Edward M. Kennedy Institute for the United States Senate 210 Morrissey Boulevard, Boston, MA 02125

"This is a nice place. I took a field trip here with my class and from what I saw it was amazing. In the center of the building there is a 1:1 replica of the U.S senate chamber. I also enjoyed the stone plaques of the 50 states in order of which to join the Union."

"The EMK Institute is next door to the JFK Library in Boston, but staffers informed me that it is not affiliated with the Library. That said, the Institute is really focused on the US Senate and the life of Edward Kennedy. The centerpiece is the replica of the US Senate Chamber, where visitors can sit in a "Senator's" seat. also remarkable is the replica of Senator Kennedy's Senate office. If the institute could have made the office so that visitors could sit in it or interact with in it like a certain presidential library in the US, that would made the experience more fun."

"Visiting the Institute of the United States Senate was recommended to me by a friend who knew I was going to the Kennedy presidential museum right next door. When I entered the Institute, I was greeted by a very pleasant gentleman who offered to provide me any assistance. When I told him I was just there to visit the Institute, he explained that it was no longer open to the public. That ended my experience at the Institute."

"Super cool and well done replica of our senate floor. It's so much smaller than what'd you'd think!"

"We traveled here with a large group of 8th grade students today and The Kennedy Institute organized an incredible learning experience for us!! From walking into the life size replica of the US Senate, to breakout groups where we learned how our Senate works to represent us--start to finish, students were all highly engaged. Their knowledgeable educators created an environment where everyone was given the opportunity to learn something new. Well designed experience and cannot recommend it enough!"
