Brought my 15 month old daughter here to get some energy out. The top two floors had lots of activities for her to explore and engage with. Definitely recommend as it was only $10 per person and hours of fun!Visited onWeekendWait timeNo waitReservation recommendedNoPrice for adult entry$6–10
The kids had a blast! They spent 3 hours here and were never bored. They have activities planned and plenty of staff to help the kids along.Visited onWeekdayWait timeNo waitReservation recommendedNot surePrice for adult entry$6–10
Perfect for kids who like to touch everything!
My ASD daughter and I had a wonderful time here a few months back during a "my day too play" event. It was totally worth the distance we had too travel even on a Sunday night. She had a grand time playing with all the displays and I enjoyed seeing her so free too try new things and happy!! I would absolutely recommend this wonderful place to all parents, but especially to parents who are raising special needs children! There should be more places around Maine that care about our kids too this level! Thanks too all the staff, volunteers, and fine folks who support The Maine Discovery Museum and we will be back again soon!
Took my boys there and they had fun but the place is a bit run down. Most of the interactive exhibits were broken or just not there. The entire place could use a cleaning top to bottom. The area with the puppets was dirty and disgusting. The puppets get a lot of use it seems and have a layer of greasy filth attached to them. The water wheel featuredidnt even have a had pump to make the wheel work. It looked like where the pump was supposed to be was capped off. I paid 22 dollars to get in I don't feel that it was worth it. If the tickets were free then maybe. The place needs to clean up and repair the broken exhibits. All that said, there was still some interesting stuff to see it wasn't all bad. But it's just not worth the price for admission if they don't keep up the facilities.
The kids loved it. What a neat place to have a birthday party!Visited onWeekend
Had an excellent day here with my 4 year old. Like in many other reviews I've seen, several exhibits were unusable, missing parts or broken. However, there were so many things to see and play with that the 2 hours we had to spend here was not enough time. Will come back again!
The museum is simple, but just perfect for my 6 and 4 year old. The staff were extremely friendly and knowledgeable. Highlight of our trip was that the kids got to pet Henry puke to me but awesome to them. We are visiting town from MD, but if ever in the area again we will be sure to return.Visited onWeekdayWait timeNo waitReservation recommendedNot surePrice for adult entry$6–10
A fantastic way to spend a few hours with your children! Everyone we encountered was very friendly! It was nice that there were very clean washrooms and hand sanitizer stations throughout, and somewhere to hang out coats when we got in. The many different floors and areas for children to play and explore were so enjoyable! The only cons I found were really in the nature area. It smelled very strongly of old mouldy moisture, and I know when we were there, more than a few people did comment on it. As well, the water educational feature didn't seem to be working properly. There were also a couple of exhibits that were broken, so hopefully they get some much needed care and updates, so they can be enjoyed again! Karaoke studio!! All in all, we will definitely be back again in the future.
Brough my 8 year old daughter and 3 month old son this morning! We had so much fun there was sooo much to see and do. I really loved how much imagination we could use. Especially enjoyed the little doctor and dentist office the baby had so much to see and my daughter and I were busy busy having fun! We stayed 3 hours and still didnt see everything!
