Welcome to the
Children's Museum & Theatre of Maine.

Located in the Arts District of downtown Portland, the Children's Museum & Theatre of Maine features a wide variety of interactive exhibits and activities for children and families!

Highlights

We're Proud to be a Part of Maine Member Day:
Saturday, May 14!
Saturday, May 14 is Maine Member Day. Members of our Museum will receive free admission to any of the other eleven participating museums in Maine. This opens the door to museums all over the state - from right next door (the Portland Museum of Art) all the way to Owls Head (the Owls Head Transportation Museum). We're also excited to open our doors to members of other Maine Member Day museums.
For a full list of participating museums and more information about Maine Member Day, visit our blog.
