The Children's Museum of Portsmouth NH is a great day trip for those who live in the Boston area. 

The museum is in an old house and has many intimate exhibits, great for smaller children.  Our favorites were the Yellow Submarine, Post Office, and Space Shuttle.

Downtown Portsmouth has some great, kid-friendly places to eat too - so make it a fun day trip. [And stop at the Kittery Outlets [and the Hanna Outlet] on your way home!]

The Children's Fun Pass includes a coupon for a free kid's admission with purchase of an adult's admission.  If you are a member of the Children's Museum of Boston, simply show your card and you will get free admission as a part of the ASTC Travel Passport Program.

No, the museum isn't in Portsmouth anymore. It is in Dover and its great. We visited Labor Day weekend and had a great time. A few of the exhibit weren't finished but I believe they are now and we plan to visit New Years Eve day. Its great in warmer weather because there's a playground outside near the back that you can bring a picnic and the kids can use the playground.

The Children's Museum is NO LONGER in Portsmouth; it has moved to Dover, NH. Haven't been yet, but I'm sure it's even better than before as they moved to a larger building...

I agree! This museum is fun - a little hot inside in the summer :) My girls love the "cafe" upstairs...they spend hours preparing "meals" for me!
