Museum of Science
The
stated Mission of this 170-year-old Museum of Science is “to stimulate
interest in and further understanding of science and technology and
their importance for individuals and for society.”
Activities,
exhibits and programs of the Museum live up to the Mission. They
encourage curiosity, questioning and exploration, and create a sense of
personal achievement in learning. This is what makes a visit to this
museum truly enjoyable.
The
Museum has many interactive exhibits both permanent and traveling
covering almost all aspects of science from Archeology and going all the
way to virtual fishing. It also features Omni Theater, Planetarium, and
Laser Theater where shows unravel mysteries of science.
The
Museum is open from 9:00 am to 5:00 pm everyday except Thanksgiving and
Christmas. The regular charges for admission are $12 for the Exhibit
halls and $8 for Omni, Planetarium, and Laser.
New England Aquarium
The
New England Aquarium is located near Faneuil Hall Marketplace, Central
Wharf off Atlantic Avenue. The Aquarium has more than 7,000 aquatic animals from around
the world. The animals include such amazing animals as the penguins,
horseshoe crab sea otters, harbor seals and even whales and sharks. It
has amazing settings and exhibits like the “Edge of the Sea”, a
rocky shore habitat, and a 200,000-gallon “Giant Ocean Tank”.
Other
attractions at the Aquarium include IMAX® Theatre, Whale Watch cruises
and Science at Sea harbor tours. The tours are offered only from April
to October and are charged extra; also on site are the Aquarium Café
and Gift Shop.
It
makes sense to go there at opening time and get a more personal touch
with the aquatic animals. The full ticket costs $13.50 for the Aquarium,
another $13 for Science at Sea and $27 for the Whale-watch and $8 for
IMAX.
