Interesting and fun with lots to keep all ages involved. Tea shop food was lovely but the tables were very sticky and this made one feel unsure of the hygiene.

Wow! The Boston Tea Party Museum surpassed my expectations! Hannah Sterns & everyone had great character! The tour was so fun & we learned so much! They had really neat items that were from the Boston Tea Party. It was incredible! Something that Is very important-when you get your tickets- you still NEED to go there to get your tour time. It doesn't work automatically. The Tea room was outstanding! The scones were perfect. The Tea was so good that I Even bought it at the gift shop. Great workers at the gift shop. They are super helpful there. You will love it.

Seriously fun! They did a great job of presenting the history of the boston tea party in an enjoyable way. Tours seemed to begin every half hour. You check in at the front if they building and they scan your Viator code. From there they tell you the next available your times and tell you where to meet your guide. Everyone gets to throw the tea into the bay if they want to. The experience was exactly 1 hour long and ends at the entrance to the gift shop which has a lot of merchandise. Not included in the tour is the tea room. Inside you order at a register and then bring a number card to your table. Everything arrrives individually wrapped in plastic The scones were very good but the sandwiches were nothing special, I’d pass on a full lunch there and plan on tea & scones as a snack. The staff was in the tea room were very friendly & helpful and there is a nice clean bathroom inside.
