The Basics

A visit to the Boston Tea Party Ships and Museum is an immersive experience: Visitors first head to the Meeting Room and receive a disguise, then march to the wharf and board one of the replica ships throw a crate of tea overboard. After you’ve helped start the revolution, head to the museum to see actors recreate the debates that followed the tea party, enjoy a documentary, and see historic artifacts.

Not knowing what to expect, we were impressed with the presentation, the facility, and the enactments. A lovely winter’s day spent learning a little bit more of our early Patriots!

Excellent use of time for everyone!

The experience from beginning to end was incredible and well-thought out. The main narrator alongside their help gave the group a quick background of the event alongside the hardships for the people during their time of the event. Overall, great for all age groups.

Great Family Experience

Our experience was wonderful. The 1 hour educational tour was expertly performed by a great set of people who made the experience interactive and fun. We truly enjoyed interaction with the two “talking” pictures. Well done!!

Fun and engaging experience, but a bit too fast paced

Boston Tea Party Ships & Museum Admission

Fun and engaging experience. I liked how the content was delievered in different mediums. The costumed cast were funny and enthusiastic. My only negative comment is that the 1 hour tour was really fast paced, so you had to look at things really quickly.

Lots of fun and history!...
