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.

I absolutely loved Mystic and all that it offered. By far my favorite city in all of New England. Mystic, as a whole, the Seaport Museum, and everything there was superb. Don't miss this, it encompasses the whaling community in the colonial times and brings the vibe of a true seaport town.

Easy to get to from I95 and nearby Mystic Aquarium. Plenty of free parking at both lots lo ated in front of the North and South entrances. Ticket price for Adult tickets are $27 each. Kids 18 years and under are free. But, for the last two years, the State of Connecticut have had a Summertime program that Adults get in for free with one Child ticket. Only for CT residents. We loved this place. It shares a piece of history of what commercial fishing and shipping was like, especially around the State of Connecticut. It shows how important it was for our Country's economy and for the development of Mystic. There are ships and boats of different sizes that we were able to see up close. There's a Planetarium, many exhibits around the Seaport Village, a Children's museum, a Lighthouse replica, a small boats showing and many more things. There are several places to eat and drink around the museum. A bit expensive for us though. From upscale to a cafe. The gift shop is nice, with a few choices to get souvenirs for everyone. Highly recommended.

The whole seaport experience was amazing. Seeing craftsmen work as they did 150 years ago is truly a treasure to be seen. My 12 and 14 yo were captivated enough to appreciate and enjoy what they were seeing. Tall mast ships to explore, hands on activities. 19acres to explore and it really is exploring since it’s self guided. Beautiful scenery on the water. Easily spent 3 hours and that was kind of moving through quickly. A great way to spend a day.
