科学博物馆

这个博物馆很古老过时。有些展品估计二十年都没更换过了。巨幕影院是它最大的卖点,我也去过其他一些科学馆,波士顿这家没法跟那些比。是我的话我会做点别的,跳过这里。

波士顿有很多好玩的东西,要我一整天都在同一个地方玩可真不容易,不过,科学博物馆就值得你在这里玩一整天。我们带上了两岁半的儿子,他对太空和恐龙很感兴趣,我们是在劳动节的周末去的,那时候很拥挤,但是我们依然玩得很开心。我们在楼下的礼堂看到了很多蛇,然后又在恐龙展览区玩得好开心,我们很喜欢那些恐龙的模型,在这里有许多交互式的活动,专为两到三岁或是更大的孩子设计的。我们在中庭参加了一个关于纳米银的讨论,然后还在时空胶囊里玩了好多次,就好像我们真的是在做一个时空旅行任务似的。我们还看了一场电子的演示,开始是一根小小的泰斯拉线圈,然后慢慢地变成巨大的范德格拉夫发电机。一句话:很吵!带着年纪很小的宝宝的人应该站在门边,小心点最好嘛!我们觉得设计得最好的一个地方是Discovery Zone,就在IMAX 剧场的旁边。这是专门为年纪比较小的小朋友设计的,刚会爬的、初学走路的、学龄前的孩子都有专门为他们设计的不同的项目,这些项目都设计得非常好,既有娱乐性,又让孩子玩过之后能够学习到东西。因为来这里玩就是一整天,所以吃的也很重要,这里有许多小吃摊,那些食物都很好吃价格也不贵,有许多可以选择。总的来说,小孩子和大人都很适合来这里玩。

过时的展览,需要更新,好消息是博物馆有些地方正在重修。我试了几项活动,要不就是坏了,要不就是不好用。海底沉船找到的展品挺有意思的。除此以外,我建议你还是去电影院看IMAX吧。

对于那些喜欢古生物学,早期人类历史,特别是巨型生物或气候变化的人而言,在波士顿科学博物馆举办的展览(将在在2013年一月结束)值得花上一个早上或下午的时间前去参观的。所有的东西都是可以触碰的,你可以将乳齿象的牙齿和邻近的毛绒猛犸象的牙齿比较,看原物大小的饲养的洞熊,或者想象你自己正在参加一场洞穴典礼(互动)?展示形式多种多样,都很有趣。当然,卢芭,小毛绒猛犸象在这里占据着中心地位,但是也有很多猛犸象的祖先,展示了它们是怎样进化的。这些都是通过模型头颅展示的,而且你还可以摸。动物每进化变大一次,就变高一次,每个盒子旁边都有真正的牙齿样本和骨头样本,这些知识都是从这些样本中得出的。影片和文字说明很好的解释了我们是如何知道的以及我们知道些什么,对长牙情况和牙齿的磨损情况做了很好的分析。小孩们喜欢自己动手(拍打一个固定在墙上的披着麝牛毛的假猛犸象),大人们比较欣赏猛犸象和乳齿象的系谱图。每个拥有想象力的人都会喜欢那个展示了猛犸象家庭从清晨或黄昏的迷雾中走出来的影片。如果我们能穿越回那个时代,哪怕是一天,我们都能了解到多少东西啊!因为我们不能穿越,这里就是最好的地方。

这里有极其卓越非凡的东西……我会用相片来说明一切。非常适合各个年龄段的孩子,甚至是成年人。美食广场有一些非常美味的小吃,还能看到美丽的河景。来这里坐一坐,体验一下科学的神奇吧。Brougham

Visited on a Saturday in March, was thinking it might be super busy but it wasn't bad!Went with my wife and my 13+14 year old boys. Exhibits were interesting enough to keep us all entertained for about three hours. This was one of the attractions on the city pass which cost $49 for four attractions. The entrance price here was normally $23 each. Parking tip! Park at Cambridgeside Mall which was about a block away and cost about 1/3 of the price it would cost at the museum.

