    Still great
    I grew up in Milton. As a kid, I loved the museum. When I had kids, I brought them here. They also loved it. Now my grand kids are visiting. They also love it. It is a great place for all ages.

    Revisiting a childhood favorite with my Grandchildren
    My grandchildren, 6 and 2 loved the Blue Hills Trailside Museum. It brought back fond memories of going as a child then later bringing my children. It was a great learning experience and just nice to be out of the house instead of in front of the tv or with ipad in hand! Promised my grandson we'll return as I was unable to take him hiking up to the tower with a 2 year old (diaper bag etc) in tow.. Also, very inexpensive activity. The baby is not quite 2 so she was free. Adults $5 and children $3. Well worth the cost and good to support such a local gem.
