The staff that acted out the historic events were amazing. I loved watching our grandsons on the ship throwing the tea overboard. The holograms depicting actual individuals was amazing.

Endless thanks to this amazing crew - we had the best time!! This was unlike any other museum we have been to. Everyone was in character and in costume the whole time. The experience was interactive including being a part of a patriotic meeting hosted by Sam Adams, throwing tea overboard, touring a replica boat, and hologram videos inside. We haven't stopped raving about it ever since!

The old town trolley tour is the best way to have an insight of Boston landmarks. The bus driver gave valuable information of each landmark as you pass by. You can hop off and on in any of the stops and you can even switch with trolley lines with the same ticket.
