If you've never been to one of those places where they re-create a village from the old days, this is definitely one of the places to go to experience that. Not only do you have the village and hos they lived back then but you also have all the ships that come with it. the ships in itself is worth the price of admission. It is amazing to see that people could live in those things for 3-5 years. The Yardship is also nice to see as you see actual people working on boats and restoring them.

Thank you for taking the time to post a review. All of us at Mystic Seaport Museum work hard to tell the stories of New England and the sea. We are so pleased you enjoyed boarding our ships, exploring the village exhibits and checking out the work going on in our preservation shipyard. Hope you visit us again soon!

It has been years since I last visited. What I did enjoy was the $8.00 25 minute boat ride, which gave us a nice alternative view of the boats and ships from the water line. Staff was very friendly and helpful. On the minus, I found the pathways very uneven. To be fair it had recently rained, but I found the gritty sand really annoying. I would like to see more benches throughout the seaport.

Thank you for your feedback! Adding more benches is a great idea. I'm glad you had a chance to ride on our steamboat and enjoyed your cruise!

Really enjoyed seeing and learning about the history of seafarers/fishermen and the life they lived both on shore and at sea.
