Daniel Washington: Awesome place to hang out for the afternoon definitely a spot to bring the children and let them explore it's very hands on so they'll learn and play yes there is a small cafe but don't expect massive meals just lunch items chips soda sandwiches will definitely come come back
Ken P.: I wish I had more time to actually experience all that this place has to offer. Seems we just walked in the door and had to go off to do other things.

Philip Kurle: This was a very nice science museum. I might have expected a little more from a science museum that is very close to MIT, Harvard, and UMass. I went to the museum because it was the private venue for the 75th anniversary of the American Academy of Neurology during their meeting in late April 2023. So the whole place was packed with neurologists. I guess that made it kind of bizarre and awkward to begin with. I felt that some of the exhibits provided some fairly superficial information. Admittedly we were only there for about 2 hours and didn't see everything. We saw a fairly bizarre, but kind of cool, show in the Hayden Planetarium called the Prince Experience (accompanied by the music of Prince, formerly known as the artist formerly known as Prince). Nothing at all scientific, except maybe the kinesthetic sense of movement induced by some of the scenes, like traveling through a wormhole (as if I would know what that was like). Prince really was a phenomenal musician, by the way. Anyway, apparently they show this particular show on the weekends. I give this 4 stars in comparison with places like the Museum of Science and Industry in Chicago, or the Smithsonian. So it is really pretty good for its size.

Museum of Fine Arts, Boston: what do users think?
Joe K: 미국 역사와 함께 미국의 미술의.역사가 깊지는 않지만 방대한 예술품을 소장하여 그 시대의 모습을 잘 고증하고 있음
Angel Carboni: Love the MFA! I don't think words can describe how great and how important it is to go and visit! There's always new things on display and there's always events going on. As a COF student I'm able to get in for free with membership perks however the normal admission is not bad for the quality and quantity of content there is to explore at the museum! Two visits will never be the same because there's just SO much to see! Honestly could take almost a full week if you're there from opening to close to see all of it!

Chris Capuzzo: Truly beautiful museum. A lot of history to learn. There's always something unique to find there. I don't particularly enjoy most art. However walking through the Greek, Asian, European sections was incredible. Even more incredible was the Egyptian exhibit. I felt like I was getting a glimpse of a world long past. Didn't get a chance to see the whole museum before it closed. Definitely plan to come back.

At least three floors with global, Asian, African American, and American dedicated spaces. Fully recommend getting the tickets in advance to avoid 30minute to an hour lines. Enjoy!

Icahn O'Klazt: Lovely museum. The glass flower showcase could use more lighting (background lighting so they are lit from behind), everything seemed dull and muted.

蕭千惠: 哈佛的學生都可以免費帶一個人進場,很幸運有個在哈佛讀書的朋友可以帶我入場。自然歷史博物館的展品都是在三樓,跟Peabody museum 是連通的,Peabody museum 則是在一三四樓都有展品,但空間不大。裡面有非常多動物標本,很密的陳列在玻璃櫥窗內,看起來超級帥氣的。有超高的長頸鹿,也有超級巨大的恐龍,非常壯觀。
M G: Not that it needs more positive reviews, but great place to take kids of all ages (mine were 2, 4 and 6). Each got different things from the trip, and enjoyable for myself too!Notes: somewhat tight spaces at times, no food or drink inside (only lobby), and great gift shop!

Randall Cook: Surprisingly good natural history museum. I had been to the big one in New York City a month earlier, and this one holds its own against that giant museum. Great collection of taxidermy animals and insects, an even better collection of minerals (especially meteorites), but the star is the glass plants and flowers. Truly remarkable workmanship and realism. Definitely worth seeing, and it all fits on one large floor. So glad I went.

