Make exciting discoveries through hands-on exploration in two age-appropriate museums that make up our three-acre suburban campus. Younger children explore the wonders of creative play in an intimate setting. Kids can operate a train, experiment at the water table, climb the rainbow slide or serve play food in our 50’s style diner. Older children experience everyday science with open-ended interactive exhibits including a giant Newton’s Cradle, an Anti-Gravity mirror, the Sea of Clouds, the Frozen Shadow room and the Mist Tornado. We’re located approximately 20 miles west of Boston and accessible by train at the South Acton station.
