Almost empty on an April Sunday so it made for a low pressure visit- no one crowding the exhibits and no one hurrying behind me up the stairs/ramps of the monument. Very nicely curated museum and great view of the Cape from the top of the monument. Nice gift shop also. Well worth the admission.

Best historical experience in the area for a deep dive into all things Pilgrim. After a stroll through a surprisingly detailed museum you can climb the 116 step up the Italianate tower for a fantastic view (go on a clear day). It does get windy up top so mind the camera.
