Anke RuwetteSeptember 26, 2015One of the best and fun museums I've ever been too! Be a part of history as you throw tea overboard and do a tea tasting

Rebecca B.February 28, 2018The tour is fun and entertaining as well as informative. The guides are great. You can learn a lot and then drop by Abigail’s tea room and taste the tea you just threw over board.Upvoted Sep 6
A well done look at an important historical moment in American history. The facilities are top notch the story well told, the enactors are talented and well informed about the nuances of the events.
Robert FortoJuly 31, 2018One of the best tours we have ever attended! You think you know the story but this is the rest of it!
- ToneDecember 28, 2014A must! Excellent actors inject humour and humanity into an exciting and educational visit that manages to avoid any schmaltzy overly patriotic Americana. A real "must-do" on a visit to Boston.
Erik CintronDecember 8, 2015An interactive and historical museum of the events the night of Boston tea party. Starts with a town meeting ur part of. Then a tour around the ships and throw some tea and then watch history unfold
Dayna CSeptember 15, 2022Live out your Revolutionary fantasies by boarding a trade ship and tossing some tea into the Hahbah. Then sample said teas for a bottomless flight of the 5 that steeped in the bay…
Harumi UAugust 19, 2014Everything about this place us cute (albeit its history...yes you learn that too). You must spend some time here. Gift shop, tea place, a ship museum.
Zara FarrarOctober 25, 2014Excellent tour. The perfect blend of history and entertainment. I'm not normally a fan of tours with actors but this one really works and is always fun.
James GoochSeptember 21, 2019The guides are so enthusiastic I felt like I wanted to start an actual revolt against the oppressors in 2019...and I’m British and love tea.
Tori BillingsJuly 26, 2015Cool reenactments! More of a little kid thing to do though. But if you want to focus on the history side of things then its really cool.
- Meg BermanNovember 10, 2018Huzzah! No taxation without representation! Reenact the incident that ignited a revolution by tossing tea into Boston Harbor. Keep an eye out for Tavern Nights at Abigail Adam's tea room.
- Amit JhaDecember 27, 2014One of the most entertaining history lessons you will get. Live reenactment with actors that interact with the audience to make you feel like you were there.
Aleta EwingMay 7, 2013Best guided tour I've seen and completely worth every penny! We had lots of fun and would gladly do it all over again. Thanks!
Jeremy KrantzAugust 26, 2014This museum is on a permanently docked boat. They will let you throw some tea in the harbor as you shout 'Huzzah!'
American MensaMarch 12, 2014If you’re a family of history buffs, there are few venues more intriguing than traveling back in time to Dec. 16, 1773, the fateful night we all learned about in school. Read more
Michael SalesAugust 1, 2014It's a bit (ok a lot) cheesy, BUT...entertaining! Pricewise it's a bit expensive. We go free (ish) tickets when we purchased a one day pass with Old Town Trolley Tours.
Alex WebbAugust 10, 2012If coming from outside downtown on T. Don't try to take trains all the way to south station nearby. Just goto aquarium and walk along waterfront in a breeze to stay cool compared to heat in T stations
Steven DoyleMarch 25, 2019Awfully cheesy in places - but delivered with a perfect tongue in cheek style - worth an hour of your time 😊
James CNovember 22, 2014Amazing experience a must do when in Boston. Staff is amazing and really into giving you the best.
Gerald RheadApril 9, 2013Fun stop. Actors do a nice job. Reminded me of what it feels like to be patriotic! Price of admission is included in the Trolley Tour ticket.
Carl GriffinJanuary 8, 2016Interesting insight to the lead up to the Boston tea party and the revolutionary war that followed.
Tessa CuculluAugust 30, 2018Get the bottomless cup and try all five of the flavors of tea that were thrown into the harbor.
US National ArchivesJuly 2, 2012This lithograph depicts the Sons of Liberty protesting British taxation in the iconic 1773 Boston Tea Party. This pivotal event escalated the growing conflict between Britain and the colonists. Read more
Green HippieMarch 29, 2017Interactive and fun. They usually have deeply discounted tickets on Groupon.- ed petersonJanuary 12, 2016Great adventure for kids! Enjoyed sharing this memory of my own first time in Boston
Drew McLellanMarch 21, 2013Best thing we did/saw all week. Fun, informative and memorable. Don't miss this!!
Don't forget to follow them on Twitter at…#BostonTeaShip?
Alexander KölpinSeptember 15, 2012There is nothing to see and you do not learn anything. Good show for kids though.
- Buy tickets ahead of time online to get a small discount.
- Anthony D PaulJanuary 1, 2013It is entertaining, albeit overpriced for what it is, and rushed with very few photo opportunities. If you liked the Salem Witch Museum, you'll like this.
Mary StathosAugust 16, 2013Only use a small amount of soap in the bathroom. You will be scrubbing it off your hands for hours.
