Your visit begins with a short film about the Plantation. It was very well done! Next, you head down a trail to the Village. There were people wearing and portraying what the natives would have done. The guys working at the canoes were very eager to talk, as was a young lady in one of the tents. Next, you continue down a pretty steep trail to the Craft building. There were multiple artists working on their crafts. There are also restrooms and a cafe here. Then you head down to the Plantation. You are greeted at the Plantation by some volunteers. We felt like one of the volunteers rambled on a bit too much. While what he was describing was interesting, it just went on too long for our kids. Again there were people in the period dress all around the Plantation. They acted like we were all in the past. Don't dare tell them you are from Florida!! Ha, ha! My husband really got into the whole act. There were multiple houses you can go into. They all pretty much looked the same. We felt like the kids learned a lot, but the experience seemed overpriced for what it was. We were expecting it to be more like other living history museums. We did visit the Grist Mill and found it interesting. The Mayflower II is still in Mystic (we happened to see it there earlier in the week).

Those memories of your husbands immersion experience is why we do what we do. The mill is a great STEM program for the children, and added plus to the living history immersion at the Wampanoag Homesite and the 17th-Century English Village. There's something old to learn everyday!

We went on a reccomendation and were excited. However, while the premise of a living museum (and I must note we've been to others that were fantastic) is great we felt this was overpriced for the experience. We went only to the plantation site, not the gristmill, and the Mayflower is out for repairs untion 2020. The outside park area and trails seem to be in desperate need of repairs/general maintenance. We were disappointed in the lack of "staff" in the native area. There were only 2 young men that were answering questions and one younger boy that was simply dancing around, I have no idea what he was supposed to be doing. One of the men went into great detail on the canoe he was working on, very informative. There were no women to ask questions of which was dissapointing. The English village was decent and had a fair amount of "staff" to answer questions of. Frankly we feel entrance fees should be half of what they are based on past experiences. But, perhaps if we didn't have higher expectations based on other living museums we would have been satisfied.

Everything you see, touch and smell is truly a recreation of the 17th century at Plimoth Plantation, with the unique opportunity to experience first-hand, Native cultural singing and dancing. For some guests expectations are different based on visual knowledge from Hollywood and older school text books, all our exhibits are based on primary source.

Wow! ....and, Wow! What a wonderful experience... All docents dressed in period clothing and very well versed in the characters they portrayed, truly presenting the original colonists and local indigenous peoples complete with authentically reproduced dwellings, gardens, and reenactments... a treasure trove of knowledge and history right down to use of local medicinal herbs and detailed construction methods. A MUST for history buffs and school-aged children...
