Free Museums near Boston To Visit with Kids
Submitted by Audrey Trieschman on
Get your family out to one of the free museums near Boston, in the city and around New England. Boston is home to some of the best museums, zoos, and theme parks in America, but many of these incredible experiences come at a steep cost. Here's a secret: many museums and attractions in Massachusetts are free for little kids, and in some cases, all kids. Mommy Poppins has set out to uncover these freebies almost 50 of them, in fact! So what are you waiting for? Start your free museum adventures, and check off the list as you go. And take advantage of the kid-friendly rates for The “T”. Kids under 12 ride for free with an adult!
If you're working your way through our Boston Kids' 100 Things to Do bucket list, you may want to coordinate with the cut-off ages below; some of the museums you can catch on their free admission days, but several other attractions really drive home the bittersweet point that you're only young once. Don't miss our Boston Free Fun Guide for even more ideas for creating special experiences for kids without breaking the bank.
