Luna La CremeNovember 25, 2014Sooooo big! Go to the human life exhibit, it has a fun interactive piece!
- Jeff BridgesAugust 5, 2013Awesome stuff for all ages, but there are always a ton of kids. Look at the computer place.
Remember, you can't just go to the Butterfly Garden, 3D Theater, or special exhibts (I.e. Pompeii) without buying an Exhibt Hall ticket!!
Reinny COctober 7, 2011Rocketships, planes, dinosaurs, animals, maths, moleculs, this place is awesome! Spend a day is still not enough. Cool place for kids!
Vincent ChaoDecember 8, 2012Photographers, go to the fifth floor of the garage to get a perfect view of the Boston skyline.
Claire BilodeauOctober 14, 2018There are science exhibits and shows for everyone! One day clearly is not enough!
John LFebruary 10, 2013I wouldn't say give it a miss entirely, but if you're heading to New York then don't bother 'cause the contents of this museum pale in comparison to the behemoth Museum of Natural History there.
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.

Sean RourkeDecember 7, 2014It's not what I remember as a kid on field trips. There seem to be fewer interactive exhibits, and more words written on posters you're supposed to read. It's definitely not worth the huge cost.
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.
The new human body exhibit is fantastic and a lot of fun
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!!!
See a planetarium show — they're much more than you might expect!
michael bradleyMarch 25, 2011Top floor of the parking garage has great views of Boston, Charles River and Cambridge...bring your camera.
- michael bradleyMarch 25, 2011+ too floor of parking garage has great views of Boston, Charles River, and Cambridge...bring your camera.
You could spend an entire day here and still want to come back to see everything you missed. Membership highly recommended.
Rose GismondiOctober 30, 2009Take the train into town. After the museum, hop the train across the street and see other parts of the city. Check for special events in advance on their web site. Read more
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..."
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
Make sure you check the daily schedule and catch some Live Presentations!
