Make sure you stow away anything that makes a visible light, as it will appear on the dome and ruin the experience for everyone.
A must-do activity if at the Museum of Science. Don't sit too close to the front and instead shoot to be near the middle of this circular room. Fantastic experience and great narration as well .
As you walk out of the planetarium , head towards the Omni theater and look right to see a breathtaking mural of the Milky Way by the celebrated space artist , Chesley Bonestell.
Great presenters and comfortable seats .
Recommend watching the Explorer: The Universe !
Escape the summer heat with some daytime stars!
Radiohead experience was very cool.
Line starts forming about 30 minutes before showtime. But "front" seats aren't necessarily the best — plan accordingly!
I was honestly disappointed by this experience. I went to see The Sky Tonight and was not impressed by the presentation. The man speaking made several large mistakes & pointed out the wrong things.
The last row of seats is the best for seeing the whole sky.
The shows are great
Terrific experience. Well worth it.
Don't forget to see one of there spectacular light shows
Amazing !!!
Sit in the outer most row of seats unless you like neck cramps.
Undiscovered worlds was great
There are no plants here
Arrive early on the weekend in order for your party to be able to sit together. - Eric O
Looks like an excellent place from which to watch the Boston Fireworks. - N P
Burritos are made fresh. If you calibrate your expectations to museum cafeteria, the options are fairly good and healthy. - Joel Abrams
An all time favorite of the Science Museum! You just can't skip it! :D - Danielle Martin
theres no MOS Discovery Center here in lexington i should know - Martin Ong
Go up to the second floor to get a seat and to be a bit closer to the lightning show - Joseph Dineen
Food court is awesome, and you can't beat the location. Inexpensive shuttle to Kendall/MIT to explore even more! Great mid range shops and the bigger stores you're looking for like Sears and Best Buy. - Madeline Anderson
