OK, I cant spell. Joe your kids would love the museum. I remember there was a gravity fed machine measuring kinetic energy that was astounding. If you go ask to go behind the scenes to the animal room. In the early days of Mass. Herp Society(LONGGG before there was a NE Herp society-1975, I was 9)they had meetings in the basement. There were guest lecturers from all over the world as the museum is right down the street from Harvard U..Hundreds attended! I'd get a ride in every month from my mom and was rubbing elbows with the guys who wrote the books. There would be all kinds of reptiles for sale because everything was legal. Everyone that had snakes HAD to go there, it was the only place in the state where you could get frozen rodents! I remember Kevin McCurley as the pretentious 15 yr old who had "everything" even at that age! Man, he always had nice stuff. I was the poor kid who would save my paper route money to buy the $2 chinese water snake with the transparent belly. You could see the fish it ate inside! LMAO. The things you remember.
