Overall Ratings
4.5 based on 223 reviews
Every exhibit at the Children’s Museum & Theatre of Maine is designed to let kids lead the way. These interactive spaces are grounded in the science of play and the latest research on how children learn. Each exhibit is an opportunity for visitors of all ages to learn about their world through dramatic role play, hands-on exploration, navigating immersive environments, and taking safe risks. The building features over 7,000 square feet of exhibits spanning four floors. These spaces reflect Maine’s unique character and encourage exploration across a broad range of subjects, from STEM and the arts to the cultures and traditions that form the fabric of our community.

Spread across four floors, the museum has many little sections for kids to explore, perfect for young minds with short attention spans. The museum has plenty of hands-on activities. I was impressed by how it's laid out, creating a distinct space for each activity. We spent a few hours there, and my three-year-old grandson never bored.

The Coastal Children’s Museum is dedicated to providing children ages 1-9 and their families the opportunity to explore, discover and learn through play about the natural world, the arts and sciences and the diversity of Maine’s coast. Children (and their parents!) are invited to explore our indoor sailboat, CedarWorks indoor climber, and General Store. The museum also hosts many species of tropical and Maine Coast sea life in our "Under the Sea Room" and our Gulf of Maine tank. We also have a daily craft at the art table, puppet theater, Tubes and Tracks, and a woodworking bench and wonderful puzzles and books all throughout the museum. You can also have your birthday party at the museum. Check out our website which has details and pictures of all our exhibits, past workshops, upcoming events and more. We are open Wed-Sat 10:00- 4:00 and Sun 1:00 to 4:00. Summer Hours Tues-Sat 10:00-4:00 and Sun 1:00 to 4:00

The upstairs has travel information and some displays, and if you go downstairs there is a touch tank and interactive displays of the area's marine life, history, and Native American tribes. Enoyable for kids, or any age. There is a waterfront walking trail behind the building.
