The first floor of the museum gave so much mining history and lots of information on minerals from Maine. The second floor has more minerals and gems on display, and has space rocks to check out. It took us about an hour to do the whole museum. Outside of the museum sections, they have a discovery room that is free to check out with drawers full of gems and minerals from all the world. They also have a fantastic gift shop with lots of different gems and minerals. Also don't forget to check outside the museum where they have even more minerals on display!

Street parking is available or short walk from some of the larger public lots as well. Walking distance to a number of local restaurants and bars to grab a bite prior to or after events. Highly recommend getting out to support this awesome venue!

I will definitely come back if an artist comes through that I wanna see here. Oh the show we saw was the Jackie Greene set.

Yes, it's small. About 20 rows, maybe 20 seats per row. That being said- there's not a bad seat in the house. We saw "A Christmas Carol" and I've gotta say, the actor who played Scrooge is incredibly talented! The entire cast really did a great job. Very short play, but quality. But the review I guess is more for the venue, I bought tickets and upon arriving realized that my grandmother had also bought tickets. I didn't want a refund- it was our mistake- I more so wanted to let them know that the seats I purchased would be empty, should they want to fill them. To my surprise the very sweet ladies at the ticket office offered to switch my tickets to the next play in January! Super impressed with that, and will continue to support them, they do a lovely job there.

So far, our favorites from the 23-24 season have been "Saint Dad," a play about intricate family dynamics and loss in rural Maine, and "Clyde's," about a sandwich shop employing an entirely formerly incarcerated staff. In both of these shows, the acting was spot-on! We usually pick a showing on a weeknight to access easy parking outside on Forest Ave. Sometimes, we come early to secure parking and get a bite to eat at Empire or Otto's before the show. The theater is super comfortable, and there is not a bad seat in the house!

Living in smaller towns, I never had such a place, and since I have become part of this community I have been able to witness the Westbrook Community Center grow to offer so many programs to our community and beyond. My first introduction was the child care program they have there for before and after school. This used to be called Ready Kids, and now is called Westbrook Learns. This is an affordable and structured after school option that has been great for my son. They have activities, games, crafts, reading, etc to keep the children busy after school. If interested, contact the community center to see if they have openings and I highly recommend signing up early in the summer to secure your spot. My son also attends the summer camp, where they have scheduled activities, learning, field trips, swimming, and sports going on every day. My son comes home tired! Beyond the child care, the community center also hosts sports for children including, soccer, basketball, lacrosse, dance and much more. It really helps to keep children physically challenged all year around. For grown ups, there are a ton of exercise programs including zumba, boot camp, kettle bells, etc. I know I am missing so many services as I do not utilize them all. The next activity I plan to use is the swimming lessons. My son is an excellent swimmer and they offer lessons for all skill levels in their inside pool. Other activities and offerings include: Inside batting cages, full sized gym, historical society museum, senior citizen services, a community garden, music and dance lessons, a cafe, and much more. I hope others will share their reviews to let the people of our region know of all the services this excellent facility provides.
