Suggestions for Arts and Entertainment near Downtown Portland, Portland

Stephanie • July 7, 2015Gorgeous old theater, they must have a new sound system- sounds fantastic. Some side seats have blocked views of the stage.

Laurea d. • September 1, 2016Love that there is a new wing & old wing & a house from the 1800's with beautiful wallpaper & carpet. It's not too big of a museum so you can see everything without feeling overwhelmed 🖼

will a. • April 5, 2019The something and Stormy - Mayhaps Dark and Stormy? It’s the cocktail featuring Rum and some lime. Good, strong, and helpful. Recommend asking for a different glass - they crack and leak.

Visit Maine • May 3, 2011A wonderful way for kids to play on rainy or cold days.

Courtney T. • December 26, 2018I love this nostalgic cinema, typically quiet during matinee hours with a variety of concession treats and very friendly staff. However, I wish they showed more than one popular movie at a time.
