Things to do

Portland is ripe with versatile family-friendly attractions, from engaging indoor museums to exhilarating outdoor ventures— ensuring every day is a new adventure for you and your loved ones. So, let's dive into the city's best offerings for families.

Firstly, immerse your family in the interactive world of the Children's Museum & Theatre of Maine. It's an exciting platform for the young ones to gain knowledge through playful education and experiential discovery. Be sure not to miss out their acclaimed theatre program—the oldest in the nation.

Next, get your imaginations running wild with Kids Con New England, a distinctive event that celebrates children's art and creativity. Actively inspire your kids creativity, as you lose yourselves in the illustrated world of family-friendly comics and books.

Lastly, marvel at the historic Portland Breakwater Light, or better known as the Bug Light. Located in the picturesque Bug Light Park, it's an ideal spot for a leisure family picnic or a relaxed stroll while enjoying the views of the Maine coastline.

As you tread the paths less travelled, you'll uncover Portland's reputation as a counterculture hub. The city's diverse neighbourhoods, lined with quirky boutiques, trendy eateries, and vibrant art scenes, offer families an inside look at Portland's progressive lifestyle.

Finally, Portland's location at the heart of nature allows families to have an outdoor adventure like no other. With stunning nature trails and parks, it's an ideal locale for hiking, cycling and spotting wildlife. So, pack your adventurous spirit and immerse yourself in the breathtaking embrace of Mother Nature, making your Portland holiday a memorable one dotted with exceptional experiences.

When to visit

If you're looking for a family holiday adorned with warm sunshine, your best bet would be to visit Portland from late spring to early fall. During these months, the city is alive with vibrant colours and outdoor activities are plenty, providing the ideal setting for a fruitful family holiday.

To avoid the summer school holiday crowds, visit during the shoulder season from September to October. You'll enjoy comfortable temperatures, perfect for exploring Acadia National Park's autumnal looks while dodging the peak season prices. Alternatively, the quieter winter months offer opportunities for skiing adventures. Ultimately, the best time for your family to visit Portland boils down to the activities that interest you the most and your holiday budget.
