We went to see the iMax movie "Antarctica" and the Harry Potter exhibit. Both were excellent. The museum is an under-appreciated gem in Boston. Although we live 70 miles away, we make the trip every other month to see a movie, go through the exhibits, and learn new things. The museum works hard to make interesting exhibits and to make ...

You get to enter the world of Hogwarts and see tons of props. Volunteer to be sorted into a house--only 3 or 4 get sorted and be sure to linger if you want to see the train. The number of items is just about right for a group. We were 4 twelve-year olds and one mom on an odd school vacation day. It took the kids about 35 minutes to see all the ...

This is the best place in the country to learn about almost anything.

The exhibits are absolutely dynamite. The only thing I don't like about this museum is that its winter exhibit hours are too short. The cafes have great food, the live presentations are fascinating, the permanent exhibitions are fun and informative, and the special traveling exhibits are always interesting. I strongly recommend the MOS to anyone planning to visit Boston in the near future.

We have had a membership for about 5 years and we just keep going back. We have 3 kids (now 6-14) and there is something for all of them. We go about 4 times a year and with the free passes that come with membership and the membership discounts it more than pays for itself. Also with the convenient parking garage and lockers we can bring our own ...

I know that when I take my 16 yo son to the Museum of Science, since he was ~6yo, it inspires him to look on to the present and future. I believe that I have inspired him to a life of science and a good education. I work in the medical field and feel that I communicate with this teenager all that much more knowing that we have a common theme. When ...

Naturally, we enjoy the exhibits, and they museum always impresses with new and interesting treasures. My kids loved the frogs, but "Cliff" was the show stealer, and Stephen, the amazing host in the fossil exhibit, kept 3 little boys coming back for more with interesting stories about fossils and dinosaur teeth. Best way to spend an ...

I'm a native of Boston, and I've been to the Museum of Science many times. Today's visit was not only a huge disappointment with worn-down/old exhibits, but we were also fleeced $80.00 admission for myself, wife, and my two young daughters. To make matters worse, most of the "good" exhibitions required an additional fee to get ...

With two adults there so we can split for age and interest this museum is a phenomenal and stimulating experience. The kids didn't even realize how much they were learning they were having so much fun. My 4-year-old's favorite is the waterfall play table in the preschool area where we played while my 8-year- old did an awesome Scavenger Hunt competition with his Dad. (pre-register for that and Night at the museum sleep overs.)
