Museum of Science Store Like the museum itself, its store has great appeal for school-aged kids and adults. Ask for "Look What's in Store," a guide to choosing developmentally appropriate toys, games, and books for children. MUSEUM OF SCIENCE STORE Location: Science Park, Boston Phone: 617-589-0488 Hours: Sun.-Thurs., 10 a.m.-8:30 p.m.; Fri.-Sat., 10 a.m.-9:30 p.m. Get directions High end: The Jumbo Galileo Thermometer, a 5-foot-long art piece of a temperature-taker with floating balls marking the degrees. $899.95. Low end: Kitchen implements like carrot peelers made of plastic with funky but utilitarian designs in bright colors. $6.95. You probably won't find it anywhere else: A video package comprising "Everest," David Breshears' IMAX film that is still selling out at the museum's Omni Theater, and "The Making of Everest". Sure, "Everest" won't look quite the same on your TV screen, but the visuals are spectacular at any size, as is the drama. $39.95. Making fun out of a big drag: Commuters and Boston residents harried by the Central Artery project might forget how much little kids love big machines. The museum, which has a Big Dig exhibit, offers plenty of products to appeal to the construction-minded, like a plastic construction set complete with construction workers and machines, for $35. For collectors: dye-cast construction vehicles, replicas of the heavy machinery made by the likes of Caterpillar and Volvo, $20-$90.
