Where the Quest Begins

Boston’s Museum of Science is in a Class of its Own

Boston has one of the best science museums in the country. Museum of Science , located at 1 Science Park, it is an excellent museum that has whatever you could possibly be interested in when it comes to science. It has factual information for parents and fun, exciting experiments for children. The entire family will be thoroughly entertained. There are so many exhibits to see, you’ll find that five hours has gone by in a blink.

The Planetarium, the 2-story Van de Graaf generator, capable of producing 2.5 million bolts of electricity, 3D digital Theater, Simulator experience and an IMAX movie theater to list only a few of the hundreds of dynamic exhibits that the museum houses. No matter how old or young you are, there is plenty for you to see and do; the wide variety of subjects such as geology, physics, electricity, technology, anatomy, and biology, even current events like the Big Dig will keep everyone captivated. About the only thing you won’t like about the Museum of Science is their closing hours, but you’ll love how convenient it is to most Boston five star hotels , because literally, one day is not enough time.

The Museum’s mission is to transform the nation’s relationship with science and technology, by promoting active citizenship informed, inspiring lifelong appreciation, encourage young people to explore and develop their interests in understanding the natural and human-made world. They’ve accomplished their mission and gone beyond it with live presentations and current exhibits such as A Bird’s World, Bees, Beyond the X-ray, Bradford Washburn: The Man Behind the Lens, the Butterfly Garden, Cahners ComputerPlace, Catching the Wind, Colossal Fossil: Triceratops Cliff, Dinosaurs: Modeling the Mesozic, Discovery Center, How Your Life Began, Human Body Connection, Human Evolution, Innovative Engineers, Inside the Mind of M.C.

As you can see, there’s always a lot going on in the Exhibit Halls, with new exhibits being added on a continuous basis, so don’t worry about possibly being bore, because it’s not even a consideration.
