Flower Ideas For My Wedding

Boston has a long history of scientific achievement, so it comes as no surprise to find that it is also home to lots of specialist museums for science and nature fans, and a few great aquariums and zoos to boot. If finding out about the world, and the universe, that surrounds us is something that appeals to you, then you might want to visit of few of these fine Boston establishments:

Garden in the Woods: Botany buffs will want to make a bee line for Boston's Garden in the Woods, which is the headquarters and botanic garden of the New England Wild Flower Society. Over fifteen hundred different plant species are spread across a massive forty five acre garden, with a wide selection of unusual plants in their New England Garden of Rare and Endangered Plants.

Franklin Park Zoo: This 72-acre mega-zoo features more than 200 different species of animals, including all the usual animals you'd expect to see in a large zoo such as giraffes, gorillas, lions and camels along with more exotic beasts such as tapirs and tree kangaroos. Part of the Zoo New England network, the Franklin Park Zoo is divided up into several themed sections, including the Outback Trail, Giraffe Savannah, Bird's World, Tiger Tales, Tropical Forest, Kalahari Kingdom, Franklin Farm, Serengeti Crossing and Butterfly Landing.

Harvard Museum of Natural History: Anyone with an interest in nature will be knocked out by this stunning museum, which is packed with stunning exhibits, including meteorites, gemstones, flowers, birds and plants. In particular, their butterfly collection has to be seen to be believed, while those with a hankering for something a little more prehistoric might want to check out the 1,600-pound amethyst geode or the 42-foot-long Kronosaurus, a giant marine reptile from the time when dinosaurs ruled the earth.

Museum of Science: The Boston museum of science can boast a planetarium, a giant IMAX screen, and over six hundred interactive exhibits that are enjoyable for growing brains of any vintage, so whether you're a science fan or you're just on holiday with one, you'll find something to keep you amused.

MIT Museum: If science is your thing, then you should make a point of visiting the MIT museum next time you're in Boston, which can boast some stunning displays and interactive exhibits on subjects such as robotics, architecture, engineering, holography, oceanography and almost anything else you that you can think on a scientific tip.

New England Aquarium: Fans of marine life will find themselves in their element at the New England Aquarium, with more than 70 exhibits including jellyfish, sea turtles, penguins, seals, a coral reef and much more besides. There are opportunities to go whale-watching along the waterfront, or get up close and personal with smaller marine life like starfish at the tide pool exhibit.
