It's hard for anyone not to be awed by the Tyrannosaurus Rex skeleton that rises through two floors of the museum's central entrance. Many interactive exhibits can keep the whole family entertained for hours. In addition to the exhibits, the museum is home to the Charles Hayden Planetarium and the Mugar Omni Theater, which opened in 1987. The Science Museum is open daily except Thanksgiving and Christmas. There's no admission charge for children younger than 3.
Discounts are available on combination tickets.
You'll see octopi, sea turtles and sharks as well as eels and other nifty creatures. When the New England Aquarium opened in 1969, it was the first of the nation's modern aquariums. Today it is working to maintain its modernity. Children younger than 3 are admitted free. Here, we recommend a few hotels scattered in various parts of the city.
