We arrived early in the day and found several school field trips arrived at the same time. This turned out to be really bad because all of the interpreters were busy showing the school groups around or were swamped by the young kids. My son and I toured around on our own while we waited for the kids to leave. Eventually they did, but all of the interpreters left too! I guess they all decided to take a break at the same time. We had already seen everything on our own and needed time to visit the mill and ship as well so we left. There isnā€™t any explanation of things outdoors so the only educational material comes from the small museum area indoors. It is cool to see the buildings, but the trip wasnā€™t nearly as educational as I expected. My homeschooling son is learning US history this year, and he learned little if anything on this visit. The mill and ship take very little time to go through. They have done a great job on the ship though! I toured the mayflower 20 years ago, and it was nowhere near as nice then. As far as ship visits go, however, visiting the museum and Old Ironsides in Boston is more educational and much cheaper.

Great experience. Loved the re-enactments. The staff really got into character making this village unlike any other. It was amazing. We thoroughly enjoyed ever bit of the village and seeing how the pilgrims lived. They cooked food and worked on building items, sang, danced, tended to the homes, etc. The mayflower was a great tour and a must see! Also enjoyed the grist.

The history about pilgrims, to know how they use to live, their food, houses and their habitats. Everything was so informative and interesting. And top this all, knowing about Mayflower, the history of it. It was amazing experience.
