Yasemin • July 29, 2014Our 2nd visit in 5 years. A lot of things are out of order. It is for young kids under the age of 8, I would say, maybe even younger.
Ashley H. • June 27, 2015Our tour was fantastic. Our guide had a lot of very detailed historical knowledge which I thought made the tour. Well worth the money

Ali • November 15, 2017My most favorite place in Boston. Annual membership is a bit high. But their lending policies is VERY generous. The building itself is a marvel, and the staff are wonderful.
Mika • July 16, 2018This extension is always free entry! But if you have a ticket, there’s a free ferry b/w here and the Seaport main museum. Afterwards, I highly recommend getting free cider next door at Downeast!
