2025 Best Kid-Friendly Museum

Museum of Science

Looking for a smart way to keep them busy—
sans screens—on a rainy day? Head to this
museum, which has nailed the formula
for making science insanely fun for kids.
Nowhere else can your kiddo stand in the
shadow of a triceratops skeleton, engage in
an interactive exhibit that transports them
to the North Pole, enjoy story time with a
live animal guest, and watch a 4-D movie
in one place. We’re particularly big fans of
the “Science in the Park” playground for
its highly interactive equipment and ageappropriate
physics lessons.
