Itinerary
Join the Sons and Daughters of Liberty and relive the night of December 16, 1773. The Boston Tea Party Ships & Museum is an interactive, guided experience where you will be a part of the single most important event leading up to the American Revolution. Board 18th-century replica sailing ships brig Beaver and Eleanor, and join the countrymen in tossing the tea into the sea! View the only known surviving tea chest from that fateful night, the Robinson Tea Chest. Transport back in time while viewing the multi-sensory film "Let it Begin Here", where you will be a part of Paul Revere's midnight ride and be placed into the battle where the "Shot heard 'round the world" was fired. Complete your experience with a stop in Abigail's Tea Room at the end of your tour to enjoy some tea time. MUSEUM CLOSED ON THANKSGIVING AND CHRISTMAS DAY

Traveler reviews
Fun Historical Experience
This was a great experience. The crew was amazing, really making you feel like you were back in the revolutionary times. Everyone gets their own identity of a person who was actually at the Boston tea party, and that really immerses you into the experience. My wife and I had a great time, and would fully recommend this.
Good tour
Enjoyed our tour. Very informative. Also enjoyed the tea room and opportunity to try the different teas.
Interactive and informative for all ages
We enjoyed the interactive tour and the actors were lively and engaging. Informative without being boring. Our teen hoped they’d do more with the characters they introduced in the beginning with the character cards they passed out to the audience.
Fire experience
This is fun great for history knowledge and I highly recommend especially for families looking for something fun and educational if you don’t go you are straight on something
Great Experience!
Mr Campbell and the other Patriots did an AWESOME job including the audience in the history of the Boston Tea Party!
