As good as I remembered
I went here as a kid and remembered this being one of my favorite places. Unlike the aquarium, which was quite the let down, the Museum of Science did not disappoint. We spent almost 5 hours here with our 4-year old! There are so many activities to do for kids (and adults) of all ages. Out little one especially loved the Pixar exhibit that they have right now and we spent over an hour in that exhibit alone. Would definitely also recommend the Planetarium film Big Birds Big Adventure for little ones - our daughter loved it and it was a great intro into astrology.

Pretty good, meant for younger children
The Boston Museum of Science has many interactive exhibits for kids ages 4-11. I would not recommend bringing older children to the museum because the displays were designed for younger children. They had exhibitions from biology to weather. I enjoyed the Future of Boston exhibit the most. Overall, the experience was fun, and each display was entertaining. One thing to preface before going there is to bring a mask! They will not let you into the museum without a mask covering your mouth and nose. Although they have masks at the front desk, they are children's masks, so bringing your own is advised.
