ᴡ kbJuly 17, 2010A great place for families and kids to spend the day exploring. The only thing that would make this place perfect is if there weren't any families or kids.
Luna La CremeNovember 25, 2014Sooooo big! Go to the human life exhibit, it has a fun interactive piece!
Come to the Discovery Center and be a bee, Figure out the Mystery Skeleton or be a scientist at the ever changing experiment station! (sometimes there's slime or bubbles!)
Reinny COctober 7, 2011Rocketships, planes, dinosaurs, animals, maths, moleculs, this place is awesome! Spend a day is still not enough. Cool place for kids!
Ani ZMay 31, 2014Tons and tons of fun in the electrifying room. The stamp machine before you head out is fun too 😊 #kidinacandystore

Vincent ChaoDecember 8, 2012Photographers, go to the fifth floor of the garage to get a perfect view of the Boston skyline.
Audigit HamiltonApril 16, 2014What can I add to this extraordinary museum! I effing love technology... and dinosaurs!
Remember, you can't just go to the Butterfly Garden, 3D Theater, or special exhibts (I.e. Pompeii) without buying an Exhibt Hall ticket!!
The new human body exhibit is fantastic and a lot of fun
Claire BilodeauOctober 14, 2018There are science exhibits and shows for everyone! One day clearly is not enough!
Don't underestimate the value of the AZA aquariums & zoo membership status. MOS members we got into the RI (Roger William) zoo free + NATO & intl others. Neither NE aquarm or bos zoos are AZA membrs

Maynard ClarkFebruary 14, 2011Cahners Theater is a great meeting place for a scientific film; all four of my Meetups could entirely fit inside with the seating there.
See a planetarium show — they're much more than you might expect!
Bradley WochholzAugust 12, 2010Maybe there's just something wrong with me. I didn't enjoy this museum at all. Probably great in the 80's but technology has passed this place by. 3D experience? I have better 3D technology in my home
WBURFebruary 14, 2011Check out the new Charles Hayden Planetarium — called the most technologically advanced digital theater in New England. A device nicknamed the "Death Star" projects 9,000 stars into a virtual sky.
You could spend an entire day here and still want to come back to see everything you missed. Membership highly recommended.

Garrett OBrienJune 15, 2010A pleace for kids and the kid in the adults... always something new arriving as you will find yourself saying, ""So THAT'S who that works..."
There are live tamarin monkeys on the second floor in the green wing. Be sure to get there before 4, when they go into their private quarters.- Just finished a planetarium or IMAX show? Head downstairs to see the Live Animal Center!
Kristina KeytonApril 25, 2011Already have a membership? Then you can watch the Pops Goes the Fourth show from the roof of the MOS garage, awesome!!!
Debra AskanaseFebruary 5, 2012The live simulator experience (near the discovery room) is in drastic need of a graphics update. Not worth it. If you do go, sit in the front row.
Make sure you check the daily schedule and catch some Live Presentations!
Adam ZecJanuary 6, 2010Okay, the best things to do at the Sience Museum are: seeing a "Live Animal" performance at the science live stage in the Green Wing, going to see a performance at the Theater of Electricity, in the B
