How far away is the sun? What is the biggest living reptile? How come you don't have to remember to breathe?

Take your curious little learner to the Museum of Science in Boston for a day that will answer those questions, raise new ones, and open the door to worlds of information.  Set aside an afternoon to foster one of your child's greatest attributes: her curiosity.
