We visit this museum every time we're in Maine - two or three times a year. It's really a wonderful, creative, cheerful place, clean and brightly lit too.
It's a very manageable museum - not huge, but plenty to do: balls and ramps, a fire truck, gas station, grocery store, barn, vet's office, touch tank, to name a few areas. It's like a huge indoor educational playspace, very hands on. During nice weather there's a great outdoor area with a ship to climb on and a music area that's kind of like a big percussion station.
There's no cafe, only vending machines, but there are tables and chairs if you want to bring your own food. You can also get your hand stamped and return later that day if you want to take a lunch break somewhere else.
If you have younger children, you should really plan a visit. It will be a couple of hours very well spent.

This is one of the best Children's Museums that I have ever been to. It is a great rainy day activity .
