  • Small enough the kids won't burn out- everything a natural sciences museum should have from dino. bones, dioramas from around the world, hands on dig, and top floor current display of insects...

  • If you love learning about science, the academy of natural science is fun and interesting. I went once when I was younger, but going when you're older you actually enjoy and want to learn more - I hope. I love seeing the dinosaur exhibit as well as seeing all the different types of animals in all different parts of the country. I love the live interaction or seeing all the different species in the museum- tarantulas and beetles may not be something you would want to see but you can see details and the environment they live in. It's great for all ages - young and old. Pro tip, if you are a family and love visiting the museums it's best to get a membership. Otherwise order your tickets online. You save a little more.
  • Very nicely maintained museum for kids to know things very closely. Staffs are extremely helpful & are down to earth to explain things in detail. They even showcase few animals up close by (touching animals are not permitted as of now). This institution allows library passes & provides an offer (valid only after 3 pm onwards) for parking at Logan garage. Cafe is not fully functional as of now.
