The Boston Tea Party exceeded expectations! The experience was the highlight of our day in Boston exploring the freedom trial as the presenters and the interactive media made it an immersive event. It really brought the history alive for my kids.

Overall a comprehensive well done exhibit. However we were very rushed especially when it was my kids turn to throw tea. Couldnt even get pictures because it was so rushed and congested. Also main tour guide was not welcoming to younger kids. Didnt effect my family. But another family with a toddler was given a hard time for a toddler being a toddler
