“inspiring through technology”
With daily live presentations, over 700 interactive exhibits, and a steady rotation of Planetarium, IMAX®, and 3-D Digital Cinema shows, there's always something new going on at the Museum of Science, Boston. The Museum's mission is to play a leading role in transforming the nation's relationship with science and technology. This role becomes ever more important as science and technology shape and reshape our lives and world, and it means we: Promote active citizenship informed by the world of science and technology Inspire lifelong appreciation of the importance and impact of science and engineering Encourage young people of all backgrounds to explore and develop their interests in understanding the natural and human-made world To do this, we will continue to build our position as a leader in the world's museum community and use our educational perspective as an informal learning institution to help the formal pre K-12 education system.
Such a great place for everyone to explore! The lightning/electricity show is always a favorite. Make sure you plan your trip to coincide with one of the show times!
How many school field trips have I taken to this museum? Too many to count! But even as an adult, it's fun. Tons of hands-on exhibits for the kids, and they often have fun exhibits like Star Wars or Harry Potter coming through as well. The electricity show is one of my favorite stops, every time. As for the Omni Theater, it really depends on what's showing. The theater itself is not enough for me to shell out the extra money.
