The museum combines historic and rare artifacts with cutting-edge technology to give you a real-life experience of what life was like in Boston during the 18th century. Spend your day wandering the museum and the exhibits at your leisure, or take advantage of the complimentary, one hour guided tours that leave every 30 minutes!
Museum exhibits include: The Meeting House:See a reenactment of the evening of December 16, 1773, when patriots dumped the loads of British tea into the Boston Harbor.

Very interesting and enjoyable few hours. We learned through the cast, the story of the Boston Tea Party. A great way to learn while having fun. Recommended to everyone who visits Boston
The actors are fantastic - engaging and very well informed. My two 10 year olds and 12 year old said it was "awesome", and my husband and I learned a great deal.
This was a great interactive museum as you became part of the Boston Tea Party event. We loved all this establishment had to offer. History relived for adults and children.
This was a great experience and the characters/actors were amazing. They got you involved and made it fun. Highly recommend. Jo Texas
This tour lasted about 45 minutes. It was fun, but not anything super special. All in all, I think it was a little pricey for what we got.
Rather juvenile.
Had a great experience on an extremely cold day! There were only 3 of us on a day the harbor was actually frozen, but we still got to throw the tea boxes overboard AND all the guides were enthusiastic and put on a GREAT show. It was full of well presented and informative exhibits and even a well produced movie. I even felt pretty patriotic by the end! Great family fun.
A great half-day out in Boston, and an interesting way to learn more about American history and the part Boston played in it.
This was the best part of our 8 day stay in Boston. The actors with time period costumes made everything so real and memorable.
The interaction we had with the characters dressed in period clothing was so much fun. We each received a description of who we were back then and some of us even got lines. Sampling the teas int he tea room was just what the doctor ordered on a rainy day, plus the food was amazing. Highly recommended
