Museum Of Science aka: Boston Museum Of Science

Saturday, August 4

Decent place but definitely not worth the price of admission for me. Quite a few “broken” exhibits (especially those that were computer-based) but I guess that’s to be expected what with all the children running around mashing buttons. The cafeteria options were extremely disappointing but I should’ve known better than to get my hopes up based on the signs posted around the museum. Probably best to go on a weekday, perhaps during the school year.

I did enjoy “A Bird’s World”, “Mapping the World Around Us” and “New England Habitats”. Still looking forward to visiting the planetarium sometime.

I went to the museum of science yesturday 5/20/07. If my sister and I didn’t have free admission to the exhibit halls it definately wouldn’t have been worth going! As it was, we paid for my little cousin to get in and the extra things (the 3-d digital movie on bugs, and the butterfly). well some of the things in the exhibit halls didnt even work! actually lots of them! The bathroom was dirty!!! ew! and the bugs movie was terrible. The best part was the butterflies and i am not into butterflies that much!!

If you are in college, GO ON COLLEGENIGHT. People… It’s BADASS!!!

We got a free duck tour, my buddy got to drive. It was almost-all free, it was SO MUCHFUN! Holy cow…

I always begged to go here as a kid and for a while I had a family membership. What was great about seeing it again recently on vacation was that while there were many new exhibits, there were a a few displays and exhibits still there that I remembered from my childhood visits. Mathematica has barely changed. No more awesome sound-meter wall, 60-foot wave tank (there is a 10-foot one), tic-tac-toe on a touch tone phone, and ComputerPlace is where The Brain used to be. Also, a few of the remains of the once-great Computer Museum are housed on the third floor overlooking the Van de Graff generator.

GO!
