Worth the money to visit, especially if you are a history buff. Its great for kids too. You get to step back in time and ask questions to actors who are dressed in 17 century wardrobe. Its pretty cool. You learn about pilgrims and the mayflower in school. This is a great way to revisit that subject and leave with sense of going back in time.

I had not been here in years. It was the 1st time for my husband and son. It was as beautiful as it was informative. This may be a new annual trip.

Went as a day trip with my boyfriend on Veterans Day. I went as a child during school field trips while he didnt. The park is divided into Patuxet section (Wampanoag tribe) & Plymouth section (English settlers) where you can see buildings from those respective times and practices. We saw a canoe being hollowed out by fire which was super cool. Would definitely recommend as a part of history! I would recommend wearing comfortable shoes as the park is hilly and has some uneven surfaces

Thanksgiving Day dinner with the Plimoth Plantation This year! I was nervous because the Covid 19 has been rising but after talking with one of the staff over the phone, she assure me about the safety measures that This Thanksgiving’s buffet was providing, I felt good about it. Even though we had to sit at different table, due to the a Covid guidelines, it was ok with me. They were sitting a table of 6 at each table. The staff was very pleasant and so helpful. It was a rainy day, and it never felt like it because it was such a calm, and pleasant dinner. The staff wore all safety gloves and mask as they served each person from a distance. I would definitely recommend anyone who is looking for a pleasant dinner at this place during their events! I only wish we bought the dinner with the show before they sold out, BUT maybe next year!:) this ticket price seemed like a lot UNTIL you see everything it comes with.... you can aboard the Mayflower II, the museum, 17th Century English Village, Wampanoag Homesite, and a few animals in a building before the Peabody Pavilion. This was definitely a nice way to spend Thanksgivings this year! 5 stars for this place and I will definitely be back again! I wanted to add that they have a few gift shops to take home some Plymouth memories too with reasonable prices! Enjoy if you plan this trip!

The history... I decided to come here for Thanksgiving. Not only do I like the Plymouth Plantation, the area is really cool. I talked with a few different friendly people in Plymouth and Duxbury. I will be back, for the Thanksgiving Dinner..... All, the staff was great, although...we were the last group of the day, and they were all exhausted, and giddy. Noooo, I think they had things well organized. The traditional Thanksgiving Day dinner, was excellent. I still say (Judith), that the Indian pudding, tastes like pumpkin... ok, squash.

Very informative historic live recreation of both Native American and English settlers in the Plymouth colony circa 1620. Amazing to see how they both lived in those days with next to nothing. An educational and humbling experience.

My husband and I stopped here on our way home from the Cape. Im so glad we did. Its such an interesting place. The people at each place we stopped were full of information. They had so much knowledge about the history of the place. They sometimes even spoke to you as if you were back in the 1600s. Really cool. We thoroughly enjoyed our visit. I highly recommend stopping here if you have the time. We spent about 3 hours here. You can do it quicker if you dont want to speak with the people there. I recommend you do though.

This is one of my favorite all time museums. The interaction with the people is second to none. The living history brings life in 1628 to a whole different level of understanding. I love, my children love it, and my grandchildren love it. In other words theyre is something here for all ages and level of interest in history. It can be a little overwhelming if you visit at the same time as a school field trip, you just need to be patient and await your turn to ask questions and have some conversations.

Really cool place. Loved the actual Native Americans there to interact and share knowledge. The Pilgrim village was awesome(especially the cannons upstairs in the 2 story wooden home). The Fall colors were beautiful. No one explained the Mayflower ship was 10 min away. I purchased the combination pass but am on a tight schedule to head south to Cape Cod-maybe next time.

This place is awesome. They have artifacts and a replica of an indian village and a pilgrim village. They have people playing the role of the villagers. You can interact with the villagers and ask them questions. They have some animals on site and you can enter some of the huts or homes. Great place for the kids. You can buy tickets at the admissions office for the mayflower ship if you choose.

Great experience! This is such an educational and entertaining experience!! Definitely worth it!

Unbelievable artifact of history... Totally amazing. Great guides with original 17th century costumes. Absolutely recommended!

Recently renamed Plimoth/Pawtuxet to reflect an increased focus on the indigenous people encountered by the Pilgrims, this is an excellent living museum. It provides a well-developed glimpse into the lives of both the local Native people and the early colonists. Period-costumed staff adhere to character very well and display a solid knowledge of history. While other staff augment this is with interesting information about the colony. The woodland setting is beautiful, the historic villages very authentic, even the gift shops scored high in my esteem, by avoiding the tacky and touristy, and by keeping prices reasonable. The only downside is that the admission is a bit steep (around $35) but it is well worth the cost..

