Its a great museum for a 3 year old, and we recently had a playdate there with some out of town friends. They have lots of handson activities using balls, bubbles, wheels that spin, and lightup buttons. The best thing is that there is tons of different rooms to explore, and lots of space to run around in. On a... More

This was by far the most wonderful way to spend a day with 4 children ranging in ages between 2 years old to 9. The museum is educational in an entertaining and active hands on experience. We spent 6 good hours there and had to drag the children out only because the place was closing. Very highly recommended.

Same as above and so much fun for Molly that she did not want to leave! And, she loved the giant "Hood" milk bottle on the outside!

I LOVED going here as a kid! We are only a train ride away so I used to come with my family on day trips here.There was so much to do and so many great things to play in or at. My favorite was the huge place the kids can crawl in that is two floors! Each room is a... More

Amazing place to bring kids. The toddler area is really wonderful. I recommend arriving right at opening time, since it gets pretty crazy by about noon. Try for the weekdays, if possible. There is a cafe and lunch area linked to the museum. The gift shop is pretty sweet too.

We went on a public holiday which was a bit of shame since it was so crowded. There was enough to keep all our kids 13/11/10 very happy and interested and the activities are well set up so the kids could be free to interact with them. Great indoor activity with kids and easy to get to on public transport

The price is reasonable. Especially if you go 1 hour before closing because they will cut the ticket price in half. They currently also have a $1 admission special on Fridays. Fantastic place for kids to discover. Think indoor playground tied to science. And when you leave, they had you a book with a packet of seeds to take home.... More

We went once a few years ago, and had to go back when the kids were a bit older. This is one of the best Children's Museums we have visited. So much to do! Many floors, many rooms, many exhibits. And it is all for the kids! The climbing tower is not just for the kids! had as much fun... More

Visiting Boston, Harvard Campus for daughters, student prospect, and taking ALL children with me, (5, ages 9-16) A woman on the "T" struck up a conversation with me, and ultimately suggested a "must see", the Childrens Museum, and on Friday it is only $1.00! We tied it in with our intended visit to Chinatown for dinner. When we arrived, there... More
