Get a smock and get ready to create a work of art! The Children's Museum Boston invites you to The Art Studio, a fun, messy, hands-on activity space where kids and families make art together. The studio is located on the third floor of the museum.
About the Museum:
Located right across the Fort Point Channel bridge, Boston Childrens Museum offers a broad selection for kids of all ages, with a healthy emphasis of 'hands on' exhibits, the museum aims to please even its smallest guests.
The wonderful 'Playspace,' just for toddlers and pre-schoolers, has a variety of safe, developmental activities, and the adjoining Parent Resource Room provides a quiet place for nursing or just reading a book to your little one. Kids 3 to 8 will surely gravitate toward the construction zone and the two-story climbing maze.
The creative 'Build It!' exhibit has giant Lego blocks for your imaginative construction engineer and the 'Giant's Desk Top' exhibit is perfect for hide-and-seek among oversized everyday objects like a chair-size coffee cup and a desk-size telephone.
The Children's Museum also offers an ongoing storytime on Mondays & Thursdays at 10:30am. For ages 0-3. Storytime is free with museum admission. Toddlers are read enchanting tales that stir the imagination at the Smith Family PlaySpace.
Some other great exhibits include:
AIRplay
Alice's Wonderland
Boats Afloat
Climbing The Walls
Kitchen Science Experiments
