The Local Scene: Cambridge & Harvard Square
There is a unique charm to Harvard Square that you can experience through our front doors. It is known for its bookstores, the Ivy League lifestyle, sidewalk cafes, and eclectic shops. It's all just steps away, so pick your pleasure. MIT's funky architecture and Harvard University's soaring spires at one end, the Charles River flowing alongside the tree-lined bank, all surround you with inspired experiences in all directions.
Museum Of Science
Experience a 65-million-year-old Triceratops fossil up close, witness an indoor lightning storm at the Theatre of Electricity, walk among butterflies, or travel inside the human body! Visit the Charles Hayden Planetarium or the Mugar Omni Theater, home to New England's only IMAX® Dome, to explore the galaxies or see an immersive and inspiring film. This museum has something for everyone, including 700 interactive exhibits, exciting exhibitions, daily presentations, hands-on activities, and live animals!
New England Aquarium
Experience 360-degree views of the spectacular four-story Caribbean coral reef filled with sea turtles, sharks, moray eels, and tropical fish before beginning your journey with the Aquarium's charming penguin colony. Learn about the vital role that coral reefs play in the lives of many ocean animals by meeting the colorful residents of an Indo-Pacific coral reef. Our blue planet will be explored without leaving downtown Boston, from jellyfish to sea lions. At the Simons IMAX® Theatre, you can also watch a movie on New England's biggest screen.
