I remember most of all the collection of stones. Extremely beautiful. I didn’t find how to buy a ticket online, most likely this function is not available. Ticket for adults - $15, kids from 3 to 18 - $10, up to 3 years - free.

This is part of a bundle for entry into the Harvard museums. Takes about 35 minutes to go through- absolutely no parking on site. The first floor has some nice interactive moments for kids, but the upper levels do not (more adult audience).

They have a really interesting array of artifacts from an unexpectedly broad and complete world view of history. This is accessible through the Harvard Museum of Natural history and both combined are the perfect size to fit in an afternoon.

Amazing! They pack so much into a small museum. Loved every square inch of it. :) TIP: If you have a similar museum membership in another major city, they might offer free reciprocal admission. Double check the website and bring proof of membership.

Kid friendly for young kids? Hands on activities?

The museum frequently has hands-on activities for kids during school vacation weeks. Our partner museum, Harvard Museum of Natural History, is connected to us on the third floor, and it has the Climate Change, Story Time, gems, minerals, and animals. Another partner museum is across the street (6 Divinity Ave.); Harvard Semitic Museum is always free and has drop-in hands-on DIY activities for kids during the summer (this year through August 25).
