Museum of Science

Science Park, off O'Brien Hwy. on bridge between Boston and Cambridge

About

Home to the largest "lightning machine" in the world the Museum of Science is a source of scientific excitement. With over 400 interactive exhibits you are greeted by a full-sized dinosaur, guaranteed to capture the attention of even the youngest of guests, and then brought on a fun-filled scientific journey throughout the museum where experimentation is encouraged. See the stars at the Hayden Planetarium, or travel the world in the Mugar Omni Theater. Many exhibits are permanent, but new exhibits arrive all the time. Large viewing rooms make this museum loads of fun for kids and adults alike. -Jessica Polizzotti, Boston Local Expert  1 Science Park, tel.617-723-2500 /
