The fact the the C.W. Morgan Whaling Ship is out of the water and being restored, brings no regrets to those that love Tall Ships and quaint Villages. Mystic Seaport has adapted well to people's desires. To See a Tall Ship like the "Morgan" in dry dock was an experience one may never have again. You can still tour the... more

Spent a day here in June with my 11 year old daughter and her 75 year old grandmother. All three of us enjoyed it -- beautiful and educational! more

My family recently spent an afternoon at Mystic Seaport. I don't know why, but we had expected something more commercial. The Seaport is a charming historic recreation. There are numerous hands-on activities for the kids, some for an extra charge, but those are ones where you make something to take home, so the cost ($5) goes to materials. My 7.5... more

Mystic Seaport is a super place to take kids...they can run everywhere and actually...it's quite large. You have square riggers where they can scamper above and below decks...(they don't really encourage running on board) and they always have some event taking place... It is a place of learning...in most exhibits...they have someone explaining and showing you what the importance is...etc.... more

I've been here twice as an "okay, let's give it a try" type of situation with my class and then with friends. It's small, expensive, and there's nothing there. The last time, a tourist rep told me to think of it the way I consider Disneyworld (not sure what his point was). There is nothing of interest here. Waste of... more

My financee and I stayed one night in Mystic, CT as a little getaway. Our main purpose was to go to the beach, which we did. There really is no beach in town, so we went to one nearby. After plenty of sun, we decided to check out Mystic Seaport. Our hotel had a handout that said Mystic Seaport was... more

A recreated new england village,it contains many exhibits and has several national historic landmarks-one of which is the whaling ship charles w morgan which is undergoing a three year renovation. Among my favorite activities are viewing a show at the planetarium-clearer than before thanks to a new $100,000 projector,and riding the coal fired steamer the sabino. Both are extra cost... more

I went to the Mystic Seaport on Labor Day weekend. I purchased the Mystic seapass($52.00) which includes the entrances to the seaport, aquarium, 2 free soft drinks at each establishment,and a t-shirt. The sepaort was definitely a lot better than the aquarium. We spent the whole day at the seaport. We checked out all the ships,exhibits, rode on a free... more
