The Portland Children's Museum offers lots of fun, hands-on activities for the little ones. Their exhibits and studios include:

  • Water Works - move, spray, watch, and play with water
  • Play It Again Theater - kids dress up and take the stage between performances by storytellers, musicians and puppeteers
  • Grasshopper Grocery & Butterfly Bistro - little shopping carts, pretend food, and noisy cash registers allow kids to play at shopping and meal prep
  • The Dig Pit - move stuff with dump trucks, shovels, and buckets

During a day at Portland Children's Museum you'll have a variety of fun opportunities, including a chance to hear stories, create with clay, and dance or make music. Admission tickets are required.