Beautiful place, gives an in depth, realistic experience. Parking is on site and free. $32 pp enterence fee but well worth it. A must visit.

After going many times since I can remember, I can honestly say I will never visit again. It cost $96 to get in for 3 people first of all, secondly there were 2 pilgrims and zero, ZERO, Indigenous people. There was one Teepee set up with bear hide in it, I wouldnt know because you couldnt enter any of the usual areas and of course the fresh bread wasnt happening. Yes, I know covid is a thing, however, perhaps have that reflect on the outrageous ticket price. We couldve walked around Miles Standish for free or paid the same price for Canobi Lake Park.

Superb ! Faithfully recreated Pilgrim settlement, re-enactors dressed in period costumes and engaging conversations with Pilgrims and Indians. Really nicely puts everything in perspective when visiting the site of the original settlement

Awesome historical down recreation but the best part was having a amazing conversation with a native person. It was perfect. Definitely a must see, especially if you value becoming more educated about history.

Always a great trip. Rich with history brought to life by the inhabitants. Always learn something new. Can be enjoyed by the whole family.

Its open, you need to wear a mask and keep your distance, but at $32 a person, you may want to wait to go. The interior of the main building is pretty empty, the Wampanoag Village had staff who would tell you the history around their area and were free to answer questions you have. When you get to the English Village things change as you are now dealing with a cast of characters. You need to help them tell you their story. Some are better with this exchange than others but I assure you, no one has the same experience. The first character was really long winded so I excused myself and moved along. Its really interesting to hear the history and place it contextually in a historic environment. If you like chatting up people, this part will be fun for you. If youre expecting them to tell you a story, you may not get as much out of it.

A great outdoor activity. History and current experiences of Wampanoag native people are the best part of the visit. Character actors in the Plimoth Village were also great. Dont forget to visit the animals in the barn, including Hyacinth the llama!

Actually had fun with the wife going back in time just wish there were more exhibits

Wonderful living history tour of what life was like 400 years ago.

This place is amazing. Lots of history. Great place to take the family.

Went here a few years ago. It was amazing. The actors are dressed like in that era. They talk to you like its the 1700s. You feel like youre transported in time. Outside of this museum theres a native settlement (I believe with real natives). Well worth going here.

A walking and interactive with role players kind of history lesson. Very cool.

This was an awesome trip. Loved to learn and see how people live. Beautiful views

Very enjoyable way to learn about early American history. The museum and the recreated Pilgrim Plantation It will take you into the past. Character actors portray life in the Plantation in period dress. Staff are very knowledgeable about the plantation history and the characters they portray. Plan to spend an entire day with the entire family.

Fun and people didnt leave character in the houses. I would recommend getting the combo pass and see the Mayflower.

Really cool to see how people lived hundreds of years ago. The people that work there are totally in character, so if you want to talk to them you better be ready to go back to that time in America. For example, I asked to take a picture and he looked at me funny and said what?. I said Id like to take a photo of you. He said, I dont know what your are talking about but you may do what your please.. At that point I realized what was going on and it made the rest of the visit in the village that much more enjoyable. I wont go on but you get the gist of it.

Super cool. The Wampanoag winter home was my favorite. I liked all the animal hides and there was a person explaining everything.

This review is based on an August 2020 visit with 2 adults and a 6 year old. The outdoor exhibits were realistic. The Native American area was very small, consisting of a large and small hut, a few canoes carved from tree trunks, an authentic Native American man outside and a less-than authentic Native American woman sitting in one of the huts. Seriously, thats it. The Pilgrim settlement had quite a few hand-built houses - only one of which you can enter and 3 actors stationed about to provide facts and answer questions. We enjoyed the exterior and didnt rush through it, but saw it all in about 45 minutes and that included stopping to chat with some of the actors. The inside was lackluster. Yes, it was interesting to see BUT I will be honest and state I did not feel the hour and 20 minutes of time it took there was worth $83 for me, my wife and child ($32 per adult, $19 for child). It seems that some people have to be cool and pretend the admission isnt a bit too high and carry on about the educational experience....The educational experience was minimal. It is by no means an American Museum of Natural History where you can spend hours and hours and immerse yourself in everything and still not see the entire place. This was interesting and mildly informative. There simply was not a lot to see and we came away feeling a bit ripped-off. Maybe if the price included the Mayflower tour in the town I wouldve been ok with it, but that carried additional admission fees (the two locations are associated with each other). My point is not to diminish or debate the educational aspects - we are not a strictly tactile, uneducated, amusement park type family, but I feel its important to set the expectation levels for those that are considering going. It seems many reviews were for visitors that had some childhood memories associated with it, but I dont understand anyone coming away extremely impressed and satisfied. We were very disappointed.

