A multisensory experience, Boston Tea Party Ships & Museum presents one of the most important events in American history.

After you've booted the tea overboard, visit an actor portraying Abigail Adams in her tearoom, where she will tell the story of husband John. Other exhibits use interactive technology to present Boston's rich history. Special events and programs, like Huzzah Tavern Night, take place on the ship throughout the year.

    Fun museum! Been there three times and every time it's been worth the visit! Good for kids and grandparents. Make sure to check out the MA resident and teacher discounts before you go. The tea room was fun too.

    Great gift shop with interesting touristy stuff. Dis not go into the actual museum part but I could hear the people upstairs having a blast as they where submerged into the time period! Would go back with my family to really “meet” some characters from our national history!
