Our interactions with the plantation inhabitants were fun and the Mayflower was very interesting. The crew members were extremely knowledgeable and willing to answer questions.

We had both adults and younger children on our vacation and all of us enjoyed the plantation. From the very beginning it was good...there was plenty of parking and no long line at the ticket building. Both at the Indian section and the Pilgrim section of Plimoth there was plenty of interpretors to help educate adults/children on the life back then. The kids loved that the interpretors stayed in character

I was here (Plimoth Patuxet) probably 30 years ago when I was a kid and it was so much better. Today I went with my 17yr old daughter who loves history and my parents. It fell very short of my previous experience. We only encountered 4 “villagers” the entire time we were there. The animals (specifically one of the goats who looked as though she needed medical attention) seemed not well cared for (no visible water source). The fence surrounding the bulls was falling apart. Areas that were previously well maintained seemed to have seen better days. My handicapped mother who uses a scooter could not navigate through many areas even though we were told it was handicap accessible. Some areas were completely inaccessible and the path was treacherous with large ruts that nearly tipped her scooter.

Hello and thank you for your thoughful comment. All areas of the museum are ADA compliant, including the doorways to enter the Pilgrims and Indigenouse homes. In recreating an authentic environment the pathways are dirt and some may find it difficult to manuever in a non-motorized vehicle. For those guests, we have a complimentary service that will take you from one exhibit to another and we can hook the wheelchair to the back of the cart to help further. Unfortunately, as you may know, in thie area we have been hit with several significant rain storms the last few weeks and maintenance and grounds is working overtime to manage the impacts of those storms, which may result in some divets in the ground. They do their best to offer you an authentic and safe experience. This year we have exciting new programs and exhibits including historical performances through-out the day in the English Village that include dancing, militia, gardening, story telling, herbs, religion, cooking...and also have modern guest service experience staff that interact with the guests answering their questions and offering demonstrations. If you encountered only 4 Pilgrims, it could have been for a very brief time during their lunch break. All staff take short breaks in order to be on site as much a s possible to provide a high level experience to our guests. Regarding our Heritage Rare Breeds animals, I can assure you they are all healthy and well cared for. The fence you see around them is historically accurate, not the same as a fence you would see on a modern farm today. Thank you for your concern.
