I grew up in MA, so I have been to the Museum of Science many times. This is really a city treasure. It is so much fun for kids of all ages! :) It is perfect for school trips, dates, family outings or a sightseeing stop on a vacation. There is so much to see and do in the museum - you can definitely spend an entire day (at least) exploring it!
There are many long standing exhibits that have been there since I was a kid, but they never get "old" - the museum is great because everything is hands on, so kids (and adults!) can really learn with all their senses.
The Omni Theater, in my opinion, is better than any IMAX theater, because it is a dome, so the image is actually all around you. It is a great alternative to seeing a regular movie, too, for a date night or a family night! (although the movies are generally much shorter than a full length film).
The electricity chamber (I can't remember the exact title!) is so cool! It freaks me out every time I see it (and I've probably seen it at least 10 times!).
They have a nice cafeteria and gift shop as well.
Highly recommend this place to everyone!
