Do your kids like exotic animals? Want to see a bunch of whale skeletons suspended in mid-air? How about collections of every imaginable beetle, butterfly, and moth? Well, the Harvard Museum of Natural History may be just what you need. And Sundays are FREE for Massachusetts residents if you arrive between 9am and noon.

This interactive map provides a preview of some of the cool exhibits that will have animal-enthusiastic toddlers and preschoolers darting from case to case in wonder at the variety of animals exhibited. Older kids and adults will find the minerals, gems, crystals and bugs fascinating.

On a Sunday morning, this an easy drive of about 30-40 minutes from Westwood. See the website for directions and consider using the parking garage at 52 Oxford St. The website describes how you can purchase a $5 parking pass online or you can take your chances with on-street parking.
