A well presented, enjoyable account of the Boston Tea party that's a bit more interactive than the usual museum. You get to explore the replica ships and throw the tea chests overboard before being guided through the museum area. Takes about 90 minutes in total and there's a discount if you're doing the hop-on, hop-off trolley tour.

I'm a flight attendant, and usually have very limited time to visit the sites where I layover. I decided on visiting the Boston Tea Party Ships and Museum recently, and am so glad I did. The actors were fantastic, and worked extremely hard making this a great interactive experience. A great job is done sticking to the accuracy and historical content. The use of technology during the inside portion of the experience was excellent. I highly, highly recommend visiting this attraction when in Boston.

Enjoyed more than I had expected, each guest was given a card with an identity of someone who participated in the Boston Tea Party. This was fun, it really gave you insight into the occupations of the people of that time period. Given a feather to wear in your hair to pose as an Indian dumping the tea into the harbor. Very enjoyable and educational.
