1. Museum Of Science
Museum of Science, Boston, Massachusetts
Check out the Mathmatica room, the lightning exhibit, the computer room. Give yourself at least 3-4 hours, if not more, to see the entire museum.
2. Children's Museum
Boston Children's Museum, Boston, Massachusetts
Great fun for children, and for some adults who can still be kids once in a while. Really good for families, and educational for your kids.
3. Fenway Park
Fenway Park, Boston, Massachusetts
Truly a museum to pain, suffering, anguish, and, finally, happiness. Not sure if the tour is worth the money if you're not interested in the team, but for those who are, going once in your life is a must
4. Museum of Fine Arts
Museum of Fine Arts, Boston, Massachusetts
Beautiful art work here. Interesting collection of works.
5. New England Aquarium
New England Aquarium, Boston, Massachusetts
Very cool stuff to look at, but if you're over 14, it probably won't keep your interest long. Not very big and usually very crowded, it's worth a visit but don't plan your day around it.
6. Sports Museum of New England
Sports Museum of New England, Boston, Massachusetts
Sox fans can finally visit without wanting to gouge their hearts and eyes out. Good place for sports buffs and might interest some children.
7. Museum of Boston History
Museum of Boston History, Boston, Massachusetts
Nice background of the city. Good place to start or finish if you're doing a historical tour of the city.
8. John F. Kennedy Museum and Library
John F. Kennedy Presidential Museum & Library, Boston, Massachusetts
Nice place to visit for followers of the Kennedy family. A bit out of the way if you're staying downtown, but it is accesible via the T.
9. Freedom Trail
Freedom Trail, Boston, Massachusetts
Not really a museum, but very historical. A bit overrated, at least that's what most from outside the city tell me. It's really just a line painted on the ground that takes you to the major historical sites around the city. Nice way to see the city and it's history, but not recommended for those with children.
10. USS Constitution
USS Constitution (Old Ironsides), Boston, Massachusetts
Again, not exactly a museum, but still very interesting. Great for history buffs and skippers alike.
