This is a small museum and a high price tag, so I was skeptical. But the actors are excellent, seeing the ship and learning about the history is interesting, and the visual effects are first rate. Definitely recommend.

Great activity for children and adults alike. The personnel are very convincing in their roles and provide a good historical overview. Definitely a must do activity when you are in Boston.

The admission fee is about $30/person, and the whole experience does not worth it. You would have a chance to dump the "tea" from the ship. Before coming, I expected I would see the "real tea" or something similar. The real experience was just dumping some regular boxes, which look like a pillow at my house. The lower level of the ship smelled weird, but that can be understood as it was a rainy day. However, the museum does have some interesting items from the Boston Tea Party, such as a tea container from the event. One short movie about the battle of Lexington and the midnight ride of Paul Revere is also included in the experience. Keep in mind that photos are prohibited for most of the parts.
