Visitor Services at the Museum & Theatre

So many things to discover!

What we offer:

Coat/Bag Storage
Behind the desk in the lobby, when you first walk in, we have many coat hooks and a space for stroller parking.

Lost and Found
All items found are returned to the desk in the lobby. These items are kept for at least one week; please call (207) 828-1234 if you believe you have left something at the Museum. For health reasons, we do not hold onto food, sippy cups or pacifiers.

Emergency or First Aid
If you have any safety concerns or incidents, please ask a guide or any staff member for help immediately!

Accessibility
The Children's Museum & Theatre is fully accessible to all visitors.

Clean and Safe Props
We work hard to keep our museum clean and safe! We are conscious of potential choking hazards and avoid them in our exhibits. All of our plastic food is washed and sanitized nightly. Other props, such as dress-up clothes and stuffed animals, are laundered on a rotating schedule. You can help us keep our museum germ safe by letting us know if a prop has been in your child's mouth or by simply placing a dirty toy in the drop bin in our toddler park.

Visiting with a baby or toddler?

Baby Changing Tables
Every public restroom is equipped with changing tables. For health and safety reasons, we ask all visitors to use only the changing tables to change diapers.

Disposable Diapers
If needed, diapers and wipes are available upon request at the front desk.

Nursing
Nursing is welcome anywhere in the building. We provide chairs or seats in the cafe, Book Nook, Toddler Park and throughout the museum. If you prefer to nurse in private, please ask a staff member and we can make accommodations for you.

Stroller Parking
In the entrance lobby, you will find a coat area with space for stroller parking. You are welcome to wheel your little one around the museum if you prefer, as it is completely accessible. We offer additional stroller parking in the café on busy days.

Food Services

Although we do not allow eating in the Museum's exhibit areas, there is a cafe located on the lower level with a vending machine filled with nutritious, natural snacks and drinks (machine takes cash, credit or debit). A locally owned and operated company keeps the machine stocked with a healthy selection of dried fruits and nuts, popcorn, fruit juices and more. The cafe is also an ideal place to share a lunch from home or take out from one of our neighboring restaurants. During warm weather months, you can also enjoy outdoor snacking at one of our backyard picnic tables.
