My 5, 4 and 1 year old loved this place. It is fairly small, but they pack a lot into it. There are many hands & legs exhibits to crawl on, in and through. Kids all really loved the almost realistic model firetruck with a fire pole inside and dress up! Staff members led various activities through the day, such... More 

We came here on a Wednesday night and it was free admission. This museum had multiple floors and many different type of sets and just things to keep your kids occupied. If you have kids and are visiting Portland, I highly recommend swinging by and you can easily spend a few hours here.

We took my 3 year old and 9 month old. The place was great. Everything was clean and well maintained. We actually spent most of the day here.

We visited with our 7 year old grandson. It didn't take him long to work his way through the exhibits, but he seemed to really enjoy himself. Cars, fire trucks, lobster boats, grocery stores, and airplane exhibits allowed the kids to explore and play in a safe, friendly environment.

We brought our 15 month old grand daughter here. While it's primarily focused on older kids she had a blast. Great time pretending to be a fireman-woman, Doctor, shopping and lots more. Each activity had a great display of safe items.

My husband took our 3 year old here while my mom and I shopped. He had a great time and couldn't stop talking about eating grasshopper cookies!! 👍

My son is 2 and loves this place. I think it's probably best suited to kids ages 2-7.....older than that might get bored. Its a great space though - highly recommend! T
