What To Expect

Mystic Seaport Museum

Immerse yourself in 19 acres of America's maritime history. Mystic Seaport encompasses a world-renowned preservation shipyard, a 19th-century seafaring village, and formal galleries where you'll find assorted permanent and rotating exhibits that explore America's relationship with the sea.

Charles W. Morgan

Visit the actively working preservation shipyard where ships and boats of all sizes are restored and maintained. 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. Morgan is considered the “crown jewel” of the Mystic Seaport collection, she has outlived all others of her kind. Climb aboard and go below decks to learn about the men and women who lived aboard!

We visited with our three daughters and six grandchildren from 6-18. There was something for everyone. Lots of outdoor space and exhibits for the young ones and very educational exhibits for the older ones. Homeport with its non-tech games like skittles entertained everyone. Absolute must for all families.

Great museum with plenty of options for everyone. The buildings are not all open at the same time (maybe an issue with having enough volunteers) but a majority of the boats are open (and there are many). The best way to see the boats is to pay the five dollars for the harbor boat tour…great guide and very knowledgeable. Huge gift shop but a tad overpriced. The daily entry fee entitles you to come back within 7 days which is good although at $23 it’s a bit expensive. Perhaps if all the exhibits were open it would feel more acceptable as a price point? In general if you like history and boating you can’t go wrong.

Thank you for your visit to our museum! In the summer, our museum will be in full swing with boat rides, children's activities, demonstration, events, and we have numerous new exhibits opening up as well. We hope you can come back again soon to explore everything there is to offer. Thanks for reviewing!

This place was amazing!!! So many things to look...we spent 5 hours here and could have spent more time. They do offer a little boat ride but you do need to buy tickets so don't forget to get those.

Thank you so much for your visit and review! The boat rides are certainly a great way to get familiar with the campus, we highly recommend them. Hope to see you again soon!
