The Boston Children’s Museum is filled with hands-on interactive exhibits and activities that entertain kids while they learn about the world around them.  But what does that really mean?  Here are three concrete reasons why kids love this museum – and why you should visit it when you’re in Boston:

1.  Fascinating exhibits for all ages.  Almost as soon as you walk into the museum, you’ll see the “New Balance Climb” – a gigantic 3-story high maze of tunnels, platforms, ledges, tubes, and chutes, made child-safe with lots of netting.  Kids from about 3 to 10 love to spend hours climbing through it and perfecting their balancing skills.

But that’s only the beginning.  Junior builders can make all kinds of things at “Johnny’s Workbench,” a construction area filled with real tools and supplies generously donated by Home Depot.  Over in the “Science Playground,” younger children explore the world of bubbles while their parents relax and snap photos of the iridescent spheres floating through the air.  Slightly older children test what happens when they drop golf balls into cylinders and tracks – not realizing that they’d demonstrating concepts such as momentum and velocity that they’ll encounter later in science classes at school.

Even the youngest museum goers – infants and toddlers – will find an exhibit area just for them where they can safely work on their crawling skills and enjoy the movements of a water bed.

2.  Special programs.  At “KidStage,” the museum’s performance area, professional actors and museum staff stage performances with music, dancing, and comedy.  Best of all, kids in the audience get to participate and experience being on stage themselves.  Lots of other special programs are also hosted here, so you never know what you’ll find to enjoy.

3.  The Boston Children’s Museum store.  In addition to offering a big array of reasonably priced games, puzzles, science kits, and books, the museum store has an extremely popular “recycling” center.  Area businesses donate scraps – everything from pieces of fabric, paper, and plastics to bits of wood, twine, and other building supplies.  The selection changes constantly, which is part of the fun as you find treasures for your next art and craft projects.  You fill up a bag and pay by the pound.

The Boston Children’s Museum is open 363 days a year, and is located in the South Boston Waterfront area, a short 5-10 minute walk from Boston’s South Station and downtown Financial District.  Best for children up to about 10 year old.

There are a lot of ways to get traffic from Google and they all involve a lot of work and requires some skills. You don’t need to have any SEO skills to get free traffic from Google maps. It is also a great way to show your selves or the product you are promoting to list it properly with Google maps. Google have three kind of maps on the first page. They have a ten box, ten listings on the map, a three box and even a one box (if you get this one you are dominating your niche). If you have a business in a bigger city in the US you can literally have hundreds and even thousand’s of visitor’s every day. There are also ways to do this without having a physical business present but we will go deeper in to this subject in our upcoming e-book to our subscribers.

So here is the drill:

* The first you thing you do is to create a Google account or a Gmail account.

* Add a new listing in your “maps” tab once you are logged in to “Google local business center”. Here you need to fill in as much as you can, important. Upload pictures, add videos if you have. As much as you have, but remember to keep it relevant to your business.

* It is an advantage if you have your own website.

* As category’s choose keywords relevant to your business. So if you for instance are promoting “weather cleanser”, use “water cleanse” and “cleanse water” in the categories.

* You need an actual phone number to verify your listing and if you don’t have a physical business in your city don’t worry. You can get a phone number from a many different sources but we prefer skype and Vumber. With skype you can receive calls directly on your computer. You also wanna fill in relevant information under “additional information”.

* Then press “continue” you will be asked how to verify and if you use phone Google will call you right away to give you a verify code. Once this is done you are all set – so far.

* Google will cross reference your listing with a number of other additional listings, so you do wanna list your business with a number of other sites. Here are a list of where I list our business (this is if you have a business in the US, if you don’t use similar sites where you are located):

superpages.com
listings.yellowpages.com
infousa.com
localeze.com
mapreporter-test.navteq.com
biz.yelp.com
citysearch.com
insiderpages.com
local.yahoo.com

It will take from 30-60 days before your listing are accepted at some of these sites so it won’t make you a millionaire tomorrow, but this small effort can give you some extra free organic traffic from Google maps.