The museum pieces are nice and there is a wide range of them from tapestries and paintings to an original chapel and furniture. Definitely worth going to instead of or in addition to the MFA. There’s free admission on your birthday or if your name is Isabella.
Lydia Hephzibah: Absolutely stunning! I've been desperate to visit this museum ever since I saw photos of the interior courtyard and heard about the infamous $500,000,000 art heist. Definitely buy tickets in advance - when I visited at 10am, the next availability was 2pm so I had to entertain myself elsewhere for a few hours.The museum is very grand and I could've stayed staring at the courtyard for hours. So beautiful and picturesque!

Ana Barreda: El Freedom Trail 🖍️ (Camino de la Libertad, en español) es una ruta de 4km 🚶‍♀️ que pasa por 16 lugares significativos en la historia 🏚️ de EEUU 🇺🇸El USS Constitution ⚓ es la penúltima parada de esta ruta (parada 15). Se trata del barco de guerra más antiguo de Estados Unidos 😌. En 1794, tras la Independencia, se autorizó la creación de 6 fragatas que iban a convertirse en el inicio de la Marina de los Estados Unidos y el USS Constitution es una de ellas👏Recomendadisima la visita a esta fragata😃. Podrás ver el camarote del capitán🧑‍✈️, de mandos intermedios y cómo dormía el resto de la tripulación. El lugar dónde comian. Cañones 💣 a tamaño real. La "tecnología" que utilizaban para achicar el agua 🌊 en caso de necesidad...Si estás recorriendo Boston 🏙️ siguiendo el freedom trail, merece la pena completarlo a pesar de que las dos últimas paradas quedan más alejadas. Nos gustó mucho 🤩💰 La entrada es gratuita 💰👬👬 Nosotros fuimos un miércoles por la tarde y no había cola. Al llegar pasamos el control de seguridad y visitamos la fragata sin esperas
Olivier David: Un magnifique voilier de guerre datant de la fin du 18 ème !
Paul Harris: Great museum showing some of the incredible history of the USS Constitution and the United States Navy.

Paul Mach: Looks like a great exhibit.Closed on veterans day. Couldn't find any information about it. So quite disappointed. Homepage should update their opening times.
Tom K Miceman: This museum/hall ..is a lost treasure trove of history. Go upstairs to see the artifacts.An excellent exhibit in the articles of our historic revolution.
Ed Vena: Very cool spot though somewhat disorganized in what they're showing and explaining who they are
Robert Kuivinen: If you know, you know.
Kelly Pereyra: So much cool history
Ken Civitello: Very interesting. See if they have an elevator otherwise many stairs to climb.
Judy Bloom: My husband toured the facility. I sat down. I could see military uniforms, rifles from 1700's. My husband said oldest rifle he saw was 50 lbs. How did they do it. Those men way back must have been mighty strong. There were many swords on display. Pictures of former generals. This area located 4th floor Faneuill. Take elevator up.
Abby Yingling: We almost skipped this in our visit to Fanueil Hall! Be sure you don't! It was so interesting!
Carrie Sowiak: Very interesting and informative! Great display of various artifacts, including military hats, uniforms, weapons, etc
Deogratias Mulishi: Wonderful
V B (VB): There is a lot of history and really interesting selection of historical items to view. The only negative here was that there did not seem to be any chronology. Things seemed tucked anywhere instead of in order of history. Still, definitely worth the hike up the stairs!
Kevin Freimarck: Cool place if you like history of wars and education of slavery in Boston.
Jay Fletcher: Such a neat and quiet display of historical military artifacts. Great items!
Jerry Morris Jr: Confusing and no one was available to explain

Mykeal Hancock: Very interesting Museum in the top of Faneuil Hall next to Quincy Market. They have tons military memorabilia ranging from what looked to be from the first Gulf War to the Revolutionary War. There's also tons of history and memorabilia about the artillery company itself. Very interesting museum if you were in the area and they are open.
Janelle R: If you like military history and artifacts, this is the place to go. Guns and artifacts from prior wars as well as paintings, pictures, and stories to go along with them.

Trucks, ladders, water jets... they have a real good walkthrough on safety and fire suppression throughout the years.
