Wiggly Bridge — perhaps the smallest suspension bridge in the world. The steel structure features an arced wooden deck that spans 75 feet between green towers. It bounces back and forth when you walk on it.

The Museums of Old York offer real-life insight into York Maine’s rich and storied past as one of the oldest Colonial communities in the country. The Old York Historical Society manages a complex of several historic buildings.
You can start your museum adventure at the Old York Museum Center, which hosts educational programs all year. This complex features the York Corner Schoolhouse (built in 1745), Jefferds Tavern (built in 1750), and Remick Gallery, which contains historical and artistic objects.
Other buildings among the Museums of Old York include:
The Old Gaol was constructed in 1656 as the first prison in Maine.
The Emerson-Wilcox House Museum was built in 1735 and served as a home, general store, post office, stage tavern, and tailor shop.
The Perkins House Museum and Administration was the summer home of Mary and Elizabeth Perkins starting in 1898. The historic part of the house is open to guided tours between June and October.
The Donnell-Hancock Warehouse was built in the 1740s and is the last remaining Colonial commercial building on the York River.
The George Marshall Store was built next to the warehouse after 1867 and used for selling coal, building materials, wood, and general merchandise.

Just steps from Short Sands Beach is Fun-O-Rama. Like the name implies, this beachside amusement arcade is fun for the whole family.
The 10,000-square-foot seaside pavilion has more than 200 video and arcade games that hearken back to the old days of seaside arcades with a honky-tonk circus atmosphere, much like Old Orchard Beach amusements.
