there when in Maine. this year, I got a few shirts. the one long sleeve looked like the seems were cut too close. there were holes all along the seems. the other shirts were OK. I called them and it was kind of a joke. I didn't want any thing just to let them know that they may have an issue with their supplier. apparently that was funny to them. the pictures that I sent them showed the holes all along the seems...hem, neck, shoulders, cuffs...they thought it was funny. be careful buying there. read more

My kids loved this store, as did I. Great selection of items. Good quality apparel and fun items for kiddos downstairs. read more

Out of the many souvenir shops in downtown Bar Harbor, Cool As a Moose has the best selection of items to meet all of your souvenir needs.

Your tourist super store and at the end of the season, that is a very good thing as they are looking to move merch at some good discounts. Life is Good shirts are very cute and lots of joke shirts too. Pretty much anything you could want souvenir wise, you can get here. Problem is, I bought a cute Snoopy shirt as a souvenir and when I got home I washed it inside out so it wouldn't have that new shirt stiffness. Imagine my surprise when I pulled it out of the dryer and half of his hand was gone, half the hat and the lettering is starting to fade!!!!! CHEAP @SS SHIRTS!!!!! Thank God I didn't pay full price but beware if you're not buying a Life is Good shirts because it looks like the other shirts are cheap and won't last even ONE FREAKIN' WASH!!! Never even got to wear the dang thing. Not happy. read more

Cool As A Moose - After 1 wash, Snoopy is missing half of his hand, half of his hat & lettering has washed off. Never worn! BOO! - Gift Shops Near Me - Bar Harbor, Maine

We love shopping at Cool as a Moose. The heavy duty sweatshirts are awesome, but don't plan on putting them in the dryer or buy one size bigger than you need because they will shrink up. This is a great store because the merchandise is really nice, the employees are fun and friendly, and it offers a little bit nicer product than most other t-shirt shacks in Bar Harbor. read more

Average tourist shop with a huge variety of Bar Harbor attire as well as quirky gag gifts. This shop was packed when we walked in and the store has so much merchandise that we were a tad overwhelmed. The prices here were a bit high and the staff seemed uninteresting in helping us out or even interacting with us. That being said, another tourist shop in a saturated area. read more

A total tourist trap, but I am a tourist. Trap me. This place is total one stop shopping for all your souvenir and gifts-for-people-back-home type purchases. Magnets that say Bar Harbor and feature a moose despite the fact that there are no moose in the area? Done. Your roommate will love it. Socks with lobsters on them? Perfect for your little cousin - snap it up! The best thing about the store is that it doesn't limit itself to Bar Harbor ephemera. Here you can also get items that broadly proclaim "MAINE" and items that feature local attractions such as Acadia National Park. I got a spectacularly awesome hoodie with a moose on it. No, I know there are none in the area - but folks back home won't! read more

This is a gift shop. You are going to be surrounded by tourist. Be honest YOU are a tourist and you need lip balm/pens/stickers with moose on them (I may have bought all these things) The stand out here is the staff. AMAZING. Give all those ladies a raise. Super friendly and totally promote you having fun in their store. this place is FUN LOVE IT! read more

You can undoubtedly by a t-shirt at every other shop on Main Street in Bar Harbor. Cool as a Moose was my favorite "t-shirt emporium" because they had a large selection of t-shirts and sweatshirts in a variety of sizes. They also sell the "Life is Good" brand which includes t-shirts, sweatshirts, hats, stickers, etc. Considering that I don't like to wear snarky messages on my clothing, I was happy that I could find something here to remind me of my trip to Maine without it saying "Life is Crap" or alluding to lobsters in a raunchy way. I found the prices to be rather reasonable, especially if you look through the sale section on the bottom floor. The clothing is of very good quality as well and my t-shirts have held up to numerous workouts, washings, and my yellow lab's teeth. The staff were friendly and helpful despite the ridiculous number of tourists constantly rifling through piles of t-shirts. I specifically remember one man dumping and entire rack of magnets into the water bowl they had for dogs and just walking out of the store like it never happened. I might have killed him. Luckily, these employees have more restraint. A tourist trap? Yes, but what isn't in Bar Harbor? Pick up a little something for everyone in the family and call it a day. Everyone loves a smiling moose/lobster/other random wildlife. PS. There are no moose on Mt Desert Island. So if you counted on seeing one in Acadia National Park, you'll have to get a t-shirt instead. read more

