Just visited Jan 23. Museum has some nice exhibits for sure. My main issue it's like 10 times bigger then it needs to be. Like having a 6 by 10 foot tent in the middle of a 50 x 100 room. There's a lot of room for school kids to run rampant and they did while we visited. Ya you can entertain numerous busloads of kids and I think that was the purpose. Nice if teachers are leading their class and real instruction is taking place but the kids were in supervised and it kind of ruined the experience. We took about 3 hours to see it all. Food is poor quality and expensive. 2 cokes, sub sandwich, pita sandwich, small fruit dish, 35 dollars. Imo admission is way to high. 29 for adults, seniors 25. I think 15 for adults is more in line. Hey the Smithsonian museums in DC are free. It cost three of us 79 admission 35 for food. They need to get a hold of the school program. It ain't working.

Spent the day with our granddaughter when in Boston with her family while her brother was at medical appointments. We have a science center membership in Iowa so we were able to get in with our reciprocity for no cost which was great. We considered the extra movies available but decided to come back if we had time… these were available for a slight add on cost. We arrived around 9:45AM on a Monday morning and the science center parking ramp was filling up quickly but there were spaces available. Love the convenient parking on site. Cost for just over 6 hours was around $25. The science center was not busy and that was nice with a curious two year old. The two year old loved the dinosaurs, wildlife, insects, robotic dog Spot and the building/exploring hands on area the best, but enjoyed exploring every area. She also loved the hand stamps for returning. Anything automated was so cool. We spent about 6 hours checking out everything and visiting a few areas twice. We had a light lunch in the cafe which had a pretty hood menu of options available including her favorites - fries, dipping dots and yogurt parfait. I appreciated having my Starbucks coffee. This was a fantastic way to spend the day and kept her attention with the wide variety of areas to explore.

This is a modern and impressive building that is filled with countless displays and interactive stations on 3 floors to further learning and understanding. Kids were everywhere, some on school trips, and all enthusiastic. There is plenty for both young and old to see and do. In the limited 2+ hours, we quickly covered all 3 floors but had to skip many areas as well as the planetarium and theater. If you found this review helpful, please tap the thumbs up to let me know. Thanks!

This was an interesting museum which has several levels & wings. We saw many exhibits & a staff member giving a presentation that included a live turtle on stage. One of our favorite experiences was the 4D Theater showing Tiny Giants. Our granddaughter's friend had told her not to miss this! FYI, they do have a Planetarium & Omni Films (IMAX) as well. As we were visiting with family who'd been to the museum many times, we had to pick & choose what to see during the time we were there.

Plenty of space to walk around without feeling crowded. It probably helped that we went on a week-day. My family was a bit disappointed in the displays. One room was 'the Hive' and there was an actual fake honey bee hive, somewhat like an indoor ant farm from the '80's, but there were several deceased bees left in the hive display and even had a sign saying the hive was 'down' at the time. It was depressing. There just wasn't really a lot to see or do there. The parking was pricey for no longer than we were there. I would skip it if I went back to Boston.

Our last stop on a three day trip. Figured we'd be here a couple of hours (same as the aquarium the day before). After nearly four hours (no time for films, planetarium or live exhibits), we wrapped it up. Go early before the tour groups arrive. Nearly all the many interactive exhibits "worked" (and the few that didn't had notes on them). A great time for our 11 year-old boy and his folks. We didn't even get to see it all. Much better than the science museums we've been to in PA, NJ and NY. Surprised to see this place rated so low. Plus it's more reasonably priced than the other activities in the city.

Museum has many interactive exhibits appealing to children (and every summer camp in the area seemed to be there). The AI exhibit was quite interesting and the IMAX show about climbing Mt. Everest was fantastic.

Came here with my 3 kids ages 9, 7, and 3. It was a Sunday and it was crowded. There were only a few exhibits/areas that my kids were enjoying and there were l one waits to play with the interactive parts or when my kids were playing there were kids waiting that made the time feel rushed. We've been to science museums in many cities and this one missed the mark for us.

Our kids loved this museum. We spent 2 hours there and only got through half of it. They spent a ton of time at the interactive engineering design workshop. My eldest loved the live Tesla coils show, and my youngest loved the brain games exhibit. We will go back when we are in Boston again.

Best science museum!! Living between Liberty Science Center and DaVinci Science Center I have seen plenty of Science exhibits, but the Museum of Science tops them all. 3+ floors of many different exhibits, tours, shows and hands-on learning. The museum starts in prehistoric times and goes into the future. Great for all ages. There is also a planetarium and Imax theater.
