GETTING HERE

Easily accessible by car, train, or boat!

Worth every penny of admission! This museum is amazing! The staff is knowledgeable, friendly, and welcoming! At each location, they answered our questions and offered interesting information. Our favorite location was the working ship yard. The gentleman who talked with us had a deep passion for the boats, their history and restoration - it was fascinating! Also really enjoyed the whaling exhibit and touring the CHARLES W. MORGAN. The town buildings were interesting and informative.

Great place for a family! We have 6 kids and each of our kids would much rather have a membership here than other places around. There is a good rotation of different events and activities throughout the year. This place is worth every penny. You are able to tour many historical ships and if you go on the right day you can even use a paddleboat or rowboat for free with entry tickets. If you’ve never visited, this place is a must!!

There's so much to see and do that you can spend a whole day here: exploring the buildings and historic ships; seeing demonstrations from various trades that are period accurate; getting out on the Mystic River on SABINO; tons of fun activities for children (like building a toy boat); grabbing a bite to eat at one of the multiple restaurants on site. While I spent the day here, I still feel like I really only scratched the surface. I'm looking forward to going back again sometime later this year to do more exploring and photographing!

This (WoodenBoat Show) is a splendid experience! John and I enjoyed one of these awhile back and enjoyed every minute.
