This was a fun and interactive reenactment of the Boston Tea Party. It is very educational. You get the experience of tossing tea into the harbor yourself which my child enjoyed.
It wasn't for us. I think it would have been better for younger kids but my 12yo thought it was a bit baby-ish. I thought the part with the tea chest was interesting, though.
I wasn’t sure what to expect, other than being able to throw some boxes of tea into the harbor; however, I was pleasantly surprised with the immersive and informative nature of the tour.
Great experience, loved the audience involvement. From a person that typically doesn’t do the touristy things, my family and myself walked away pleasantly surprised and all would recommend.
Best of all of our Boston tour experiences for immersing ourselves in the history of the Revolution. Guides/reenactors were superb!
We enjoyed the experience. Was fun yet good historical relevance
Great few hours spent experiencing the events at The Boston Tea party ships and museum. Great actors, setting the scene and telling the story through role play. As a group you are invited to join in with the cheering and booing (this is optional). Finishing off with cake and a cup of tea in the cafe.
This was not just a guide telling us about the Boston Tea Party. It was interactive at times which made the tour so much fun. There were also some video scenes with different players who took part in the Tea Party in one way or another. Our guide was knowledgeable and easy to hear. He also made the tour fun for kids and adults. I would highly recommend this museum.
We greatly enjoyed the Tea Party tour. The actors at the start of the tour were my favorite part, getting us "patriots" fired up to do the deed. Throwing the tea was fun. All museum employees were great. Would recommend!
Must do activity in Boston! One of the most fun parts of our trip. The actors are amazing and engaging and being able to throw tea off of the ship is a cool experience. We also learned a lot about the Boston Tea Party and the pieces in the museum are incredible. Highly recommend!
