For the Traveling Family, there’s Boston Children's Museum, one of the best in the country. If you’re of the scientific mind, be sure to visit the Museum of Science, which features over 600 exhibits. For the naturalist, the Harvard Museum of Natural History has over 21 million specimens for you to examine. And of course, there is the Museum of Fine Arts, the cutting edge Institute of Contemporary Art, the Boston Opera, the Boston Ballet and so much more.
