New England Aquarium

We also went to the New England Aquarium last weekend. To be honest it was ok but I wouldn't go back. It was overpriced, overcrowded and very small. I had read several reviews that said just that but we had a few members of our party who wanted to go anyway. There was a huge cylindrical tank in the middle of the building that was very cool, a penguin exhibit at the base of the tank, two seal tanks outside, a touch tank that was so crowded you couldn't get near it, and a bunch of standard tanks on the wall. If you find your self in Boston skip the aquarium and do one of the many other thing the city has to offer. It just isn't worth your hard earned money.

Boston Children's Museum

Saturday Kaden and I took a trip to the Boston Children's Museum with some friends. The place was AMAZING! If you get the opportunity to go, TAKE IT!

Here's Kaden looking out the window of the train on the way down.

The view across the river from the museum.

As soon as you walk in the door you see this three story high climbing structure.

He could have stayed in there all day

Daddy had a problem with this pic (he's a Rockies fan).

The blue man group exhibit

The air play room. He found it more interesting to stick his face over the vent.

Building something

My friends daughter driving the bobcat. Kaden was in a bad mood and wouldn't get in and let me take a picture.

This is part of "Boston Black". There is a grocery store, salon, barber shop, bus station and a few other thing.







There is a traditional Japanese house set inside the museum. Very cool!



Ummmm, I don't know what to say about this one.

Taking in the Boston skyline

How cute are they


The kids had a great time and the best part was it was free because we have a membership at our local museum but even without the membership it was reasonably priced. Here's the website for anyone interested.

The kids thought the train was the coolest thing. We took it right into south station which was within walking distance to everything we wanted to do. We'll definitely be heading back again soon!
