A great experience in Boston!

Published on Jan, 2025

We had a great experience at the Boston Tea Party museum. My kids loved throwing the tea into the harbor. It was cool to see tea and a tea chest from the original Boston Tea Party. The experience is interactive and fun.

Must visit!

Published on Jan, 2025

I had been wanting to visit this place and it was well worth the wait! The actors really made the experience enjoyable. Incredibly fascinating and historical.

Smiling the Whole Time

Published on Jan, 2025

I've never had a museum that had me smiling and laughing the whole way through, but this museum did it. Every worker is dressed in old colonial garb and speaks to you in the way they did in the 1770s. As a lover of Boston history, seeing how seriously they take the role of immersing the crowd into the complicated history of the time was astounding. I've never seen such a well-curated historical experience, right next to where the real event happened, which really relics of the time and extremely knowledgeable staff. They even have a tearoom that offers the exact tea the Bostonians threw overboard back in the day! This was a highlight of our trip, and I could not recommend it enough!

10/10 experience!

Published on Jan, 2025

The museum and reenactment were both phenomenal! I had a wonderful time and definitely would go again! Recommend for any and all age groups!

Amazing time!

Published on Jan, 2025

My coworker and I visited Boston for the first time and very much enjoyed this visit! The staff was friendly and knowledgeable and did an great job!
