    Don't have directions, but don't forget that Digital offers an employee
    discount.  I think you have to get the tickets ahead of time.
910.2Free's even better. :-)POWDML::LBARRI'm going nuckin' futs!Thu Feb 23 1995 11:254
    If you're from Fitchburg, the Fitchburg childrens library has a free
    pass for a family of 4 that you can use.

    Call them for directions and hours.
    
    I know how to get them but I can't explain to you!

    We've been to the Children's museum a couple of times (with company,
    before Andy was born, so we're due for another visit!).  Each time, 
    we ended up using public transportation...  You might find it easiest
    (and probably cheaper than parking) to get as far as a T stop, and take 
    a train, trolly, or taxi.

    The Children's Museum is on Congress Street, off Rt 93 South. There are
    parking lots across the street (I believe we paid to park).
    
    Check your local public library - if it is like the Worcester MA
    library, they have a free pass, which can be taken out for a day, and
    allows up to 4 people to go to the Children's Museum for $1 each. Quite
    a savings over the regular pricy admission.
    
    Also - go when the museum opens - by 11:30 it's jammed.

    Tickets purchased through DEC usually include directions to the museum.
    
    Have Fun!
    
910.8Children's MuseumOBSESS::COUGHLINKathy Coughlin-HorvathTue Mar 07 1995 12:3810
    I just went last week - courtesy of a library pass.  The museum opens
    at 10 which was when we arrived.  It was quite crowded by then and by
    the time we left at noon is was crazy. We went on Sunday and the free
    curb parking was gone when we got there. The nearby lots were $6.  
    
    The museum gives recorded directions if you call.  It is the Congress
    Street or South Station exit off South East Expressway. On Congress
    Street go over bridge and it is right there on the left.

910.9for a 5-year-old?BRAT::JANEBSee it happen => Make it happenFri Jul 28 1995 10:4412
    Which is likely to be more fun for a 5 year old: the Children's Museum
    or the Science Museum, in Boston?
    
    My friend is bringing her 5 year old to Boston for one day and I
    recommended the Children's Museum over the Science Museum - now I'm
    having second thoughts.
    
    What is your experience?
    
    Thanks,

They are both great fun, so don't worry about it.

My 5 year old loves the Museum of Science.  You know, they have a discovery room 
for kids near the planetarium and omni theater, too.  And she loves the
Children's Discovery and Science Discovery Museums in Acton.  We haven't been
to the Children's Museum in Boston for a long time, so I can't compare.  But
we bought memberships last year in the Discovery Museum and Museum of Science
and the New England Aquarim, and our daughter has loved going to all of them
repeatedly.
