We spent a wonderful 90m visiting this attraction one Saturday afternoon. The way the story of the Boston Tea Party is played out is quite illuminating, we were all fascinated. The venue moves from a state room, through a tea clipper, onto a Wharf and via two dioramas with a small museum to boot. Very varied. Maybe a touch expensive, but given their costs probably not. Certainly worthwhile.

The guides in character costumes were entertaining and educational. Throwing the tea overboard and pretending we were colonists was a lot of fin. The museum presentations were well done. I would definitely recommend this easy tour.
