Boston Children's Museum

　　   At the end of Congress Street Bridge, next to the Pier Museum, there is a giant 40-meter-tall milk bottle that has become an iconic symbol of Boston. Donated to the Children's Museum in 1977, this bottle now serves as an outdoor snack stand. Behind it stands one of the largest children’s museums in the country. With exhibits spread across four floors, it caters to children of all ages — from toddlers to pre-teens and older kids. Most exhibits are hands-on, and all offer an engaging learning experience. The museum features a historic Japanese silk merchant’s house, relocated authentically from Kyoto; an exhibition on multiculturalism, the first of its kind; a space called “Grandma’s Attic 0” where children can try on various vintage clothing items; as well as many special exhibitions, activities, and performances.
