We did the Ships and Museum, which was about an hour long program. It was extremely organized and it kept you moving from activity to activity so it felt very fast! It began with a town hall meeting, then we moved to the actual ship, over to the museum where they had many different kinds of videos. Everything was presented in a way that was very engaging and informative. All of the workers were in costume and in full character. They really made the whole experience so memorable! While we didn't have any, they had a tea room where you could taste a variety of teas! They also had a great variety of refreshments and snacks. Highly recommend this experience for anyone visiting Boston!

Very enlightening and interesting historical tour. The place reminded me a little of a Disney attraction, so it would be good for young kids. It probably could have been a little shorter with less time in the boat, since it was a reproduction. Totally different than visiting the USS Constitution. Regardless, the guides kept things moving along and when its over, you get dumped into the gift shop area. I bought a shirt. Probably one of the better overall gift shops with reasonable prices... unlike the one in my next review!

The whole experience was incredible! The museum had a short film that was very informative. The museum items on display were beautiful. The story behind the tea box on display … we’ll visit to hear it ! The tour guide and staff are dressed for the time period. Super fun day ! One of the best gift shops in Boston.
