Docked alongside a 19th Century recreated working waterfront seaport village, three tall ships beckon to be explored. Among them - the last wooden whaleship the world - the Charles W.

Mystic Seaport is a great place to spend at least 4 hours.(That would be about $6 an hour) There are probably 2 dozens historic buildings and 3 or 4 boats that are listed on the National Register of Historic Places. There is an active shipyard that you can actually walk through....while they are working! The Liberty boat tour is $5 well spent. It is a 25 minute tour of the museum from the river side.

We're so glad you enjoyed your time at our museum! The Liberty boat tour is certainly a must-do for all visitors for a great overview of the museum. Thanks for sharing your kind words, and we hope to see you back again soon!

Our 12 year old enjoyed the lawn games on Memorial Day weekend. We made a wooden boat - very fun. Took the boat ride and learned about the boats along the shore. Found out the admission ticket is good for 7 days if you have your receipt. This isn’t posted any where that we saw but we are taking advantage of it to try the row boats and sail boats - free.

Well maintained whaleboats and ships of old. Plenty for kids and adults to learn about seafarers and oyster industry and shipyards and printing of old times and plenty. Kids play area was good.
