Science museum

Great museum! Very interesting things to see. You definitely need more than 2 and a half hours, and I am referring to the free view, not the special exhibitions. Also IMAX is brilliant. Just seen a 3D movie about Antarctica.

The insectarium is lovely! There is a lot of information about how insects experience the world, including a camera that shows how insects with compound eyes would see you!The insect and butterfly/moth room was amazing, I have ALWAYS wanted to see leaf-cutter ants. I could have stayed all day watching them take little bits of leaf off a plant, fall, and make a trip back with the plant bit. They were adorable!

Interesting experience. Was a good way to kill my time here. I really enjoyed it. Would recommend to visit it if you're in Cambridge and you're curious about Earth's eras and it's evolution. Definitely you'll have some nice topics to debate in a pub after.P. S. Be careful if you wash your hands in the toilet room. It's boiling hot.

Tickets were pricey for what you actually get to see. My spouse and I went on Thursday and it just seemed very rundown. We were so excited to finally go, I bought tickets in advance because 2 years ago we wanted to go and it was sold out for days at a time. Very few animals, one exhibit was just raccoons. Staff were somewhat knowledgeable.

You really only need 30 minutes to do the entire thing but it is neat to see the different animals. Wish there were more signs indicating the animal you are looking at though, would've loved to know the species. Other than that, a neat spot to go, and I'm sure it is great for kids especially.

If you are into antiques and rare collectibles, this is a place for you. They have lots of originals from the early 1900s and late 1800s such as, radios, record players, TV, and much more. Definitely stuff I have never seen before. Staff was great, friendly, and helpful. Educational as far as what inventions there was back in the days. I had a chance to talk to John, President/CEO of Sparks and educated me on how they were able to gather these rare pieces. Even showed me other things he has in his collection. Great places to take your kids show them how technology was like back then. I even ended up buying from the CEO a Crosley Model 51 radio made in 1923.

Good short trip with kids to learn about dinosaur period, crystal formation, mining, etc. Free admission and campus offers picnic tables ideal for a good time where we can take lunch and enjoy. Parking is $5 or if you are lucky you can park at coin parking too!

This was a wonderful place. Be sure you pay the extra $5 to attend the show. The staff did demonstrations of many of the old pieces of electronics.

This place used to be such a fun place to take kids. The women working kept yelling at my daughter to be quiet or we’d have to get out. She wasn’t crying or screaming, she was laughing and being excited over all the interesting things. 2 staff members just continued to follow us around, and telling her to be quiet. I hope my daughters happy noises, ruined your day. Already told all my friends and family not to go here anymore.

Excellent musée! La quantité de fossiles y est surprenante et les panneau informatifs très intéressants.À voir !
