Museum of Science, Boston, MA (5 smiles)


We went to The Museum of Science in Boston on April 29 and here is my review.....


Date:  5/2/2009

Parking:  Parking garage onsite.

Gate/Admissions:  [$$$$$] See pricing here

Birthday Parties:  I did not see birthday parties on their website, but in my opinion you can do a party just about anywhere!

Bathroom:  Plenty and well marked in the museum.  All of the bathrooms I went into had changing tables.

Cleanliness:  Very clean.

Store:  They have a wonderful cafeteria with just about everything.  They also have a souvenir store with lots of educational toys.

Overall:  We had a great time.  I recommend bringing a stroller or I saw some families with the child leashes.  I let my son walk around most of the time, but it is a huge museum and even though I only have one to chase after in a place this size with the amount of people it can be pretty difficult to keep your children close.  I found strolling through the exhibits that were geared for older children and letting him get out and explore the exhibits that were more hands on for his age, worked out great!  The other thing I love about the museum is that there is so much for all ages.  I was concerned that the museum may be geared for older children and adults and that he may not have as much of a good time, but I was wrong.  There was plenty for him to touch and explore.  The frog exhibit is great and don't forget to check out the Discovery Center.  That exhibit has stuff for children age birth to eight years old.  Lots of hands on stuff in there.  We also went to the Charlesbank Playground right around the corner from the museum.  You can see my review here.
