I absolutely loved the Museum of Science; it is definitely a must-see if you visit Boston. The Charles Darwin exhibit is awesome and very comprehensive, albiet with some reading involved.

I would highly recommend this to anyone with kids, since there’s tons of interactive stuff for them to do. There was a computer station game that I was messing with in the Darwin area, and a 6-7 year old walked up and was asking me all kinds of questions about it before I got him to play it himself. There were lots of extra employees around showing children different experiments, or running shows. One was with these humungous electrical coils. I was surprised that they had some live animals, including monkeys and chicks. There was this cartoon network exhibit, which showcased several animation stations. It included one area where it would take a 3-dimensional photograph, and put them together for a matrix-like effect, which was really cool.

Overall, I was very impressed with this place and any other science museums will have to live up to it.
