We purchased tickets to see the museum's main site (17th century Pilgrim village/Native American village) and the two offsite locations (the grist mill and the Mayflower II) on 5/13/24. The visitor center has an introductory film, cafe, gift shop, and restrooms before you head out to the see the attractions. Unfortunately we were slightly ahead of the tourist season so there were only three costumed first person interpreters at the 17th century village to interact with, which was a little disappointing. However, the third person interpreters at the grist mill and the Mayflower II more than made up for it. It took us about five hours to see everything. Highly recommend to anyone wanting to learn more about these first settlers.

A waste of money. Short staffed. No exhibits. No demonstrations. It was like a ghost town, but price was still the same like it would be during high season. Went on a Sunday. All exhibits were closed. Rooms empty. Demonstrations only run a handful of days and at specific time. None on a Sunday.

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.
