What to expect

The Boston Children's Museum is a great place for kids to learn and have fun. It features a variety of interactive exhibits, including a Japanese House, which is an authentic two-story silk merchant's home from Kyoto, Japan. The house was transported piece by piece from Kyoto and reconstructed in Boston by Japanese carpenters. Families can explore every corner of the fully-equipped home and learn about Japanese family life, customs, ceremonies, art, architecture, and seasonal events. The museum also contains many activities meant to both amuse and educate young children
