(AP) The Children’s Museum & Theatre of Maine in Portland plans to open to the public in its new location on June 24.

The museum closed at its old location on Free Street at the start of the coronavirus pandemic and then announced in October that it would not reopen that location. It will now be located at a new 30,000-square-foot facility at Thompson’s Point.

The museum said in a statement that when it reopens “it will do so with protocols in place to keep visitors safe, including: timed ticketing, reduced building capacity, social distancing, enhanced cleaning, and mandatory mask wearing of all visitors five years old and up.”
