Our family thoroughly enjoyed our excursion here at the Boston Tea Party Museum. The museum, storytelling, and technology were remarkable. Excellent work by the employees and management. Safety before tyranny and permission before documentation. This museum exceeds our expectations for accessibility.

Our favorite stop while touring Boston! Our kids really enjoyed the entire experience which is choreographed beautifully! We moved from one space to the other seamlessly and I really appreciated the guides who really played their roles perfectly. We got to toss tea in the harbor and even sample the same types of tea that were tossed overboard. We purchased our tickets with the Old Town Trolley Tour through the website for a discount so if you’re looking to combine a few sightseeing excursions this might be a good option for you as well.

Such a fun and cute experience!!! You get a whole tour of the ships with a tour guide and then your group gets to throw "tea" into the harbor! It's so fun. Also nice that they have a museum for people to learn and see some history. The gift shop is really nice too, I got a ton of nice gift items when I came

Amazing! Some actors dressed in colonial-era clothing relive and recount the historic moments that marked the Boston tea party revolt. Really very interesting to have the opportunity to relive this moment and learn a little more about one of the first historical moments that led to the American revolution and the country's independence. Really, the most interesting thing is the work of the guides who make the story come alive and during the entire tour they participate in the staging, making you feel like you are living in that historic moment. My son really loved tossing the tea box overboard! As I said, this way of making the visitor participate in the historic moment is very exciting and lively! I really recommend it! A museum with a proposal very different from many I've visited!

Not sure, search GO Boston Card, they list their affiliated activities. The Tea Party Museum is a must visit, hands on history! It was our best event in Boston! Search Groupon too, they run ticket specials there.

Is the Tea Party Museum wheel chair accessible?

Mary Salkever | Aug 24, 2021
Sari Kitchen | Aug 24, 2021

Short answer, yes. The way down to the ships is by ramp. However, it's a bit steep and narrow, so it's not easy. The museum also has some narrow doors and walkways, so it depends on the width of the chair and the maneuverability of the user. The final room and stairs wouldn't be easy for a wheelchair user, but you could just ask to be allowed to go back the way you came.
