These and the hundreds of other exhibits make this museum one of Bostons top attractions. Hatching chickens, a comparative brain exhibit and a math and statistics room are educating and entertaining. There is a food court, with a Sunday brunch buffet and Friday night cocktails.

ChristinaK5689's rating:

"The Museum of Science in Boston offers a great educational diversion on a rainy day (or on a sunny night if one wants to visit the observatory!) Whether one is watching the indoor lightning storm, a breathtaking movie in the Omni Theatre, or a starshow in the planetarium, or taking a more hands-on approach in the Discovery Center or in Mathematica, one always thoroughly enjoys him or herself. There are three wings: Red, Blue, and Green, each having three floors. There is also an exhibit hall which is currently featuring Baseball America until the end of summer. There is also a cafeteria if one gets hungry. Additionally, one can always skip right next door to Cambridge Side Galleria if he or she has a shorter attention span."
