Reviews
"This is where the mapparium is located. We found street parking. My niece was able to get a student discount even though she just graduated from college (just as long you have a student id). It was a great experience with a friendly and helpful staff. I think it's best if you do walk-in tickets. I believe adults and kids will enjoy this. Our tour guide even offered to take our pics so it could show a view of the globe and the glass crossing bridge."
"Very cool room with lots of history. You can hear a whisper from one side to the room to the other, creating a very cool echo effect for any noises. The room offers lots of education on the old organization of the world and how much it has changed in comparison today. Definitely recommend if you’re in the area."
"My visit to the Christian Science Center was a truly enriching experience. Walking through Mary Baker Eddy's journey provided a profound insight into the history and teachings associated with the Christian Science movement. The exhibits were informative, allowing me to appreciate the founder's remarkable journey and the principles that shaped the center. The serene atmosphere of the center, coupled with the beautiful architecture, created a conducive environment for reflection. Exploring the grounds and learning more about Mary Baker Eddy's legacy enhanced my understanding of the Christian Science Center's significance. Overall, I had a great time immersing myself in the history and teachings of Mary Baker Eddy during my visit to the Christian Science Center. It's a place that not only offers a spiritual retreat but also serves as a captivating educational experience."
"As a lover of maps, this was a really unique little stop. It costs $6 per adult for about a 10 min video & audio tour. The Mapparium itself was stunning, and unlikely anything Ive experienced visually and sensorily. The architecture is beautiful inside, and there are neat details like a chandelier that also tracks the month and day. As others have addressed, the Mapparium exhibit and other exhibits do a great job of sharing objectively about Church of Christ Scientist. There was no persuasion or attempted religious agenda being pushed whatsoever."
"Wow! What a jaw dropping place dripping with gorgeous stained glass that curates a world map from 1933. I really enjoyed my time here and the building is also lovely. The architecture of both the building and the mapparium is stunning. We were enlightened that many of the structures in the building were concocted from materials from around the world. I highly recommend coming here for the mapparium show. It is concise and breathtakingly beautiful."
