The "museum" was one of the favorite places we visited. I really enjoyed seeing how the natives and early settlers lived. It really makes you appreciate everything we have and do now. We went on a weekday and there was plenty of time to view everything. I wish there was more of the "people" there to explain more about the details of how they lived but I guess it was enough info.

excellent 1st trip to Plymouth !!! I have 16 connections to the Mayflowe and great to see where my ancestors lived

I had a really good experience overall. I just wish there had been more people to interact with. The two ladies I did interact with were amazing and I learned a lot just lurking in the back without asking questions.

I read so many good reviews about the Thanksgiving dinner at Plimoth Pawtuxet. Here is my experience. The museums were good and the characters made the experience memorable. I recommend the museums. The dinner not so much. It was average at best. The thin piece of turkey wrapped around the stuffing could have been mistaken as deli turkey. Of the three desserts, the Indian pudding was the best, it was served warm but the coffee was cold. Think of the cheapest store bought pies you ever had; that is what was served. And those were served cold too, not even room temperature. I thought there was entertainment during dinner; none. The "pilgrim" woman in character was excellent but she disappeared after grace. I think this is the most disappointing experience and I would like to keep others from parting with their hard earned money to be let down. Bottom line: see the museums, eat elsewhere for a fraction of the price.

Is a bit of a challenge for elderly due to the amount of walking and uneven pavement. Otherwise we loved it! Food seemed pricey to us. We bought 9 hotdogs 4 bags chips and 4 drinks and 2 bottles of water. The total cost was $92.00.

Beautiful place and very interesting living experience of history. The visit on Nov 23th ( Thanksgiving day ) made this visit more special. Highly recommended not only the museums but also the Plymouth town is by itself worthy to visit and walk around.

The experience was wonderful! The Wampanoag people and the pilgrim actors were both very informative and welcoming. The pilgrim actors were in character, even using the language and accent of the person they were representing. The staff throughout the entire experience were so friendly and helpful. We ate the buffet Thanksgiving meal, and it was delicious! The Mayflower was unexpectedly closed, but the staff lead by Janet was very helpful with helping us get a refund for that particular part of our ticket. Their customer service is top notch!! I recommend anyone visiting here!

This museum has a golden opportunity to tell an accurate story of the pilgrims and Native Americans, about which most people are misinformed. Not only did I learn nothing new, there were very few volunteers/employees relaying information according to the expectation set forth at the visitor center. As for information about the the Native Americans? Little to none. This also applies to the Mayflower II. As a social studies teacher on a travel sabbatical, trying to learn more accurate information to take back to my students next year, I was very disappointed. I expect museums to care more about history than even those who love the subject, and this is not the vibe I got from my visit.

Yeah hard working Pilgrims. It's a lovely spot with houses, barns and animals from the first pilgrims of Massachusetts. My grandson lived the animals even though there wasn't a pig. The people were nice but no obesity could tell me why there was a suit of armor in each house.

How anyone can say this was not worth it , they’re crazy. This was so interesting and easily you can spend half the day hitting all 3. I would say the Mill was the least interesting - only bc it was a duplicate built in the 1980s if I recall and there’s not as much to see. My dad and I spent the bulk of the time exploring the Pilgrim village (yes it’s a recreation and not in the original spot as the original settlement but still so interesting. The historic actors were a hoot. They stayed in character, wore period clothing and answered questions about life in those times. Most of the houses had an actor you could interact with - so going from house to house and exploring life in the early colonial times was fascinating. We hit the Mayflower 2 and Plymouth Rock next (as they were right next to each other) - also super fascinating - the people they have on the ship had so much info to share from how life was like on the Mayflower during the 66 day trek from England and how they navigated without any technology but pegs and string. FYI this ship is an exact replica of Mayflower and was built in England and sailed over in the 1950s. Again super fascinating and you’ll want at least half day to explore all 3 locations. You will have to drive bc the museum/village is about 2 miles away from Mayflower and Plymouth Rock. And from there it’s another mile to the Mill. Also the cafe at the Museum was great. Very reasonably priced, hearty portions and pretty tasty :)
