This attraction is Very entertaining! A Great learning experience! Interactive, and just the Right amount of time for kids!
Definitely purchase the tea sampler of historically accurate teas

We really enjoyed this museum visit! Quality actors presented the history and meaning of the Boston Tea Party in six different stops. The tour moved along at a good pace. We purchased the tea room sampler of five historically accurate teas for $3.99 per person. This allows for unlimited samplings of each tea and a take-out tea as you leave. Pastries, sandwiches, and other goodies were available for purchase. It was a cold and windy day, so the hot tea, and warmth of the tea room were especially appreciated! Would definitely recommend this tour.
Fun for all ages.

I visited the Boston Tea Party Ships & Museum and had a fantastic time! The exhibits were really interesting and interactive, and I loved learning about the history of the event. The costumed actors who gave the tours were knowledgeable and engaging, and made the experience that much more memorable. I would definitely recommend this museum to others, especially those with an interest in history.
Rebel rousing fun

Highly educational for youth! I thought it was just going to be a tour of the ship but it was so much more. The character actors play their parts well. Our granddaughter learned a great deal about treason, taking a stand and freedom.
Fun and educational

How well your actors stayed in character - even when asking questions or having a very brief conversation.
Well worth a visit!

Was not disappointed with this interactive experience. Great story telling by the actors - I even had a talking part, which was fun.
Great to be onboard the ship and experience throwing the tea overboard!
Thoroughly Entertaining and Highly Educational!

Just want to add to the list of positive reviews. The living history actors did an amazing job and I was really pleased with the use of technology, atifacts, and multiple points of view of this event. As an experienced AP US History teacher who is also the step-father of 2 curious 11 years olds, this experience was valuable for young and old, experienced and novice. Highly recommend!
Great activity

This was a great activity, really enjoyed it. Just the right amount of history, acting and looking around.
The team were great and there was no waiting around. If you wanted to join in you could, if you didn’t, not a problem.
Overall really good experience and I’d definitely go back.
Loved the experience!
