Best Science Museum Lowell Near Me

Brendan Donoghue: This is a very small museum, but is a little jewel hidden in lowell. Its completely volunteer run, and servers as a satellite to the Kennebunk Maine museum as well as an information center about the trolleys they run during the warmer weather. The majority of the museum is informational, with a few artifacts and a number of interatbule exhibits geared to kids. The second floor is intended for children, and is very cute. Some of the exhibits are a bit dated, but it would have been a blast as small kid interested in trains and trolleys.As a heads up, its cash only or eventbirght ticket.Also, if you are interested in driving a trolly, they offer course at the Kennebunk museum. ask the volunteer at the desk about it!

Tina Filardo: That was an amazing museum! My toddler children loved it and I learned a lot too. There was a streetcar ride to the museum down the street that was free. It was delightful. The volunteers/workers were informative and very welcoming. The second floor of the museum was dedicated to kids and it delivered. Street parking was easy to find Saturday morning. It was 2 hour parking which wasn’t an issue. This is definitely worth visiting. Big value in $3 for adults.

Walter Oviedo: the areas that are around the emblematic places of the city, are in complete disarray. the canals that run through the center of the city. it has too much waste. lowell business area. it lets us see the deterioration of the buildings, dirty and faded showcases. abandoned and dirty business premises.

Rose Davis: It was not easy to find this museum, you have to look around for the sign upstairs. The museum itself is situated in the Science block of Harvard University. It is not big, just one room which is full with all kind of inventions from different times. On the second floor there is another room, but there is nothing to see there. The entrance to the museum is always free, and it is really great.

Lionel Spiro: The H Scientific Museum is a hidden treasure. It is absolutely worth visiting.It is easy to get to, free and fairly small. A half hour might be an average visit, though one can take a few hours getting in to some of the substantive exhibits. The Science Center at Harbard also has a great and inexpensive dining place.

Michelle Furlong: Absolutely incredible collection of ancient mechanisms and artifacts! Beautiful array of objects for reference. My partner and I took lots of photos for a project we're working on. This was way better than any Google or Pinterest search we could've done looking for similar items 🌟
