Children's Museum of Maine

Frommer's Review

The centerpiece exhibit here is the camera obscura, a room-size "camera" on the top floor of this stout, columned downtown building next to the art museum. Children gather around a white table in a dark room, where they see magically projected images that include cars driving on city streets, boats plying the harbor, and seagulls flapping by. That's just one attraction; others range from running a supermarket checkout counter to a firehouse pole that kids can slide down. It's a fun place for the little ones.
