Great museum and re-enactment. Tour guides really participated and did a great job. Even adults lined up to toss the tea bales off the ship. Staff was very friendly and helpful. I’m slightly mobility limited and I was able to navigate the paths (only steps were at the end and an elevator was available. Very well done.
