Boston Children's Museum, {CATEGORY}

As you approach the Children's Museum, look for the 40-foot-high red-and-white milk bottle out front - and for children and their chronological-adult companions racing each other to the entrance. The under-11 set is the target audience for this delightful museum, but it appeals to the little kid in everyone. As they explore, beginning in the glass-enclosed lobby, young visitors can stick with their adults or wander on their own, learning, doing, and role-playing. A three-story-high climbing structure, the New Balance Climb, incorporates motor skills and problem-solving. Other favorite hands-on exhibits include physical experiments (such as creating giant soap bubbles) in Science Playground and get creative with Johnny's Workbench, a souped-up version of puttering in the garage. You can explore Boston Black, which celebrates Boston's black history and culture, and the Japanese House, a 2-story replica residence from Kyoto, one of Boston's sister cities. Children under 4 and their caregivers have a special room, Playspace, that's packed with toys and activities. The museum, a converted wool warehouse, is a certified green building right down to the toilets, visit the website to learn more. Check ahead for information about traveling exhibitions and special programs. And be sure to check out the excellent gift shop (as if you have a choice).
