Such a great place to bring your kids/nieces/nephews- whoever! It's all very educational and fun. I brough 3 kids by myself and had no problem keeping up with them. There is so much to keep all of them occupied. They do fun little activities & keep them entertain the whole time! Friendly and informative staff!

This museum is in the middle of downtown Portland with a parking garage nearby. It was very busy on the Saturday we visited. The museum has several activities and exhibits across three floors. It is ideal for toddlers and children up to 10 years old although there are a few items of interest for slightly older kids. We enjoyed watching... More

Compared to the Acton children's museum and Dover one, this was by far the best. Displays were made by hand and well crafted to allow for imagination. Museum was clean and my 4 year old took an average of 2 hours to see the whole thing. He enjoyed the firetruck display and food market the best but there were many... More
