What visitors say
Decent place, definitely a pretty small space but my nephew still had lots of fun running all around. $8 for Maine residents which isn’t too bad. We spent over an hour and a half there. There was one restroom but had no wait each time…
We adore this place!! We go a minimum of one time a week. It’s the perfect place for toddlers to play and discover. And a great place for mom and dad to get a break out of the house!
A fun and interactive spot for kids, affordable for visitors and a yearly membership is 100% worth it if you want to frequent there. They have events, camps, and just drop in music with kids; but even if you just visit the exhibits…
