Luggage storage at the Museum of Science

Lots of visitors to the Museum of Science arrive by subway or train and have time to spare before heading inside, often with a bag still in tow.

The Esplanade and Long Wharf sit close by as places to wander, though neither offers storage of its own. Lockers are available for visitors at the Museum of Science in Boston for a small fee. The Exhibit Halls at the Museum of Science are open daily from 9:00 am to 5:00 pm.

Nearby venues and their bag policies

TD Garden is a major sports and entertainment arena about a 15-minute walk from the museum, home of the Boston Bruins and Boston Celtics. It strongly discourages guests from bringing bags to events, and any bag — including clear ones — must not exceed 6 in x 4 in x 1.5 in. Guests with non-compliant bags can check them at the Event Bag Check on Level 1 in North Station for $15, which opens two hours before an event and stays open until one hour after.

The Esplanade is a historic park along the Charles River with an entrance near the Museum of Science. Faneuil Hall has limited public facilities, so visitors are advised to bring everything they need with them, and it's reachable via State Street, Government Center, or Park Street stations, all within a 15-minute walk.

Long Wharf is a historic pier that serves as a marine transit hub for ferries and sightseeing boats, with waterfront dining and harbor views. Its closest train station is Aquarium on the MBTA Blue Line, directly adjacent to the wharf.

TD Garden is served by MBTA North Station, with the TD Garden entrance leading directly into North Station; guests can enter at the East or West entrance after taking the subway to North Station.
