The tour is pretty cool, you learn a lot about the history. You get to go onto the ship as well. Everyone who works the tour is in costume and character which is pretty cool. You also get a card with a character when the tour begins to give you a bit more history of the people involved. I did feel like it was a little pricy for the experience though.
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.

This was so much fun. Every cast member did an incredible job. You can tell each and every one was passionate, knowledgeable, and having fun. The crowd participation parts of the tour were super fun and kept the energy up. It wasn't just lecture, it was a blast. The tour was very hands on and interactive, which made it feel very alive. I learned a lot while having fun. I would absolutely recommend it to someone who's coming to Boston for the first time. Coming off the Amtrak and walking over set the tone for our vacation. Must see
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.
I absolutely loved this! The actors really brought to life the history of the BTP and the surrounding events. The museum is so meticulously curated to really engage the participants. My friend and I were absolutely blown away by this and cannot recommend it highly enough to people, especially if you’re like us and only remember bits and pieces from middle school social studies about this time in history!
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!
As a history buff, I was so excited to visit. The staff were friendly. The price did not match the experience for me. The only thing I learned was that the building does not stand in the location where the event actually happened. It was nice to walk in a replica of the ship that was part of the event. In addition there is no actual tea dumping. If you do not know anything about the event then I would recommend it.
