If the ship was actually there I would have given it an excellent. We had a great tour guide who talked and talked and talked which made up for the fact that the boat isn't there. My parent's have done it before and said his tour was the best they've had there. It was 5 at closing and he was... More

The Mayflower II was gone for repairs, but the staff compensated for it ten-times over! The ratio was such that it was like having a private interpreter/historian.

It is hard to imagine what the Pilgrims went through--no privacy, no real space to call your own, no beds, no kitchen, no bathrooms, just the chance for a new life. Once you get down in the ship you can begin to appreciate their trials. This is an excellent replicia of the Mayflower that can really sail. Having children hear... More

This boat is very fun to walk around and look at but it is kind of a short look-around and it got a bit boring after a while. If yo want to go see the Mayflower 2 than I recommend that you plan out other activities during the day like the Plimoth rock, Plimoth Plantation/Native American Indian Village, shopping, and...

Even though the Mayflower II was being repaired, we enjoyed the tour through the dock. A staff member came out and gave us a private walk-through of the information about Mayflower II. This was someone who actually sails on the Mayflower II. When we got to the other side of the dock, The other staff member, dressed in colonial sailor's... More

The revisionist liberals haven't desecrated this attraction yet, but I'm sure they're trying. See it before they do what they did to the Plymouth Plantation. There's still hope yet.

This one is located not too far from Boston. You will have a nice drive (given that you don't get stuck in Boston's traffic). People working there are very enthusiastic. They are most determined to load you with all the info they possess. They act as certain historic characters and wear costumes. It is a great experience for the kids... More

We were quite happy with our visit to the Mayflower II. This reproduction gives visitors a look at the vessel used by the settlers. One could easily imagine the grueling journey they undertook. It is a fun visit because the actors are in character and try to convey a sense of what the journey was like. The information presented here... More

While currently in dry-dock repair until this coming May, in the past the Mayflower II, a reproduction from the 1950's, was a must-see attraction. It gives a real sense of historical scale, such as how the heck 108 people could possibly have survived for 6 weeks crammed below deck without having thrown each-other overboard just for amusement. Yet, somehow they... More

Such a small ship and so many people. Travelling through the North Atlantic, not knowing where they were really headed. Unbelievably brave! And the idea of those who remained watching the ships sail off again not knowing when they might return...I get goose bumps! I was able to visit Germany before I married and then moved here. At least I... More
