Plimoth Plantation Review

Amazing place to visit! Only recommendation for people is, check the weather before going. Especially in the hot months! I ve noticed it gets very warm there, also very humid! But otherwise the plantation is awesome and amazing! 100% recommend visiting!

A must see for any visit, very interesting and the staff do an excellent job playing their roles.

Loved visiting Plimoth Plantation! All of the actors are in character and you can ask them anything! Very true interactive living history museum! What an incredible way to learn about our history and see how people lived back then. Super authentic and very accurate representation. Worth every penny. We didn't arrive in time, so we only got to see half of the plantation. I will definitely be back!

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

Learned a lot. Loved. The recreation of the homes.

Authentic recreation of 16th century plantation and Indian village

Plimoth plantation has two cinemas. They show an excellent array of films as well as great popcorn. A very cosy venue.

Amazing experience. Everyone must go once in their life.

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

Really great spot for the family. Staff is really great at explaining what life was like for the pilgrims. Kids loved it!

This was one of the coolest places we have visited. The plantation is broke down into separate areas such as the crafters building ( where you met crafters from the 1700's such as a potter, a candle maker, a baker, and a weaver), the natives village (where you met real native americans who explained life of the natives during the 1700's), the pilgrims area ( this area of the plantation truly transports you back in time, here you meet people who dress and speak as if they are living in the 1700's, they know nothing of modern time so you have to becareful what you ask of them). We spent 3 hours here and could have spent probably another hour or two.

Bus tour of the Eastern coast. Plimoth plantation was my favorite part of a fantastic trip. We spoke with a young lady who transported us back in time. Highly reccomend time here.
We just got back from a 10 day

The place is very nice and I really liked walking through the exhibits. They really immerse you in a wampanoag village and the english colonial town. It was built with the same techniques the people's back then would've used as well. However the best thing about this place is the staff. The wampanoag village staff are all members of the tribe who know a lot and are very interesting to talk to. The english town's 'settlers' were the absolute best. They all talked like they were living there at the time and when you questioned them they all had a very detailed life story and it was fascinating to learn why certain people came and how the contracts of the stock company worked. I highly encourage everyone to ask as many questions as possible since they love answering and one can learn so much.

Loved this. The actors were brilliant and gave you a good picture of how life would have been. Made me re-think what I thought I knew about the history of this event. Would highly recommend it.

Go back in time to see how they lived in early America.

Really had a good time exploring the Plantation. Very educational.

There is a lot to be said about re-enacting....gives you a peak into history with the benefit of full experience! Wish I could sign up for a part.

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

Very good place to bring groups to, plenty of parking

I have visited 3 times and have never been impressed. Many of the historical interpreters just don't seem to be into it.

Visited the week before thanksgiving during a cold snap. The trail was easy enough for our hiking stroller for the kids to take a break from the cold in.
The staff was energetic and made it a great experience despite the fact that they were probably freezing!
Everyone took time to explain what they were doing. I know it is their job, but they seemed to genuinely enjoy teaching and sharing. We had a 3 and 5 year old with us, and they adjusted their lessons to help the little ones stay engaged and understand.
We learned a lot and are eager to come back as the kids get older!

Learn about our history the way it was back then the way of the pilgrims who helped shape us to what we are know technically. Fun for the whole family

Amazing! Everyone gets into their character with costumes and accents. Valuable and entertaining information was given at each station. Spent 4 hours here.

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.

We came on a day when it was a sunny 90+ day and I would strongly suggest coming on a cooler day. The in character actors were not as fascinating or as numerous or as informative as I remember from my youth, but the Native American representative was great.

Good to get an idea how the pilgrims and natives lived. It seemed to me that the ticket price is a bit high.

What a great spot to learn about American history. Role play and very thoughtful layout.

If I had a word to describe it...Underwhelming. For the steep price of 30$ per person not worth the experience. The few individuals we did encounter were very knowledgeable and stayed in character but some of he individuals did not interact at all or even seemed to avoid us. Quite a bit of construction happening made this experience inauthentic, we were only told of some minor construction happening only after we purchased our ticket. We were not informed of this prior to which would allow us to make a decision whether or not to proceed. I m not sure why this was highly rated but maybe we just went at a bad time, since they are not in season and just happen to catch everyone on a bad day. The one thing that was the saving grace of the experience was the fresh bread we purchased.. it was a cranberry pecan bread and fresh cookies!! Delicious. The gentleman working the counter was very nice as well. Everything else was mediocre at best.

Tons of history. We had a blast. Teachers get store discounts!

Just awesome!!! Reenactors were fantastic and very enjoyable to speak with. I'd love to go back next time I'm in Plymouth. I might skip the water front and grist mill next time.

I can't say enough about this place. A destination in itself, it's completely worth the trip to Plymouth. Start here, before exploring Revolutionary Boston, or heading to the Cape. The staff are historians, anthropologists and museum specialists. They are so knowledgeable and approachable. Imagine if you could go to your favourite museum and have everything explained to you by an expert? That's what happens at Plimouth Plantation. The Wapanoag Homesite is where the story begins, and the interpreters there, almost all from local First Nations communities are very gracious in answering questions and explaining what their ancestors way of like would have been like. The Craft Building is amazing (and blessedly air conditioned). The pottery and hat making demonstrations were so informative. The English Village was an eye opener. The Palisades, the gardens, the houses, the dress and furniture - this is really well done, and the interpreters stay true to character and are wonderfully informative. I could spend a whole day just here, not even seeing the Grist Mill or the rock. There is also a beautiful wedding and reception facility here, that is stunning. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!!!!

