Andrew R. • January 14, 2017Amazing collection! The special exhibits are worth a visit too. It's so easy to get lost in here.

Yasemin • July 29, 2014Our 2nd visit in 5 years. A lot of things are out of order. It is for young kids under the age of 8, I would say, maybe even younger.

Eric W. • October 9, 2016So many different types of things to keep the kids entertained! Butterflies were really cool too

Lauren M. • August 9, 2015Pixar exhibition here is on point for kids and adults alike. Great interactive stopping points highlighting all parts of the animation process in an educational, but fun manner. How museums should be!

Maciej W. • January 21, 2016Beautiful place to spend the afternoon, you can spend anywhere from and hour to the whole day here.

Ashley H. • June 27, 2015Our tour was fantastic. Our guide had a lot of very detailed historical knowledge which I thought made the tour. Well worth the money

Mika • July 16, 2018This extension is always free entry! But if you have a ticket, there’s a free ferry b/w here and the Seaport main museum. Afterwards, I highly recommend getting free cider next door at Downeast!

Danielle M. • January 16, 2012An all time favorite of the Science Museum! You just can't skip it! :D

Todd C. • December 14, 2015Good pizza, really good Crostini!

Andres V. • January 28, 2012I've seen some of the best films here! Of course if you are looking for bubble gum cinema, this is not the place for you...
