Children's Museum of Maine
Children's Museum of Maine, Children's museum in Portland, United States
The Children's Museum of Maine is an interactive learning center with exhibits covering science, art, and local nature spread across multiple floors. The facility combines hands-on experiments with discovery stations throughout its entire building.
The museum was founded in 1976 and later relocated to its current location, where it expanded its facilities significantly. This move enabled the development of new educational programs and activities for young visitors.
The museum connects children with local artists and conservation through hands-on workshops and observation areas that highlight Maine's environment and creative traditions.
The museum is open Wednesday through Sunday, and advance online ticket reservations are recommended to ensure your visit. Clear signage throughout the facility helps visitors navigate all exhibition areas easily.
The facility includes a Maine Watershed Aquarium where children explore local marine ecosystems through direct observation and activity. This space showcases the living waters that shape Maine's environment.