For those of you with science museum memberships in a different city, this museum participates in the reciprocity program, enabling you free access with your membership card. Admission to this science center is EXPENSIVE, so if you've considered getting a membership at your local museum, it would be wise to do so before visiting the Boston Science Museum. Also, the museum offers free Imax movies in March, as long as you get there in time to get tickets before they hand them all out. We saw the Imax on Galapagos, and it was beautifully done. I'm not a particular fan of Darwin or his theories, and I've yet to find a science-related Imax fan which doesn't pepper their movies with his evolutionary viewpoints. Galapagos was no exception, but it was still worth seeing.The 4-D show is well worth doing, as is the planetarium. My kids loved the exhibits, especially the area where they could experiment with motion, levers, pulleys, etc. (Level 2). I thought the photography exhibit on contemporary food was intriguing. PLENTY to do and see on any day. We were there around 4 on a Friday, and we stayed until 8pm. It started getting crowded around 6pm. There is a T station very close to this museum.

We took my friend's little boy with us to visit this museum. It is such a fun place for kids and adults alike! The dinosaur exhibit is fantastic and the museum has several exhibits that are hands-on for kids including one that is about the science of the playground that is super fun for kids and adults. You can easily spend a good chunk of your day at this museum. The exhibits are great and the admission price is on par with other science centers/museums I have visited. If you're looking for something to do with kids in Boston, this is the place!

We just visited the Boston Museum of Science for the second time. We love it even more! We have a membership and I strongly recommend it , especially if you have children. We live 4 hours away from the museum, so we can't visit very often but it's still worth getting a membership. The children have so much to learn ! And it's all so interesting and cool and there's still a lot of areas that we haven't explored yet . Great educational place ! You won't regret it !

The Museum is great, but you have to deal with a lot of children, the electric show was the best thing there, all the exhibits were good, the Mayan exhibit was very good, everything there is a self led exhibit.

This museum is so fun, interactive, and inherently interesting that my son (aged 9) and I spent six hours here today, and wished we could have spent more. The highlights for us were: a computer ecosystem game in which you can program different imaginary, on-screen fish to interact with an existing underwater ecosystem; an interactive display about Robobees, robot bees being designed by engineers right now to do the work of biological bees - very cool! - in which you can choose to send them on particular missions; and a great project station, staffed by very kind, patient, and intelligent engineers, at which you could try your hand at engineering a platform for a zip line, using lots of cool equipment and loose craft items, according to your own creative idea, with the support - as needed, according to what you want to do or how much help you say you need. It was so much fun, we actually lost track of time.The Hayden Planetarium is attached. We saw a great show in the planetarium there today, about NASA. Be aware, though, that the planetarium is there just for these shows - in addition to the actual show room, there is a small display about our solar system, which we enjoyed for half an hour, and that's it.The cost today for two passes to the museum (one adult, one child) plus two tickets to one 50-minute show at the planetarium, was $56. However, we were very happy there for six hours, so it didn't seem like bad value for what we received in return. We had to exit the museum (and go through the ticket-giving barrier) about four times today, as the cafeteria, planetarium, and museum store are all outside the main museum, in a separate,but attached area. It was no problem, however, as the passes are good for one day, and you just need to restamp your hand each time you leave, and that will let you back in. All in all, this place is so great. If you're in Boston and love scoence, you should go!

The whole experience was amazing ! My boys loved it ! The omni theater was an amazing place to see humpback whales ! The picture and sound effects where great ! You really felt like you where right there !

We went for the Mayan exhibit in preparation for a trip to the Yucatan, postponed for many years. It had also been many years since our last visit to the Museum where previously we had spent many hours as parents and even a notable overnight or two with girl scouts. The exhibit was quite large with lots of interactive stations that focused on building, learning how to read hieroglyphs and following their history through three periods. We spent about an hour in the uncrowded gallery. Skip the movie, it's more than 20 years old.

Went to view two films at the Mugar Omni Theatre. It was a wonderful experience. The chairs are very comfortable, the sound system the best have ever heard, and the 360 degree viewing was unique. Felt like you were actually there. There are so many various exhibits at the museum that there is something for everyone.

as a kid i used to come here once a twice a month ( being a member is perfect for situations like this . skip the line and get right in! ) The last time i went before this was 3 years ago and I remember that i was a little upset that the place wasn't up kept like it should be with all the donations it receives.However.. this time I went, I was blown away. Not only was it clean, but they have added so many interactive machines that makes learning that much more fun! The Mayan exhibit was well worth the additional extra dollars as it was my favorite part!...if the MOS ends up reading this... PLEASE FIX THE MUSICAL STAIRS :)
