It was a great program. The actors were good and the movie was great. Lots of places for old people to sit.
This was one of the best tours I have taken. The staff was great at dressing in period costume and acting the part, too.
Our tour guide was energetic and stayed in character the entire time, making the experience fun and immersive. We loved moving through the different rooms, from the courthouse to the ship, hearing different perspectives, and getting to throw the tea into the harbor. Being assigned the roles of actual participants made us feel like part of history. Our kids had just finished 5th and 8th grades and had recently studied the American Revolution, but they still learned many new and interesting facts. The experience was educational, interactive, and entertaining from start to finish. It ended up being one of our family’s favorite activities in Boston. We highly recommend it for families—it’s an experience you won’t want to miss!
An interactive skit about history. There are stairs involved if you want to go below deck. Photos weren’t allowed in the museum. Overall it was interesting
It was fun and educational time. The actors were very good and would tell others it is a must go
We absolutely loved this museum,went as a family (grandparents,parents of grandchildren and two older grandchildren) Not only did we get to experience history but also learned from it .Would recommend it to anyone visiting the area.The cast was wonderful and the staff also .
The employees were dressed from the time period and made the experience fun for all ages. It was a great way to make history come to life!
It is very fun but you only get one chance to throw the crate so have your camera ready. I truly loved the interactive play at the beginning
My son and I enjoyed every authentic moment. The tour was informative and whimsical We laughed we learned. A good time was had by all.
Absolutely GREAT visit and tour. The guides were A+ Excellent knowledge and tremendous presentations of the Tea Party event. Lots of little extras to make it fun and informative. THE BEST tour in Boston and maybe anywhere.
