I visited this in October of last year and what fun. It is not only a tour of the ship, but there is a short documentation about the movement and the guided tour is great. I thought it may be geared toward children, but my group was a majority of adults and it was enjoyed by all. They also have an awesome Gift Shoppe!

Our family (2 adults, 9 year old, 12 year old) had a terrific time at this experience. It was really, really well done. You moved between diddeeent types of experiences - from being part of a town hall meeting, to touring the boat and throwing over tea bales, to watching digital experiences and more. It's very well done and easily helps all understand the sequences of events and importance of this moment in history. I'm 42, learned a lot, and finally now understand how all of these moments in history are intimately connected. Our kids very much enjoyed it as well. Go here first during your time in Boston and then all the stops on the feeedom trail have much more context for the non-history geeks in the group. Well done to all the staff and educators!
