Relive the December 16, 1773, tea-dumping protest at the Boston Tea Party Ships & Museum with interactive exhibits and replica ships.

    • Explore the Boston Tea Party Ships & Museum on this experience that takes you through immaculately restored Boston Museum exhibits and tea ships.

    • Take the journey back in time as the historical interpreters adorning costumes from the 1700s talk about the people, events, and the consequences.

    I was not able to ride the hop on hop off bus. The package with the museum tour at 2:30-3:30 did not allow any time to ride the bus since it stopped service at 4:00PM. I contacted customer service but have not been offered a refund or any further communication.
