Overpriced with little to hold children's interest. Large spaces were almost empty and unkempt. Transportation to the area very difficult. Not worth the effort. Children will be just as happy to play on Boston Commons or science museum. Overpriced. More

We have a two year old, and went here with her and my parents. It was a full day of entertainment. Everything is hands on, though maybe better suited for 4-6 year olds. There are several different rooms on three floors, all with different themes. One room is completely full of bubbles and bubble making devices, while another is a... More

Varied exhibits, a caring and devoted staff, always trying to please. As an example of an social expeeriement this place must be experienced...every one is happy and they want to be (there)/ here. This place is an example of what is missing in our current overly busy society. Kids love it here. Adults love it here. Take a moment to... More

This place is mainly geared towards the younger bunch...I'd say 6 and under. But there is soooo much for them to get into and just lose themselves in. I was pretty impressed by the different rooms and displays and wouldn't hesitate coming back. More

We took our two kids here for the first time ages 6 & 8 they loved it the 6 year old especially. When we went back with him at 8 it was so sad he had out grown his wonderful memory. Well worth it for the little ones! More

Probably suited to kids aged 10 and under, but ours found it great to have a day that was largely focussed on them, rather than the usual tourist attractions. Very interactive so the kids had a blast, and their is an Au Bon Pain on location to buy lunch, or you can take your own lunch from home and eat... More

We are a member of the museum and we take our 19-month old son there almost 2-3 times a month (more frequently in the winter time). We've been to other children's museums in CA and FL and the Boston Children's Museum is by far the best one. We loved the toddler room and the crawling space when our son was... More

This is one of my son's favirote places in boston, we have been here multiple times and i am sure we will be returning for more. They change some of the exhibitions every now and then so you always get the feeling you are seeing something new. check out their website to see if there are any special events around... More

A treasure in the city. Watch for discount passes, use your library museum pass etc. Go early to find street parking on a weekend otherwise garage is around the corner and is validated in museum. Special programs always available. Don't try to do it all in one visit or you and your kids will be miserable. More
