Great effort made into having history live. Any reading you can do before you go will also add a great dimension. Everyone should visit here. And of course millions of Americans are descendants of the familys depicted here both Pilgrim and Native American. Enjoy it!

This is a living museum with some role playing and some q and a without roles. The parking is ample. The orientation film makes sense of what to expect. First is the wamponoag village. We saw boats being made, winter and summer houses,a cooking area, a garden, and children's games. Asking questions is what makes the experience. If you are... More

I have always wanted to see this place and stopped there on my own on an extra day of vacation before meeting up with some of my family. I was very glad I did. The prices that they charge are a little high, but I used my AAA card and got a small discount. As a social studies teacher, I... More

We spent a full day and still did not get to see it all--the "Pilgrims" always stay in character and add so much to the overall experience. Visiting here near Thanksgiving made it very special. The Native Americans have a great living/working area and have loads of information to share. Fascinating experience for young and old alike. An excellent value.

Thank you for the great review! I am so happy you had a good time. If you purchase a membership then you may come as many times as you like in the year to see what's happening with the change in each season. Thanks again! More

Plimouth Plantation, more correctly, a recreation of the Plimouth colony circa 1627, and displaced about 3 miles south of the original location, has a very nice authentic feel to it. It's not nearly as picture perfect as, say, Colonial Williamsburg, which makes it feel all the more authentic. The staff - not sure how many are paid vs. volunteer -... More

Like a choose your own adventure vacation. All I interacted with were knowledgeable and excited to speak with you- even let you participate in the fun. I helped make... More

Overall it ws a great place for families with young children and it was very educational and the staff were very friendly and... More

Went here on out first day in the Boston area. We arrived early, so there was not much going on when we got there. After seeing the fifteen minute movie they show you at the beginning of the tour we were disapointed that the role players did not really interact with us, just went about their business. Maybe they were... More

Terrible propaganda and revision of history. They try to make you ashamed rather than proud of our great heritage. The actual pilgrim presentation is still good as it always has been, thank God. But everything else from the movie to the Indian village is disgraceful.

This was a great activity to do with kids! Even though the Mayflower 2 was not in her berth ( apparently she was having work done), it was still worth seeing. We started out seeing a short movie explaining everything we were about to see. Then we went out to the Native American Village where we were able to talk... More

Thanks for the review, I am really glad you had a good time. I am sorry you missed the Grist Mill. The staff should have explained that you could have easily added the Plimoth Grist Mill to your tour by paying just a minor upgrade price. Glad you enjoyed the Maritime exhibit. The Mayflower repairs are coming along and we... More
