Considered by many the best indoor family destination in the Boston area, this enormous science museum has sections that focus on the moon, dinosaurs, the human body, and nanotechnology—and that’s just to start. Reviewing the website in advance can help you sketch out a game plan for where to visit first. Also check in advance for the schedules for the Omni theater, 4-D films, and planetarium, which all have additional fees. Kids of all ages zip from hands-on activities to interactive displays, and it’s fun, educational, and entertaining. Unlike most museums in Boston, this one has its own attached parking lot. There’s an expansive gift shop. Food options include burgers, salads, sandwiches, and coffees.
