“Best Children's museum”

Boston Children's Museum

I have a 4 yr old and a 1 yr old, and they both loved the Boston Children's museum. We went on a Monday afternoon, and it wasn't crowded at all. My 4yr old liked the Arthur room the best, and they have a infant/toddler room for kids under 3 that was great for my little one. If you aren't familiar with the area, make sure you have good directions, because we got lost for an hour trying to find the place.

“Fabulous - a must visit for young families visiting the area!”

LOVED IT! Visited with our children, both under 6 years of age, and they had a blast. Admission was very reasonable. We visited on a Sunday morning as soon as it opened and the crowds were fair - moderate.

Definitely one of the highlights of our trip for our youngsters, won hands down over the Aquarium.

Great!

This is a great interactive museum and one of the best deals I have ever seen. On Friday nights admission is only $1. There were three levels packed with fun and entertaining activities. The current music exhibit was one of our favorites, as were the art studio and workbench areas.

We visited the museum yesterday and really enjoyed it. According to the conceirge where we stayed it just reopened after some remodeling. We walked from the Financial district which was a bit of a walk, but easy to find, despite lots of construction in that area. The attached Au Bon Pain offered refreshing lunch and snack choices. The museum looked recently refurbished. There was lots to see and do for all 3 of my kids (6,2,2). We played ther for almost 4 hours. It was moderately crowded, but what do you expect during the summer in boston. Best of all admission was free as we were members of the national children's museum association. Would definitely come back if in the area and looking for a fun, indoor place to be.

We go so frequently, that we became members! Our six year old son never grows tired of visiting the museum. The museum has wonderful programs for children of all ages...including a child discovery center with an infant/toddler space and the science on the playground exhibit. Everything is hands-on for curious minds.
