If you have never been this is a hidden gem of a museum for kids!!

Their philsophy: To spark delight in learning by igniting curiosity and creativity in children and adults, as they discover together the joys of science, nature, and play.

With both indoor and outdoor hands-on exhibits this museum has won a National Medal for Museum Service and a Best of Boston award from Boston Magazine.

If you surround children with stimulating materials and resources, they will follow their natural instincts to observe, predict, and experimentin other words, to be scientists. Real stuff and simple materials are our preferred tools for learning. Add curiosity, creativity, and working together, and you have a simple recipe for creating successful learners.

Put another way, what we want is great play for kids. Play that is rich, varied, full of experiences, both solitary and with others, with found or repurposed objects, or just with imagination. Great play is what every kid needs and every kid deserves. The cost to provide it is very low. The cost of not having it is very, very high.
