Museum of Science Offers Glimpse of Spring

This week in Boston was delightfully spring-like. But this weekend, it’s back to rain, wind, and cold (welcome to New England). If you’re craving a breath of sweet, spring air, then my suggestion is to visit the Museum of Science. In addition to over 600 interactive exhibits, the Museum also offers a Butterfly Garden, which is filled with colorful butterflies and exotic plants from around the world. This warm, tropical oasis overlooks the Charles River.
It’s the perfect way to escape the cold and learn all about butterflies, including the four stages of butterfly life (egg, caterpillar, chrysalid, and adult) and butterfly activities such as feeding, courting, and basking. Kids will love seeing these beautiful butterflies up close, and nature lovers will appreciate the intricate details that differentiate each species. Reservations are recommended.
