About
A Mama Dinosaur left her eggs throughout the Children’s Museum & Theatre of Maine, and we need help collecting them!
Search for colorful dino eggs, and try your luck at the golden dino egg challenge. Stop by MakerSpace to create a dinosaur-themed craft, explore fossils, and have a tasty snack to finish out the celebration.
Visitors, please note Friday (Baby Dino Egg Hunt) morning is designed with our youngest visitors in mind, and Saturday and Sunday (Dino Egg Hunt) are designed for 3+.
For Baby Dino Egg Hunt, eggs are stuffed with toddler-friendly toys and include non-candy options. Adult supervision when opening eggs is required. For Dino Egg Hunt on Saturday and Sunday, please note MOST treats have small parts and may not be suitable for children under 3 years old as they may become choking hazards.
All dino egg hunters will receive a special DINO-TASTIC tote bag, courtesy of presenting sponsor L.L.Bean, for their eggs and dinosaur art creations. Please leave other bags, buckets, or baskets at home.

Play Your Way: Sensory-Friendly DINO Egg Hunt
Play Your Way is a monthly playtime for anyone who would benefit from a quieter, low-key play session at the Children’s Museum & Theatre of Maine (CMTM), designed for families affected by Autism, Sensory Processing Disorder, Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder, Down Syndrome, or other challenges. This month, we’re hosting a sensory-friendly egg hunt!
A Mama Dinosaur left her eggs throughout the Children’s Museum & Theatre of Maine, and we need help collecting them! Search for colorful dino eggs throughout the exhibits. Stop by MakerSpace to create a dinosaur-themed craft, explore fossils, and have a tasty snack to finish out the celebration.
Please note MOST eggs are stuffed with toys that contain small parts not suitable for children under 3 years as they may become choking hazards. Mama Dinosaur will hide toddler-friendly toys in Lighthouse Cove on the 2nd floor. We suggest toddler egg hunters start there.

Play Your Way is a free event series made possible through generous support from Gorham Savings Bank, the Pond Family Foundation, and the Judith Glickman Lauder Foundation.
Reservations highly recommended so Mama Dino can hide enough eggs; walk in tickets subject to availability.
