This exceptionally child-friendly museum is committed to providing an interactive and educational experience, making science accessible through a wealth of hands-on activities and engaging exhibits. Highlights include IMAX movies in the five-story Mugar Omni Theater, and multimedia shows at the Charles Hayden Planetarium. There's also an enormous gift shop, a variety of snack options (including pizzas from celebrity chef Wolfgang Puck), and spectacular views of the Charles River from the vast windows at the back of the museum.

What’s on

Utopian Hotline at Museum of Science

Part telephone hotline, part vinyl record, and part live performance, Utopian Hotline uses real voicemails left on a public hotline to create a moment of community — inviting audience members to re-imagine our shared future. A cosmic conversation with Theater Mitu’s latest creation and inspired by the 1977 NASA Voyager mission (the launch of a vinyl-style recording of sounds found on Earth into space), as well as Covid-19 pandemic uncertainty and isolation, this experimental performance asks: what would our next message into the distant future be? This collaborative performance from May 1-18 is done in partnership with SETI Institute, Arizona State University’s Interplanetary Initiative, and Brooklyn Independent Middle School.
