Portland Children's Museum

This interactive museum seeks to stimulate children's interest in the natural world and in society. Hands on exhibits foster an understanding of such concepts as sound, gravity and medicine by promoting experimentation and fun. Kids can toy with light and shadow, manipulate water-powered machinery, create with clay, play dress-up, and work on art projects too. A grocery store and cafe provide them the opportunity to experience the world of adults and expand their boundaries even further. They also have rotating exhibits like Dinosaurs: Fire and Ice, where kids have the chance to explore dinosaurs and the environment they lived in hands on.
