I'm going to Boston, anything robotic to do there?

I'm being sent to Boston for a month long stint for work. During my off time I'd like to go exploring, any suggestions?

Visit the museum at MIT. Highly admin recommended.

Go sailing in the river, too.

Maybe you can see the "Mule" made by Boston Robotics if I remember correctly?

MIT museum was AMAZING!! I especially liked the 25 year old hexapod robot.

Now I'm off to Virginia for 3 weeks. It seems the robots at work are stopping me form building robots at home.  :-\

The museum of science is more geared toward children. I was pretty disappointed at how elementary it is. The MIT museum, however, does not disappoint!
