This review is for the upstairs interactive play area.
I have been going for several years with my grand children. Our last several visits I found there were exhibits that were not working properly especially in the water feature area. I think there should always be an employee monitoring the room. You would find some exhibit items not in their...

Great historic building with multiple floors that have been converted to exhibit space. Not the flashiest children's museum - but that's what makes it really work! It features a nice mix of activities and exhibit types kept our 2 year old daughter busy for a long time. Staff presence was a bit light considering how busy it was, but exhibits...

My kids (aged 3 and 5) love it everytime we are there. We've been going there and regular members for the past 2 years. The museum is fun, interactive for kids and they keep on changing/adding new things to make it exciting for kids.

I have been there twice. Once when it was fairly empty and once when is was EXTREMELY crowded (1st Sat. of Spring Break and a Super Hero Theme Day !!:( My biggest complaint is there is a total lack of supervision or guidance from the staff in the hands on areas. There were a few rooms dedicated to particular projects...

The Portland Children's Museum is a great place for preschoolers. I was there with my grandchildren ages 3 1/2 and 15 months. There were many fun activities to keep both of them busy exploring and learning. We attended the story time done by the author of the book. It was great and the theatre venue was very kid friendly. It...

Keeps the kids busy for hours. Especially great for a rainy day. Many different areas/themes. Very busy at times. Have to watch the kids closely or they will be off and gone to another section before you realize it.

We have so much fun every time I take the kids to the Children's Museum. A family could spend the entire day there, and we have. There are things for little ones to do and not get knocked over by bigger kids. My older child (9) also finds things that stimulate and challenge her. There are things to play with...
