It is so neat to be able to stand in a replica of the Mayflower. This is so interesting and informative. I loved imagining what it might have been like taking a trip across the sea at that time.
Fun and fascinating.Beautiful ship....hard to believe the history behind this replica and the original.A proud part of today's Plymouth!Much historical information about the Pilgrims......Worth the trip.Many photo ops on and off ship.
The Mayflower II exhibit allows you to explore the ship freely and talk with the actors on board who pretend to be from the 1600s. The actors provided much of the information themselves, so curious visitors are required to interact with them rather than reading displays (although there are a few of those, as well). As at Plimouth Plantation, the visit is what you make of it, although there isn't quite as much to see and do on the Mayflower II.
Have visited Plymouth and one the goals was to see this attraction. Can't understand why, but the boat was available to be visited only paying a fee. The day I have been there, December 25th, it was closed...
I was with a group of teachers that was at Plimoth Plantation in the morning and then here in the afternoon. It was nice being down at the waterfront, touring the boat, seeing Plymouth Rock (there is a really interesting story about it being moved and broken), and experiencing Plimoth Plantation. There were costumed people on the ship to talk with you and the ship is equipped with sleeping cots, food items, etc. I have been on Columbus ships and it was interesting to note how much narrower these are. We really enjoyed our visit to the waterfront here. This area is definitely worth a day to people who enjoy history.
It is being renovated so please call ahead to see when it will be returned to it's dock. It's a great piece of history and I am sure it will be FANTASTIC when finished but they have temporarily moved it to a different location.
we didn't go on this but could see so much of it and it was very interesting to see all the aspects of it and picture the people traveling on it.
moving to Plymouth we have had the opportunity to take friends visiting to the Mayflower II. I have found it very well presented, and extremely educational. I learn something new every time I go.
This was our final stop at Plymouth and was well worth seeing. The ship is in excellent condition and the crew kept in character explaining the ship and voyage. It is a great stop for any age.
It was very interesting to see the ship and it was very informative. My son enjoyed walking around in the boat and reading all the info about the ship. The Plymouth Waterfront is beautiful and it's worth a trip to see.
