I have a soft spot for science museums; or maybe I've never seen a bad one. Either way, the MoS tickles my creative spot in a remarkable way.
The museum was clearly engineered by somebody who believes in fun. Sure, there's information and technology and deep stuff like that, and I definitely dig that. But more importantly, it's full of hands-on trousers-rolled seatbelt-fastened-tray-table-locked-in-upright-position fun. You could spend a whole day here and not be done; that's impressive.
It's a little pricey, but not with a college student ID and not at certain times. Plan your visit well in advance. (Plan it carefully and ahead of time.) Be warned that if you spend too little time here, you'll be haunted by regret over having missed so much.
On the other hand, there's nothing bad about coming back to the Museum of Science. It's a wonderful place. I'm glad it's here.
