It is with a combination of sadness and profound love for our community that we announce the temporary closure of our Museum & Theatre facility at 142 Free Street in Portland, effective at 5 PM Friday, March 13th, as well as the cessation of all associated programming until at least June 30th. We will continuously monitor and reassess the appropriate timing for reopening, in accordance with official public health recommendations. As an organization committed to STEM education, we take seriously the science-based assessment of the severity of our situation and the guidelines for how we should keep ourselves safe. 

Rest assured that our live animals will continue to be lovingly cared for and don’t be surprised if you hear updates directly from them. Additionally, in an effort to continue to serve Maine’s children and families, we are providing virtual programming. Click here to learn more about our online programs!
