For Kids

Below are just a few of our favorite local attractions for kids. Young children will love touching the rays and watching the seals and sea turtles swim at the Maritime Aquarium. They'll also get a kick out of watching movies on the Aquarium's six story Imax screen. At the hands-on Stepping Stones Museum for Children, kids can try to catch fog in their hands, race two boats down the streambed, build a bug and meet virtual scientists.
