Play Your Way: Sensory Trick Or Treat!

  • The Children's Museum & Theatre of Maine 250 Thompson's Point Road Portland, ME 04102 (map)

Come experience a low-key Halloween at the Children's Museum & Theatre of Maine during a festive playtime for children with sensory integration challenges. Follow a trick or treat visual map to find treats throughout the Museum & Theatre, play in our exhibits, and show off your costume in a warm and inviting atmosphere. This is a perfect time for families affected by Autism, Down syndrome, Sensory Processing Disorder, or other challenges to experience the Museum & Theatre and celebrate the season. Our staff will make special adjustments to our normal exhibit lighting and sound design; noise-reducing headphones will be available. A limited number of visitors will be admitted to ensure a calm and welcoming play environment. 

Masks are required for everyone ages 5 & up and recommended for ages 2-4. We understand that it can be challenging to wear masks due to sensory challenges, but please do your best to have your child wear a mask. Masks are not required in our outdoor exhibits.

This event is FREE thanks to our long-time sponsor WEX. All parking on Thompson's Point is paid parking using one of the onsite kiosks or the Passport to Park phone app. Reservations are required - please hit the RSVP button to make your reservation!
