The place is huge and there's lots to see and do including \\\"shows\\\" which are educational and fun especially for the children. The place is very busy and even on holiday weekends. I liked a lot of the exhibits but a lot of them felt very old and outdated, such as the ones with animals. The animals are real taxidermy critters, have clearly been there for quite a long time.\\n\\nOn the bright side, this place has a ton of attractions that you're free to touch and interact with so your little ones will love it.

The Museum of Science was an absolute delight!The exhibits at the Museum of Science are truly awe-inspiring. They cover a wide range of scientific disciplines, from astronomy and physics to biology and engineering. Each display is meticulously curated and presented in a way that engages visitors of all ages. It was amazing to see how science comes to life through interactive experiences, hands-on experiments, and mind-boggling demonstrations.Be sure to check out a Planetarium show. The state-of-the-art technology showcases the beauty and vastness of the universe.The Museum of Science also offers a wide range of educational programs and workshops. There are plenty of opportunities to delve deeper into various scientific subjects.The staff members are knowledgeable, friendly, and ready to answer questions, making the learning experience both enjoyable and informative.Not only is the Museum of Science a treasure trove of knowledge, but it also boasts stunning views of the Charles River.I cannot recommend the Museum of Science in Boston enough. It provides an enriching and captivating experience for visitors of all ages.

Great experience as always!! The boys had a blast and definitely left the museum empowered. I really loved the interactive exhibit that projects you on the big screen with an alternate ethnicity. Science and art remain are greatest tools for overcoming ignorance, hate and bigotry, providing the investor the greatest ROI for their time and resources.

It’s been 20 years since I was last here and it was still pretty neat! I do think a majority of the museum is more catered towards younger kids, but my husband and I still enjoyed our day. The Electricity Theater was super neat! We saw a 4D show as well which we enjoyed. I wish we had more time to explore. There really is a lot to see and I would recommend it for sure!

We love Museum of Science! Many great exhibitions and shows! Many games for children! We loved exploring about ice and mazes.Also, this time we went to the 4D Theater to "Tiny Giants" and Planetarium to "Explore the Universe". Highly recommend it! Want to come back soon!!

A great visit for the kids with a lot of interactive exhibits. They have puzzles, coding and physics demos. What's unusual for a science museum was the live insect section and some natural history exhibits. I'm giving 4 stars because of the entry fee, given the huge sponsors and benefactors I find $29 for adults and $24 for children (!) to be high for such an important museum. If the motto is to inspire the young generation, that entry fee certainly acts as a barrier especially for some communities.

Overall, it is was a good experience. Plenty of kid friendly activities, and as an adult, I also enjoyed some of the displays and activities. The 4D movie was worth it, even if brief, but both planetarium shows we attended were quite underwhelming. I expected much more having been to other planetariums, and the ticket prices don't seem justified for what they delivered.

Returned here for the first time since my children were young and this trip with grandchildren. Found great nostalgia in seeing many of the standards remain, with new exhibits stood up. The children's eyes were full of wonder, and their minds were challenged by what is there. Personally, in comparison to other museums of this type, I feel that some further upgrades are in order to make this the great museum it once was! .Yet do not miss out on this treasure!

It's amazing n wonderful. Not even teen but we also loved it. All concepts of science , force, illusions, optics, Tesla electricity show, Mars show, locomotives, fossils, intricate models of ships, gems, green walk, insect zoo... N what n what not... All were displayed so well. One day is not enough to visit this place. Our one visit was so eye-opening n refreshing. Good work. !! Outstanding maintenance.

We bought a premiere membership for 8 for a year and it was totally worth it. We've taken family several times, and there were new exhibits each time. The children were interested and occupied for the entire day. The Planetarium was great, but glad the membership included 4 free adult tickets.

I've been coming to the Museum of Science off and on for years now. They have enough fun and interesting exhibits to appeal to both kids and adults. The museum has done a good job of updating or adding new exhibits over time. Although there are a few exhibits like the nature dioramas that feel outdated. Where else in the US can you see actual lightning as part of a science demonstration like in the Theater of Electricity. One of my favorite parts of the museum is the Omni IMAX Theater. Even though it was built in the 80's, it's domed screen is still one of the largest IMAX screens in North America. I recommend catching a film, it's an immersive experience.

This review is a 2.5 so round up to three. For my kids, this place is a hit. As a parent, it’s an average to below average outing overall. The parking situation is ok. But getting into the lot is a nightmare. The price for parking is not very reasonable. Ticket prices are outrageous. A family of 4 (2 adults and 2 kids) pay $106. No trouble getting in. The cafeteria area seems to have limited seating based on what I saw. We had trouble getting a seat; we left and came back and found a table later. And then other patrons were doing a bit of circling to find their own place to sit. Reasonable prices for rubbery pizza. They have coke products which is good. The exhibits were numerous and somewhat interesting if a little dated in places. The Mars stuff was nice.

So many things to do in this museum. Must see electricity show. Get down in front on the floor for best view. The topics between displays suddenly jump from one topic to another. But is you have school kids if any grade, they will love this place. Plenty of spots for parent to sit and watch their kids attempt to break everything they see .
