TG03 Boston Children's Museum Is for Kids...and Other People Too
05/15/2008, 10:00 AM - 12:30 PM


Walking Tour

The kids are ready. Are you? Explore Children's Wharf, including the Boston Children's Museum in Boston's historic Fort Point District. Conceived to transform the existing 19th-century warehouse structure into a vibrant, new look for the museum, the newly expanded building highlights the visitor experience inside and out to take full advantage of the dramatic waterfront site. Key features include a focus on the environment, green roof, connection to the waterfront, innovative material use, three-story climber, and interactive exhibits. Emily Grandstaff-Rice, AIA, with Cambridge Seven Associates, will lead this tour with both kids and adults in mind. Lunch is included.
