Nice fun lively experience great for children. Would have been nice if there had been more artefacts, but it was good. The costumes were excellent and it was interactive. Gift shop has some lovely things.

We thought we were going to hear a bit about the tea party and throw some tea, but there was sooo much more! The characters were amazing, the videos were riveting, the tea and scones were delicious.

So glad we did this! I tried to buy tickets online but it said it was sold out. We decided to try our luck in person and there was no trouble doing the walk up option- so don’t let that deter you- I got tickets and 15 minutes later we were on the tour. It’s a wonderful way to ground and immerse yourself in history- the actors are fun and they set the scene well. Only suggestion would be for them to hand out the identity cards with tickets so you don’t have to wait while they do that . It also was unclear that there was more tour after the ship- so setting the stage upfront would be good. Overall, well worth it and a great way to experience history! PS Abigail’s Tea room attached to this is worth a stop as well