Their staff were super helpful here! We asked them so many questions because it seemed like they were out of our size in just about every shirt on display but everyone in our party ended up buying at least one shirt from here and a knick knack or two. I think their vintage looking Acadia shirts are some of the cutest out of all the gift shops we went in and out of. It's definitely a tourist trap, but they have some cute merchandise that isn't as redundant because it's not carried by every shop in town. I love all the Life is Good stuff that they carry as well, it seems like they make a point not to carry anything negative which is nice. read more

It's Maine. It's Moose country. So!? I gotta be Cool As A Moose! Great tourist trap for cool moose souvenirs! All sorts of souvenirs ranging from cups to kiddie PJs. I got myself a T-Shirt just so that I can be as cool as THE MOOSE! Or at least try to look COOL... read more

There were so many things to choice from! I wanted one of everything! All you people were super nice! Very happy environment in the shop! A place to get lost in! Crazy but good! Always will come back! read more

Literally my favorite little gift shop in town. We went 3 times on a 4 day trip. I got gifts for everyone here!

Love Cool as a Moose just not the Bar Harbor store! Manager made a point of sending over the sales clerk to stand a few feet away from us and watch every move we made. It was extremely uncomfortable. Will be shopping at another store in the future. read more

As far as tourist traps go, this place rocks! They have t-shirts, sweatshirts, sunglasses, flip flops, blankets, key chains, bumper stickers and more! I left here with a magnet, a couple t-shirts, and a lobster hat. ...they have Moose hats too! read more

Neat little store to grab some Bar Harbor/Maine souvenirs. They have a great selection of items, something for everyone!

Cute little touristy shop with lots of Maine souvenirs. Just about anything you could ask for! Slightly over priced and it seemed like all of the shirts I liked they were out of my size. I ended up spending quite a bit of $$ and was able to find some things I liked. read more

This store sells t-shirts and other paraphernalia related to mooses, lobsters, crabs...... Also carries a lot of local humor, guy and girl humor stuff as well. Fun to browse in this store. This place is always packed full of tourists. They have other store all over New England and in Canada. read more

Definitely a tourist trap, but I can't help it - every time I visit my family I pop in here and find something super cute and leave about $50 poorer. It's tacky and over the top but that's the point of the store :) read more

Cute touristy store here in Maine on Main Street, but I wish they had more Maine-centric items. They are a huge distributor of the Life is Good brand and you can find a ton of that here though. Service is super friendly and fun store to look around and stop in for sure if you are walking down Main! read more

This has to be the best place to buy the funniest and coolest t-shirts in Bar Harbor. The town is filled with souvenirs and t-shirt shops, but this is one of a kind and is huge filled to the back wall and downstairs with not only unique fun designs but a whole Life is Good section downstairs. The staff is friendly and the prices are okay. It is kind of steep for some of the shirts but they are all good quality. They even have some kids designs and some funny joke gags and gifts, magnets and signs etc. A must stop if you are in Bar Harbor! read more

If you want to get a t shirt or any other kind of souvenir to remember your trip to Bar Harbor, GO HERE! They have every kind of gift you could want, and their designs are really cool. Stuff for both adults and kids. The staff have always been very willing to help, and will usually ask you where you're visiting from when you check out. read more

A pretty fun and cute store which just exudes rainbows and happiness. haha. It also has some Bar Harbor gear you can't find anywhere else.

This place is just a tourist spot with everything you need for your stop in Bar Harbor souvenirs.

I went here in search of an Acadia T-shirt. They only had one of the shirt I wanted but it was on a mannequin. The staff were extremely rude and said that the store owner doesn't allow them to take shirts off the mannequins so I wasn't able to buy it. Weird policy if you have a paying customer but whatever. Don't waste your time here. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ read more

I love Love Is Good merchandise, so this store is right up my alley. There are regular LIG items, as well as Bar Harbor/Acadia LIG apparel, there's also a large selection of every souvenir you'd every want. Tie-dye sweatshirts, magnets, stickers, moose antler hats, door mats, stuffed animals and so much more. If you only have time to visit one souvenir shop on Main Street, make a beeline to Cool as a Moose. read more

Cool as a moose...has very cute tee's for the ladies...and are cut to flatter your shape...most are a nice a soft material not that cheap stiff touristy t-shirt material... its actually shirts you would wear...a neat place to pick up souvenirs for your fellow co-workers as well... definitely worth checking out. read more

No trip to MDI is complete without a trip to Cool as a Moose. Every year my family has come here, or that I brought someone with me, this store was a must-stop. Accept no substitutes!! Sure, its touristy, but that's part of the fun! They have nice, quality t-shirts and sweat shirts that you would not be embarrassed to wear. read more
