Maine Discovery Museum - Bangor, Maine

It was a wonderful experience! Although we discovered that our son was just a bit too short for some of the play areas, we made the most of it, and he had an amazing time. I highly recommend visiting during the fall or winter when the weather is cooler. WE will definitely go again when he a little bigger

We loved this museum! Totally worth the visit. This museum is comparable and (in my opinion) better than the new Children’s Museum in Portland. My kid’s had a blast and there was so many different things for them to do and explore. There was even a reptile show going on when we went to! This will be our new Winter time place to play.

What a fun surprise it was to stumble upon this place with an almost 4 year old. I wasn't sure what to expect but the exhibits were so fun and well thought out - my daughter did NOT want to leave. Great job to the staff that maintains and runs everything - there is something for every kid.

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.

We bring our daughters every year. This year our oldest was almost 4 and finally big enough for all of the older kid activities. But everything was broken , under construction and out of order. Our 1 yr old had a blast but our oldest was disappointed for the entire visit. The treehouse was closed, (she was so excited to finally climb it this year). The crane on the boat was broken. A lot of the buttons in the exhibits did nothing. The bicycle in the human heart was out of order. Bones were missing in the dino dig. After this visit, we likely don't be going back. Instead we will take the trip out to Portland and visit that museum instead.

A MUST if you're visiting Bangor with kids! This museum has tons to do and the staff are extremely friendly.

Had a great time taking our daughter here. We will definitely be back when she's a little bit older so she can enjoy it more!

I like the children's museum. It's in a beautiful old historic building in Bangor. Alittle pricey at 12 dollars per person but the funds go to something worth paying for. Our Children.
