    "Compared to the science museums in New York and Washington, this science museum in Boston is a bit deserted and niche. The museum is built on the banks of the Charles River. The scenery is naturally nothing to say, and it is also very beautiful. This museum combines natural museum, science museum, planetarium equal to one, it can be said that Boston is very suitable for family and children to travel to the museum series. Here you can also see the research results displayed by major technology companies and top universities, and most of the exhibits are also interactive multimedia design. Each pavilion has students of all sizes and sizes. I feel that the theme content of the pavilion is still quite scientific and technological. As a science fair The tradition of the museum, how can the dinosaur model of the domineering support field be less, so the museum here must also arrange a wave. There are also two models of the Tyrannosaurus that are specially designed by roommates outside the museum. The pavilion is also interesting and fun, from black bears to beavers, showing the evolution of New England's ecosystem and geographical environment to check the biological impact. The museum also has a special interactive area where you can touch the fur of beavers in the Americas"
