Our family Loves the Maine Discovery Museum!! We brought our 5year old granddaughter Saturday, She had a Great Time!! It had been a little while since our last visit and we were pleased to see the new exhibits!! Tomorrow is our 3year old granddaughters turn and I invited a friend and her 3yr. old to join us! We were impressed as usual Saturday with how clean and inviting the whole facility was! Thank You for keeping the Children’s Museum a Great Place for Fun and Imagination!!!
Me and my 2 year old had a great time. We are not from maine and were just visiting and it turned out to be a great time. We spend most of the day there. There are 3 floors with different activities, clean restrooms, and staff was helpful.
Had a great time taking our daughter here. We will definitely be back when she's a little bit older so she can enjoy it more!
Perfect for my four year old, but not enough to do for my eight or thirteen year old. They did find some things interesting but it’s geared towards a bit of a younger crowd. It was a good way to spend some time leaning on a rainy day though. Don’t forget to use your science museum reciprocity benefits here! We got in for free using our home museum membership.
Perfect activity for a rainy day (or sunny!). Brought my 2.5 & 5 year old and we could’ve spent all day. It’s 3 levels, each floor has multiple activities to do. There was a reptile touch & talk that we just missed. We saw that this is a museum in the reciprocal program that our Florida museum membership was apart of - and Sam made it so easy to get in free with our pass. The gift shop is so affordable. Mason was so helpful when my son asked if he could put coins in a donation tornado thing, he took his own wallet out and that just was so sweet. We can’t wait to return!
The place was a bit warm, so I’d dress in layers to keep cool.

What a fun surprise it was to stumble upon this place with an almost 4 year old. I wasn't sure what to expect but the exhibits were so fun and well thought out - my daughter did NOT want to leave. Great job to the staff that maintains and runs everything - there is something for every kid.
There's lots of things for the kids to do and no time limit. My kids absolutely love going and we learn something every time we go.
Brought my 15 month old daughter here to get some energy out. The top two floors had lots of activities for her to explore and engage with. Definitely recommend as it was only $10 per person and hours of fun!