Great reproduction of Pilgrim and Native American village and farm.

Great learning place. Beautifully taken care of. Never gave any pluses for the gift stores, but the one at the Plantation is very unique and specific to the museum. Place worth visiting.

Beautiful reconstruction of the very earliest Plymouth settlement. The hosts were incredibly knowledgeable and entertaining and the character actors brought the beliefs and attitudes of the new immigrants to life. The native Patuxet village was interesting as well -- both the buildings and the agriculture -- and I look forward to that expanding in future years.

This is just a special place and you really learn to appreciate ourfore fathers and women that paved the way for us all.The actors are perfect and my very favorite is Captain Myles Standish he is always informative and fully in character and nothing but a joy to talk with when I visit.

Great living history museum. Loved speaking with the characters! Learned so much. Went with 15yr and 12yr. Very small so you don’t need that much time. When you are finished here go see Plymouth Rock and get something yummy to eat there. Due to covid the place is low key but still lots of learning in a super fun interactive way. $25/person. Open 9a-5p.

Another fantastic part of our day trip. We got there when it first opened and pretty much were the only ones there to start. From Native American village to the settlers village it was amazing.

The staff was very friendly.. taking the time to explain things and answered any questions.. the one way paths were nice because you didnt need to worry about moving over to let someone by..

Well maintained and nice stories. Some of houses were closed due to covid-19. Great for children.

Great opportunity to experience 17th Century native and English village life.

The actors are great and very informative. Neat place.

Interesting part of history, dont forget to see the newly restored mayflower..

Brought the grandkids. Great place to spend some time with them.

Not enough interactive displays and demonstrations. Not a lot of buildings. Very small. Sturbridge Village does Living history so much better.

This is a great place to take family and large groups. However, they do have some construction happening, which is why its only 4 stars for me. Additionallly, the actors who are role playing are generally very good at it.

I hadnt been since I was a child, and was pleasantly surprised at how interesting it was to visit. We really enjoyed watching the canoe burnout, and were able to ask a lot of questions and learn a whole lot.

I bet this is normally a really cool experience, but asking full price admission for half of the experience left us a bit disappointed. I understand the need for COVID-19 precautions, but it was a bit ridiculous. Face masks are required at all times despite being in the fresh, open air 90% of the time. On top of that, only a few people are allowed in the homes and huts at a time - if the face masks are required, why is this necessary? Also, a couple of the staff members were very aggressive about the masks - someone should remind them that some people have disabilities or medical conditions that make mask wearing difficult.On the bright side, the Wampanoag people on site were wonderful. In particular there was one gentleman making head pieces who was so friendly and knowledgeable. In the English pilgrimage, the actors could have been more engaging, but it was still nice to see the village. I wish that we could have seen more of the stations, but there were a lot roped off with no people or signs nearby for explanation of what they were.

Fascinating history, wonderful opportunity to step back in time

Great place to visit to learn about how their lives were back then. They have actors in character at different locations throughout the plantation telling you of the history.

I love this place

We had my sons 3rd grade field trip to Plimoth Plantation today. What a great experience! All of the actors answered all of our questions,the volunteers were very helpful and extremely knowledgeable.The animals are so adorable very well taken care of!I cannot recommend this place enough, there is even a tiny house thats just for little kids to play in. Very cute!

This visit was very disappointing. We were charged full price, but there were only a few female (housewife) actors staffing the buildings. We realize that Covid-19 has affected this historical site, but the presentations really lacked enthusiasm. All the actors who did jobs were missing. I haven’t been here for 24 years, and my husband had never been there. So know before you go.

The place looked very historic and cool. The one problem is that the tickets to get in were not cheap. It was 15 dollars for per person and for the Mayflower, the plantation and the grind mill would cost you around 40 bucks.

What a great exhibit. I had feared that I would be disappointed but happily, I wasnt. Everyone should visit. The actors were quick and played characters very well. Some restoration is underway but not a deterrent to the surroundings.

Beautiful place, but not for $32

It is an amazing place to visit I went here when I was in 7th grade. It was Friday Field Trip.

The place was really interesting and shows how life was 300-400 years ago. Its beautiful nature and something Ill never forget. I definitely recommend this if you wanna have a fun learning experience on life back on the prairie.

Very cool. Nice educational experience. The actors are knowledgable of the history and played their parts very well. Wish there are more exhibits, a little too expensive. Friendly staff.

This would have been a great experience if you could experience it fully. We paid full price, and got maybe half of what you pay for. We got to tour 2 or 3 buildings out of approximately 8 or 9. And only got to hear 2 people talk about the history. We had 7 adults and 3 children. All of us were disappointed with the whole thing. I would suggest everyone wait until this covid thing is over or they lower the prices while its happening.

It was Awesome!!Worth every penny

If you are lucky enough to be in the area and get a reservation, you can have Thanksgiving dinner with the pilgrims. Oh, it is not your typical Thanksgiving dinner. The waiters and waitresses act and talk like the pilgrims did and no nothing of modern conveniences. It is a trip worth taking.

Beautiful place to spend time back in 1627, enjoyed my time with all excellent people working there on historic grounds. Very educative and well maintained old homes, must be seen if you are interested in history of America ...

Great educational fun for all ages. Especially fun if you brush up a little on your history before coming so that you can engage with the period actors, none of whom break character. Highly recommend!!

Really nice simulation of both Pilgrim and native American life in New England in the 1600s. $38 for Adults. The Mayflower is not in Plymouth now, not sure when it will be back.

This was such a cool place with a great deal of history behind it. The live action actors really makes this place shine!

This place was so great! I learned so much about how the Native Americans and Pilgrims lived during their times. Everything was so accurate and authentic. The staff and actors were so nice and answered all of our questions. There were even fun activities that people could join! They had a big military training in the middle of the village for everyone to watch/join. They all carried big, long poles that were supposed to be spears and were taught the positions of how to hold the spear. Great, fun place to go!

A must see! It was such a great outdoor museum and experience! The weather wasnt great but we still had a great view from atop the hill of the entire village. I wish the Wampanoag exhibit was larger, which we visited first, but still great experience. The staff that are playing the part of pilgrims and Indians did a great job and were great about answering questions.

This experience was very educational. It was interesting to see how the pilgrams lived and the plantation itself was beautiful. It reminded me of a shrine

Fun spot for kids and adults alike.

Although the entire village is not the original settlement, it was recreated well and it was great to walk through the park and see Native American settlement and a 17th century village of first immigrants. There are some actors in the village who were dressed like people of those times and who you could ask questions and talk about life happening on your particular visit date. Really cool place to visit for all history lovers!

Really talented people that made the plantation come alive and take you back in time. The true efforts and focus on researched details was noticeable. All ages can enjoy. Took me about 2 hours to see the whole park at a leisurely stroll asking questions to each of the role players.

Such an amazing place. It’s like you stepped out of a time machine! The staff and historians who run Plimoth Plantation are do dedicated to preserving where we started as a civilization! They have preserved our history so well. This is a must for everyone to visit, experience and see how we as a country started on this soil. How we lived, without running water, electricity, basic amenities is one thing. To really understand how we survived the first winter and why the Mayflower landed here is another! Go visit this incredible gem! It’s perfect for all ages, all levels of history buffs and anyone who is curious what it was like in 1620!!!

Great interactive program. Very light attendance but excellent participation by staff.

The Plymouth Plantation is doing an outstanding job of adapting to life with Covid. I have gone twice this month, once for the cinema and second to visit the village. The cinema experience was great; yummy fresh popcorn, marked seating with single use coverings, and lovely to get the immersive theater feel that directors want viewers to receive. The village had new features (Mua? A native shelter where pilgrims and natives had exchanged goods a bit later than the 1627 time period presented by role players) a pallisade? Fenced animal grazing central to village. The paths were dotted with hand sanitition stations and benches for resting. Role players (funny in masks) were carrying personal voice amplifiers. Several were roaming in modern gear and name badges to identify as curators, but the actors were still numerous and in character. I always learn new things when we visit and enjoy the cafe and gift shops. Dont stay away- youll be missing out!

It was awesome. At Plymouth Plantation, there were real Wompanoag Native Americans who you could talk with and ask questions. They told us all about their tribal traditions and practices. There was also a replica of a middle english village with historical actors in period dress who spoke as if they were living in that time period. They were all extremely knowledgable and I learned a lot.

Fasinating history. I loved the reenactors. It really brought the past to life.

Great place to learn history and a fun day.

Great museum with actors representing historical roles. They are quite knowledgeable. Artefacts include wooden homes, tools, furniture, garden and even a livestock.Free EV charging station in the parking lot.

Its an interesting stop for history buffs. As it expands, it will become amazing.

Cool, but not necessarily worth the $40.

I really recommend visiting this and learn plus experience the history of settlers. The actors are very good at staying in role and you get a real good feel for what it was like living in a settlement back then. Very rich experience for adults as well as kids.

Must see. Everyone forgets the 1600s and the native Americans. This is an important part of history that we need to be reminded about and see

A wonderful excursion on any afternoon. Very educational.

Really great experience for adults and kids. Was not super impressed with the Native American piece, but Pilgrim part was amazing, as were the actors in that section

What a wonderful way to learn about history! The people in character were excellent and very willing to talk for as long as we wanted to. Additionally, they were very knowledgeable. The Plantation structures and homes were fascinating and going inside was like stepping back into the history. Great way to spend the day!

What a fun and educational place to visit. It doesnt matter if you are on a field trip or a date; take a stroll back through time and explore these authentic looking recreations of what it was like to live in the 1600s. The low roofs, dirt floors, and open fire pits will astound you, and give a new appreciation for life in the 21st century.

Theres so much to learn and not enough time to learn it. Thoroughly enjoyable for all ages. You can see how the Pilgrims lived day to day, and you can watch the indians making canoes, tanning hides and cooking. An excellent experience to learn and remember for years to come.

Took a detour to visit this place. I’ve heard so many good things about it and I was not disappointed! I loved the attention to detail and all of the great information provided by the actors. I’m also a HUGE fan of the Thanksgiving-type meal they offered in their cafeteria! Man alive, just looking at the photo of it is making my mouth water!

I’m from New England, my husband is not. I went here as a kid so I figured “hey, he might like this, let’s make a day of it.” And so we did.I totally understand we’re still in the midst of a pandemic and businesses are required to abide by state restrictions/regulations in order to operate. Wearing masks, social distancing, roping off areas that would normally see high traffic – all make sense and are perfectly reasonable requirements/actions.What wasn’t reasonable was continuing to charge full price for admission ($32) even though a large portion of the exhibits were closed/roped off. We had no idea we wouldn’t be able to walk into huts or houses to view things.I think it would’ve been nice if they were like “Due to the pandemic and limited access to exhibits and other areas we are discounting standard admission tickets.” Even if they made the fact that a decent number of areas would be roped off and inaccessible more blatant to their walk-in visitors it would’ve been fair. We just felt cheated.Also! If I am mistaken and $32 is less than the normal gen admission price or if the areas I’ve mentioned are normally [pre-pandemic] roped-off then please let me know and I’ll take this review down immediately. Otherwise, my advice to anyone thinking about going right now: hold-off until things are...back to the way they were?

There are so many better ways to spend your precious time and money in Cape Cod!

This place is okay but very overpriced (paid $30 per adult, $18 for daughter). Also, definitely not made for people with walking disabilities (as one might expect, but why disability parking and wheelchair rental then?). They drive you around with a golf cart, and the personnel is very friendly, but the gravel and sand make it impossible to use the standard wheelchair they provide. I would say use the money you made from ticket sales and invest it in a few off-road wheelchairs.

One of my favorite travel experiences. The people in the villages are fascinating to speak with, and provide a level of immersion that brings history alive. Tremendously edifying and fascinating.

Interesting historical reenactment of the time the first settlers arrived. The local Indians and guides on site bring a good interactive spirit to the experience. The overall campus is not that large, and not that well maintained, so in our view the entrance fee is too high, specially considering that no student discount is provided.

Great place for day trip. This is a live museum. We enjoyed it and also got history of May flower and early settlers.

Loved the experience of actually hearing from a native at the Indian village. It was also fun talking to the role players at the English village.

Absolutely great experience. The Mayor, Bradford, was very responsive and told great stories. We really enjoyed our dinner and are so happy that we were able to experience this.

Well maintained, interesting, informative, and the staff go out of the way to make it fun.

This place was wonderful for my nine year old son. The people were in character at all times.Perfect.

History comes alive at Plimouth Plantation. You can wander through displays of artifacts from the 17th century which is interesting but not the best part. The villages where native Americans and the Pilgrims are represented was fascinated. You can see how people lived and survived in the wilderness. Everyone will enjoy interacting with the character actors who do a great job representing the time period.

Beautiful and educational. Very informative and nice staff. The kids loved it. We could have easily spent more time there.
