Not perfect, for sure. But a HECK of a lot nicer than my local children's museum. My 3 year old had a great time (wife and I enjoyed it too).

Great spot for kids! 3 floors of play and learning. We make great use of the membership pass all year and enjoy the benefits when we visit the Boston Children's Museum and Science Museum. Great value!

Cool place for kids but WAY overpriced. The exhibits get boring if you go more than once because they've had most of them since they opened years ago. They need upgrades to keep people coming back.

This point place is amazing for children. With their many programs going on, and all the set ups, this place really helps to spark discovery and the want to discover more in our children. As an adult, I even loved it. You can always learn more as an adult and the museum does just that.
