What People Are Saying About Museum of Science
Featured Review

Straddling the border of Boston and Cambridge on a picturesque riverfront, the Museum of Science is a highly popular destination for locals and visitors alike, with permanent and traveling exhibits canvassing natural history, technology, astronomy and everything in between.
Editor's Tips
- Know Before You Go:
- New showings sell out fast. Get your tickets in advance, either in person or through the museum's website.
- Save Money:
- After 6pm, prices drop to $5 for adults, $4.50 for seniors and $4 for kids.
- Parking:
- Avoid paying the museum's flat rate ($5 after 5pm); park on one of the quiet side streets near the CambridgeSide Galleria.
- The Extras:
- The Omni's monthly email newsletter offers info on show openings and free test screenings.

Great place for friends and/or family

You don't have to be a geek to love the Museum of Science! They have really neat exhibits to make learning of scientific stuff fun... my favorite is the bubble exhibit, where you can make bubbles in all sorts of shapes. There's a cute kids section, and a more advanced math-and-computer related section for the uber-smart. Unfortunately, it's a bit pricey - around $17 per person. I was a bit disappointed with the laser show - we bought the tickets online, got there, and found out that it was cancelled due to technological difficulties. D'oh!
- Pros: Fun way to learn!
- Cons: Expensive

The last time I went, the museum was in a state of disrepair. It seemed like half of the exibits were broken or dirty. We never got a chance to see the movie we bought tickets for because it was cancelled.
