Loved the “Town Hall” mtg. Some people had lines, cool. Going onto the boat as rebels was interesting.

For a group of seasoned historians living in the area for decades, this visit was fabulously impressive! While we've seen other historical reenactors & toured replicas of old vessels, what really left an impression was the authentic crate of tea from the Tea Party era on display (as well as the vial of tea), the "talking" historical portraits, the movie summarizing the chapters leading up to war AND the truly lovely Abigail's Tea Room where we sampled 5 teas! Would love to rent that out for an event! Exceeded the expectations of this jaded group of visitors.

I was really looking forward to this museum and tour, but it was not what I expected.
This tour and museum seemed more geared towards elementary school aged children. I really didn’t learn anything and the staff is so wrapped up in character and theatrics I felt uncomfortable asking questions and having them break character.

We enjoyed ourselves. The price was a little over the top for what you got, but all on all it was informative about the history related to the Tea Party & the onset of the revolution. The young actor were impressive and they had extensive lines that were memorized and recited very accurately. Took off 1 star for the slightly high price but definitely enjoyable.

My son (12) and I were in town for a History trip. We did the entire Freedom Trail and then saved the Tea Party for our very last event when we flew out. WOW! I cannot say enough good things about this trip. They drew us in, let us participate in history, view the ships inside and out, and the holograms and movie had me wanting to stay all morning. Thank you for a wonderful experience!

I went with a few friends that actually have lived in Boston most of their lives and had never been here before, by the end they couldn’t believe this was their first time. We all loved it so much! The reenactment is so well done and the history is very inspiring. I would make this priority #1 among the various sites around Boston.
