Description:
Targeted for kids ages 0-10, the Children’s Museum sounds just like an indoor playground. But it’s much more than just a place to entertain young ones – it’s three floors of fun in a safe and educational environment.
Just a sampling of exhibits follows. Most of these are hands-on: Boats Afloat is the biggest bathtub opportunity ever. Clean water complete with currents, and lots of boats for kids to race and bob around. A related exhibit is Under the Dock – a look at Boston Harbor from beneath the surface. Kids can crawl around and inside the creatures that live in the murky depths. In the Construction Zone, kids and parents turn into instant builders. Try driving one of those Bobcats and you’ll see. Teen Tokyo transforms you through a subway ride into a Japanese teenager. Discover the culture of these young Asians.
