At the Museum of Science, the health and safety of our staff, volunteers, and visitors is our number one priority. The Museum has developed a new set of routines and requirements to help ensure we do our part to stop the spread of COVID-19.

We can offer your group a reserved time to visit together or passes to be used individually or for smaller groups at your convenience. Review the information below for details and to see if your group qualifies. If you have any questions, contact us at communityaccess@mos.org or 617-723-2500.
