Boston knows a thing or two about science, according to USA Today readers.

USA Today revealed its list of 10 best science museums in North America on Friday, as voted on by readers, and Boston’s Museum of Science ranked No. 10.

The No. 1 science museum in North America is the Center of Science and Industry in Columbus, Ohio, according to the publication.

Here’s what USA Today wrote about the Museum of Science:

“Inside the halls of the Museum of Science in Boston, curious visitors can stroll through a butterfly garden, learn about the 300 species of birds found in New England, harness the power of wind turbines, gaze at 65-million-year-old dinosaur fossils, explore how light moves through the cosmos or dive into the science of nanotechnology.”
