Marathon runners get free admission to the Mapparium® globe in the How Do You See the World?® experience Friday, April 18 and Saturday, April 19, when you show your bib.

Visiting with a runner?

General admission to the Mapparium globe is only $6 and kids under 18 are always free.

All other exhibits are free for all.

Interactive exhibits in the How Do You See the World?® experience explore the world through a lens of hope, progress, and generosity.

Mapparium® globe (ticketed): Walk into a three-story, stained glass globe that shows the world as it was in 1935—and see the progress through a narrated, light and sound presentation.

Our World: Mapping Progress (free): Read modern-day news stories of humanity's advancement from The Christian Science Monitor.

Christian Science and Mary Baker Eddy (free): Learn about the remarkable life of Mary Baker Eddy (1821-1910), who discovered and founded Christian Science and its global church.

Visiting with children?

The How Do You See the World?® experience offers an Explorer’s Activity Book just for kids.

You can also request the Big Blue Earth® program, a shorter, three-minute light and sound presentation in the Mapparium® globe.

Please note that we will be closed Easter Sunday, April 20, and Patriots’ Day, April 21.
