The kids absolutely love it and why not. Designed to help encourage learning through interactive exhibits, interactive enough to keep the adults entertained as well.

If you have children the Children's museum of Portsmouth is a must stop. There are many activities that will allow your kids to imagine, explore and discover through playing, toys, and shows. The grocery store and the dental exhibit were our top favorites.
