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.

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.

Perfect activity for a rainy day (or sunny!). Brought my 2.5 & 5 year old and we could’ve spent all day. It’s 3 levels, each floor has multiple activities to do. There was a reptile touch & talk that we just missed. We saw that this is a museum in the reciprocal program that our Florida museum membership was apart of - and Sam made it so easy to get in free with our pass. The gift shop is so affordable. Mason was so helpful when my son asked if he could put coins in a donation tornado thing, he took his own wallet out and that just was so sweet. We can’t wait to return! The place was a bit warm, so I’d dress in layers to keep cool.

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!
