Museum of Science

Lists the science museum among things worth doing before leaving.

Says the exhibits have not changed since the museum first opened.

Says they love the museum and find it still engaging as a grown-up.

Names the electricity theater, under a large dome, as their favorite part and asks whether the museum ever had a telescope.

Regrets that cynicism about the museum is common, but thinks older exhibits still help younger children.

Agrees the exhibits are merely acceptable, though the shows are clearly better suited to grown-ups.

Recommends seeing whatever film is screening at the Omni.

Fondly recalls going there as a child.

Frequent visitors with young children; suggests a membership, on-site garage parking, and a lightning show for that age.

Could happily spend hours just observing the ball machine.

Had a great visit with another adult without kids; placards aim at older kids and adults, though hands-on items suit everyone.

Suggests the Museum of Science, paired with the aquarium, when asked for itinerary ideas.

Anyone who enjoys science and museum visits should find the place very enjoyable.

Enjoyed the old Big Dig exhibit that used to be on display there.

Evening Subspace programs on Thursdays are specifically geared toward adults.

Visited recently and found fewer displays in the halls, though a student and company demo day filled some empty spaces.

Found the museum emptier on a return visit decades after childhood, though still loved it as a kid.

Mentions a Pink Floyd laser show running on Friday and Saturday evenings.

Still absolutely loves it but admits nostalgia colors the view; suggests going and judging yourself.

Fine for grown-ups, but thinks a single visit is enough since the exhibits barely change.

Big fan; definitely fun for adults and highly recommends a planetarium or Omni theater show.

Last visit felt like a playground with lots of kid-focused stuff, but space exhibits and planetarium were awesome.