Interesting Recreation of Plimouth Settlement
Enjoyed the museum and the recreated Pilgrim settlement and the local American Native structures. Informative and enjoyable afternoon excursion.

Totally fascinating and a must see for everyone regardless of whether you live in the US or elsewhere. The actors that enrich the experience were outstanding. Well versed in their stories and incredibly entertaining. My only concern is that the role of the native Americans is rather downplayed and given that more than 100K of them inhabited the area when the immigrants arrived and literally drove them off their land, their position should be better explained and they should receive more importance in this setting.

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.

Great historical site. People are so polite and educated. Time goes so fast while you are here. We spent 3 hours here and loved every minute of it!

It's interesting, but I've been to a much better example of this kind of living museum at blists Hill, Ironbridge. It was unfortunate that our visit coincided with about 10 school trips, but I don't feel it was good value with the prices we were charged, not a cheap day out at all, it didn't hold the kids attention for more than an hour.

Visited the Plimoth because entry was included in the Boston go card. Pleasant walk through history

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 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.

Very interesting museum. However, the entrance fee for the size of the museum is not justified.

Second visit, last time was 23 years ago. Little more commercial.

My family and I were beyond excited about Plimoth Plantation. Everything seemed disingenuous. The actors basically ignored us throughout the walk. Unless we chatted with them first they worked on their project and never looked up. It didn't help that we visited the same time that 200+ middle school kids were running around for a field trip. There was only one person in the craft shop. It's a neat place but it's not worth the high ticket price. Williamsburg does this perfectly!

Really nice place to spend the day if you're at all interested in pre-colonial American history, or the history of settlement of the East Coast. Very engaging, lots of things to watch and do. The wooded grounds are beautiful. There is a bit of walking to do but the paths are broad and well-maintained with handrails in many places. It is a Living Museum so you will have a much better experience and learn a lot more if you take the time to interact with the reenactors. On the Native American side they're all native peoples going about the life they would have lived in that Village. in the English Village there are reenactors living the lives of actual historical occupants of the homes and the original settlement as well as modern-day docents who can interact with you from a more modern perspective.

Highly recommended. The entry fee for two adults and two elementary school children was just under $100 but a ticket is good for two consecutive days. After spending four hours there I would still love to go back tomorrow and spend more time interacting with people on site.

Amazing!!! If you like interactive museums, definitely go to this!!

Not my type of fun it not bad though. Just a lot of standing up and asking questions.

Wonderful living museum. There were people dressed in costume who answered questions and spoke in character, and others who had name tags who would answer questions and speak with you as museum docents. There are multiple exhibits that you walk through and multiple demonstrations ( such as musket firing, pottery making, etc). Everyone was very friendly and helpful. It's a great experience for kids and adults, perfect for families looking to learn some interesting history!

I loved wandering the streets of this authentic recreation of Plymouth. An enlightening experience talking to the period dressed players who authentically play the original settlers.

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

The whole plantation is quite small and cost 28usd for adults, but the workers there dressed in the costumes and tell "their own" stories of hundreds of years ago. If you like the style, be sure you have 2h+ time and you are willing to ask in all kinds of weird ways.

Great historical replica of the Plymouth colony. Feels like it's 1620.

The historical village was neat, lots to see here. Spent a few hours walking around and talking to the colonists and native American actors.

Authentic recreation of life of Native Americans and the Mayflower settlers.

I cannot say enough great things about this place. It was fascinating for this history lover. I really enjoyed seeing the replica homes and all of the people in character. It's a beautiful place, and a fun way to learn making it great for all ages. The views are even beautiful. I was not disappointed at all with this experience!

A good trip through history and the hardships Native Americans and early settlers endured.

Everyone, at least once in their life, should visit Plimoth Plantation. It was a wonderful experience.

First Class. The docents were all so excellent at their work.

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.

Excellent place to find out all about the Pilgrims. Especially like the 17th Century Village

Great for all ages, I went here with my Dad after visiting the Cape to kill some time during rush hour traffic.

Very informative exhibits and I love that they employed actual Native Americans to offer information and insights into their culture.

We ended up staying late for a movie (Wind River) in their theater which did not disappoint.

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 it's happening.

It was spelled Plimoth because that's old English..... -_-

The staff really help you feel as if you have gone back in time to 1627, we had a wonderful 3 Generation visit.

Cool Native American american homestead with a look at how pilgrims lived when they first got here

Terrain is not friendly for older folks

We just visited this two weeks ago on Canadian Thanksgiving to experience the so called origin of Thanksgiving place and the English settlers/pilgrims life in 17th century. The admission prices were a bit pricy and the Wampanoag native community part should have been more developed or set-up and better taken care of. It was quite enlightening for the kids to learn the dark side of English settlers' brutality with the Native Americans through conversations with the native community in the plantation.

The great place to go to in the spring or fall summer time we can get hot but it's just really fun to walk around with the kids and show them what time's used to be while only being 10 minutes from downtown Plymouth

Very interesting experience. The whole family loved it.
