What a great experience here. The ladies at the front desk were friendly and informative. There is cool stuff everywhere to keep your little one entertained. Also lots of opportunity for the littles to interact with each other and create fun games to play. The Theater room was my favorite! So cute!

We had a blast here. My son loved playing and there were so many different activities for him to do. His favorite was the velcro ball wall.

We love the touch tank, boats, aquariums, stage with dress up, cedar works slide, loom for weaving, x-ray station, wooden drums, and most of all, the play food market. Wait! The sensory play area and tool workshop as well. I also really appreciate the extra seating in each area. We just scheduled a birthday party there last month and got to enjoy the place all to ourselves. They were so accommodating as we were celebrating two birthdays at once. They made us a beautiful custom poster, goodie bags for the quests, and crowns for each of our kids! Very sweet group of people, highly recommend.

Perfect little place with lots of hands on, and pretend play. Some things also to climb and simply exhaust some energy. I would say perfect for 12/18mos - 7/8 yo. Really cute. The kids loved it. I wouldn’t call it so much a museum because I think BIG area. But it’s more like a entertainment play place. Either way worth the check out in my books. I was a little skeptical of the size, but after exploring and seeing all the different things they have it changed my mind quickly.

Such a fun place for five and unders! My 4 year old granddaughter and 1 year old grandson had a wonderful morning here. I love the creative activities that allowed them to work independently. I especially loved the inclusion of writing opportunities in the play - the Vets check-up report form, the order pad in the restaurant, the caterpillar book were all enjoyed by my granddaughter and appreciated by her (retired kindergarten teacher) Grandma! Thanks to the staff for such thoughtful and creative experiences!

My 16-month-old had an absolute blast here while we were on vacation. The people and patrons were very friendly, and there are tons of cool displays and endless rooms for a busy toddler to putter around! It was one of the highlights of our trip!

Perfect for the kids. Small but space incredibly well used with TONS of activities for many ages and interests. We ended up getting a membership and plan to return often when kids need to burn off some energy.

Small but fun. Good for our 3 year old. Not sure older children would like it

Pretty much Paradise for kids under six. Room after room of toys, make-believe equipment, aquariums, climbing equipment, games and so on. Staff is helpful if you need anything.

Great small place for kids to spend their energy in the middle of our road trip. Was on our way from Portland to Acadia NP. Friendly staff, not crowded when we went. Small admission price

What a wonderful place to spend the day. And I mean that - full of wonder as kids do each hands on, just-my-size activity. It took my kids 2 hours to work their way through and they probably could have spent 2 more. I was afraid my almost 9 year old would be bored but he found a few things he loved and stuck with those, though your mileage may vary. It was very clean, very homey and cozy. Not full of bells and whistles but each small station or area had well thought ought activity for children to actually engage with such as a vet corner, a book area with soft chairs, a dress up area with stage, a checkers board, an art table, a moveable marble run on a Velcro wall (I want my own!), A food store, a woodworking shop and so much more. It was cheap for what we got and Ive been to other similar places with triple the fee and not half as nice. They used the space well. There were 2 stalls in each bathroom. No space for eating so eat before you come, plan a picnic or give your business to a local restaurant or cafe. Great for ages 1-8, but up to age 10 depending on your childs flexibility. They do birthday parties and memberships as well!

When my 5yo grandson and I arrived at the Childrens Musuem I looked around and thought,Well,we wont be here long. I guess looking at things through my eyes are different than a 5yos eyes. We outlasted every kid that came in and then I had to practically drag him out the door after over 3.5 hours because it was well past lunch time and I was getting beyond hungry. We will be making a return visit, he loved it.

My 2 year old loved the kitchen and shopping area! Can be small if busy but wasnt when we were there. Great stop on our long drive!

This place is great, lots to do. It is broken up into several different rooms for playing which is nice but makes it hard to keep track of children if you have more than one with you.
