Milking Maggie the Cow at the Children’s Museum & Theatre of Maine

The museum has several food-related permanent exhibits and play areas, designed for ages 1-10, where kids can pretend to be a chef, farmer or lobsterman. It’s an appropriate theme in a town that is so food-obsessed, and it serves an educational purpose, too. The kids get lessons in where their food comes from. They learn basics about biology, and when they weigh a lobster, sort produce by size, and color or count eggs, a little rudimentary math.
