This is the site of the Boston Tea Party, and actors in period costume walk you thru the history and events leading up to the Tea Party itself. You get to participate in the historical reenactment and can actually throw a case of tea into the river. Great fun, highly recommended. A bit pricey so look for discount coupons before you go.

You are one of them....them Boston rebels. Your identity is given to you and you are now part of history. Even if its just for a couple of hours you learn about your person and what his or her role was. Its a fun way to be part of history.

It was a cold, rainy, dreary day in April when we arrived a little early for the "show." We were hungry so we went to the Abagail Adams Tea Room for some warming coffee and cookies and scones. Nice place. Good scones. Then it was time for the show. As others have said, you go into a room of a meeting house and listen to them talk of the ships in the harbor and the taxes expected. Then you board the ship and a colonist inspires you to aid them in throwing the tea overboard. (But you have to pull it back in too!). I thought we were done after that but we were taken through two more displays to cover more of the history of this time. We thoroughly enjoyed the immersion process and felt like hearing this information repeated throughout many of the sites we visited helped us put events in order for us. We also appreciated more historical facts instead of the information we have grown old with and assumed was factual. It was well worth the cost of admission. Glad we did this.
