- Stephanie MFerndale, MI119 contributionsThe museum is full of many artifacts, art and interactive displays. There were two 30 minute movies available and we watched the one on the whaling industry and history of Nantucket. We actually visited the museum first, so this was very helpful for us the rest of the day on the island.
There was a presentation given by a museum member, which we did not listen to, but many people were interested in this. I appreciated the wide range of artifacts and art including pieces from ships.
Be sure to walk up the stairs to the โlookoutโ on top of the building to see the amazing view of the Island!Written October 6, 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

It is a place where history comes to life through the compelling narratives showcased in the videos and the expertise of the guides in their informative comments. The actual remnants on display are fascinating.Written October 13, 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- RonTDayton, OH47 contributionsThe trip over and back was a great ride on the boat. It was loaded with illegals which was very uncomfortable and they were not the most polite people be around. I would not go over there again because of that.Written October 10, 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Inspire078963518661 contributionGreat tour! I was traveling the Island Hopper with Wolf Bus Tours. My tour was interrupted by an emergency at home. Everyone was very helpful in getting me an earlier ferry and setting me on my way. Telephone service was spotty with Verizon.Written March 10, 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
- Big Red of BostonBoston, MA1,645 contributionsA 15 mile bike trip from Broad St.
We took the Milestone Road which has a dedicated bike path most of way until you are just about in the quaint town of Siasconset. Loved this little town.
We left at 9:30am and traffic wasnโt bad.
On the way back we took the Polpis Bike Path. When we got back to town traffic was heavy and we actually went around and followed side streets.
The lighthouse history is documented well at the sight. The bluffs are interesting and thereโs signs about erosion.Written June 13, 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

Even saw a seal popping his head in and out of the water.Written November 9, 2021This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Matthew B5 contributionsThis needs to be a 'must do' in Nantucket, and even for locals. Knowledgeable staff, absolutely incredible night sky gazing, and so easy to get to. Make sure you make time for this.Written August 14, 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
- travelgirl22014Chattanooga, TN105 contributionsWe rode our bikes from Sconset to Surfside beach and easily arrived at the parking area with lots of space for bikes, scooters and mopeds. There are bathrooms, showers at the parking lot. Itโs an easy walk to the wide Sandy beach there with waves crashing. They do allow pets on a leash there, and there were a few families out enjoying the late sun but not crowded at all and a pleasant place to enjoy the surf and sun. Beautiful and pristine best describes Surfside beach.Written September 8, 2022This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Navigator215810277257 contributionsI wanted do some research on my ancestor Peter Folger. The staff was very helpful in pulling a book out of storage that gave me more information on Peter and other Folgers. Nice place to read in quiet too.Written June 25, 2022This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
- SalR5Calgary, Canada315 contributionsNice beach, exactly what I expected of the beach in Nantucket. We rode our bicycles from town centre to Siasconset and sat and watched the sealions for a bit before heading back.Written July 4, 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.
