Children's Museum Of Maine

Looking to spend a few fun filled hours with your children during your stay in Portland? Then the Children's Museum and Theatre of Maine should be near the top of your "things to do" list. This expansive facility features a wealth of exhibits that can easily make for hours of imaginative play and fun. Youngsters can pretend in attractions devoted to fire fighting, an operating diner, a post office, a car repair shop and a market. Several special sections of the museum highlight Maine culture and lifestyle including the L.L. Bean-sponsored Discovery Woods exhibit as well as the shipyard, lobster boat and sea pirate areas. The museum also runs special exhibitions – a recent presentation focused on the life of whales. This destination does a great job of answering youngsters' timeless question: "What do we do now?"
