Do you like that feeling when a roller coaster seems about ready to pull off its tracks? You're in luck: The Museum of Science's Mugar Omni Theatre is Boston's largest venue for wide-format Imax movies. An intense digital sound system and comfy seats enrich the experience. You won't see big blockbuster hits here, but you still get plenty of bang for your buck. Expect enjoyable, educational flicks.

In Short The MOS's newer sections and temporary exhibitions are cutting-edge, relying heavily on interactive games and computers. Because of the busloads of school kids and campers that arrive daily, adults are wise to visit later inthe day. A modern food court provides an ideal spot to take a break. Just as popular as the exhibit halls are the Hayden Planetarium and Mugar Omni... more

I absolutely like going to this museum, especially the laser shows. I like the exhibits because they are so interesting and I learn so much. There is always something to do in the museum. You can also see the omni shows, which are very good as well.

The Museum of Science deserves an A+ on everything. All of their exhibits are fun, and most of them are interactive which makes this a very non-boring place to go. You can go there many, many times and it never gets old. The electricity show is amazing (but loud!), and is free with admission. This is a great, fun learning experience for all ages.

I went here often as a child up until my teens. I always had a lot of fun, and learned a LOT. Many of the exhibits change from time to time, giving plenty of reason to revisit.

Further, the Omni Theater shows are fantastic. If you visit, make sure you see one -- you have to!

PROS: Fun, educational. Omni Theater!
CONS:
