I have heard of Plimouth Plantation for years and finally visited it with my family. What a great experience!-- informative, well designed, attention getting, and thought provoking. The Native village was inhabited by authentically dressed actors performing typical activities of the 17th century-- including shelter building, farming, fire building, and family care. They responded to questions in with present tense... more

I am not surprised at the variation of reviews since when we were there there were clearly people who didn't get the idea of the experience-whether they did not attend the orientation, are too used to being entertained or what I was unable to tell. I have been going to Plimouth Plantation since 1976 and last week was my 8th... more

Educational and fun. We liked the native area best as it was easier to find out more from the staff than the settler site as in the latter area most of them spent all there effort on staying in character and had little to spare for chat . The combination ticket was great value as it is valid for two... more

We enjoyed our visit, but it's easy to see the why the reviews for this attraction are so varied. We've visited a number of historical villages across the US and this was our favourite. Your experience really depends on how many questions you ask and the attitude of the role players. If you're with kids you must encourage them to... more

We went last Saturday and wow, what a disappointment! I thought that 48 bucks (2 people) was far too much for what we saw. The Homesite was horrible; the Native People were rude and I felt like I was intruding. I was actually quite excited because I thought I would gain real insight. They had no desire to speak to... more

I went for a second time to Plimouth Plantation last week and it was very good. My first time there was last year during a weekend and I think that there are more pilgrims and native people then during weekdays. It is a well organize place for groups, like teachers and children especially for children who are studying history. For... more

My husband is a big History Channel buff (and we are in our late 20s), so he was very excited to be visiting the site he saw on their show about Thanksgiving. You can buy a combo ticket which includes admission to the Mayflower II for a discount (I recommend this). The tour starts with a video, it is mostly... more

You can get discount combined admissions to the plantation and the Mayflower at the info center or either of the 2 attractions. The plantation has different areas connected by sandy walk ways or a wooden nature path-this a short path but has several stairs and would not be easy for someone with problems climbing stairs. Expect to spend around 3... more

Just got finished telling a friend who is planning a trip to New England this summer, don't bother with Plimoth Plantation, especially with small children in strollers! The Colonial village is interesting but, if its a rainy day,(like the day of my visit in July) its hard to get into and out of those small homes. The colonial staff was... more
