A place to play

The Boston Children's Museum was founded by teachers from the Boston Public Schools in 1913. It is the second oldest children's museum in the Untied States that you can visit with your car rental Massachusetts. Michael Spock, the son of Benjamin Spock, was the museum's director from 1962-1985 and introduced the idea of "hands-on-learning".

Tips for the big people

The museum is big and there is a lot to see. The exhibits have a lot of activities to them, and the more time that you spend at them, the more engaged kids become and get more from the experience.
