Boston Tea Party Ships & Museum 306 Congress Street, Boston, MA 02210

"Wow, what a great experience! I had a day off in Boston and was looking for something to do within walking distance of my hotel, when Google Maps showed me this little building in the middle of the Congress Street Bridge. I was hesitant to go, despite a very high rating on Maps, because it was cold outside and I wasn't really looking forward to exploring boats in the freezing weather. Well, let me tell you - this museum is a must-see! Be prepared for a 1-hour long immersive multimedia adventure, complete with historical characters, reenactments, and plenty of opportunities for audience involvement. The actors they hired are believable and obviously passionate about their subject matter. When you first begin the tour, you will be given a card that "assigns" you the identity of someone who was actually at the Boston Tea Party. Some of these cards will give you a part to play during parts of the reenactment, but most are just to give you a peak behind the curtain to learn a little more about an "average Joe" during the start of the Revolutionary War. I can't overstate the quality of the production that goes into this tour, and I'm confident that even the most learned Revolutionary historian can learn something at this museum. Check it out!"

"This place was AMAZING. Not only is there a fantastic performance, you have the interactive portion where visitors get to throw tea into the harbor, there’s informative re-enactments, and ACTUAL pieces of history preserved at this amazing museum. 10/10 across the board. Honestly the price is phenomenal for the experience. Shout out to the performers of the 2:30 session on Friday. They were engaging, fun, entertaining, and seemed so passionate. We had an amazing time! What an excellent start to our trip in the city."

"Recommended. One must participate to have fun, and also learn. It is a one-hour experience all together. It offers dramatization that informs about the historical event. I'd say it's a little pricey, but I was more than satisfied with the experience. I even purchased souvenirs (very unlikely from my part...lol.). Maybe if the tea tasting, something that one must do during a rainy afternoon anyway, were included it'd be a different feeling. Please take your kids and participate. My favorite part was the assembly, though others in my party didn't like it...lol. There is a moment on the ship replica (nice), some screening and museum, and finally a short movie. Well now, I'm off for a cup of tea."

"It was a wonderful interactive experience. The staff/characters were fantastic and made the experience all the better. Bringing History alive the way the Boston Tea Party Ship Museum does is a great way to learn about history. Being able to take part in the "town meeting" and "throwing tea" overboard was a real highlight. Keep up the great work team Huzzah!"
