Reviews
"Visited with 12-year-old grandson. He was engaged, impressed and attentive to the displays - especially the spectacular minerals and the animals/birds. It's hard to predict what will capture the imagination at this age, but the quality of information, the informed and interactive staff, and the "just right" amount of data are absolutely perfect. This is one of the best museums I've ever attended and would recommend it for a wide variety of ages. Really, how many hundred-year-old glass flowers so perfect as to look "real" have you seen! The workbench where the artist made them is the perfect touch to take you into that studio where your imagination brings them to life."
"Outstanding collection, well organized displays, and beautiful specimens. Come for the minerals, stay for the entire Natural History museum. Great for the kids, and free to MA residents if you can get up to Cambridge on a Sunday morning."
"Absolutely hands down the best museum of natural history I’ve ever seen. I’ve been to all the Smithsonian museums in DC. This one beats them all. Super friendly staff too!"
