The Discovery Museums located in Acton, Massachusetts, just west of Boston, are two separate but complementary museums filled with exciting, interactive exhibits for children of all ages using focused spaces and hands-on activities inviting exploration and discovery.  At lunch or snack time you can visit one of the many area restaurants or, weather permitting, you can take advantage of  outdoor picnic tables.

The Children's Discovery Museum is a wonder-filled 120 year old Victorian house with rooms, corridors, and closets creatively transformed into ten hands-on exhibit areas especially for toddlers and pre-school children and their families.  The Science Discovery Museum is a creative and challenging interactive experience designed especially for school aged children, filled with innovative theme spaces for hands-on experimenting with the basic sciences and math.
