Mystic Seaport

Great spot! A lot of interesting history. . Nice place to spend a few hours on our way from Boston to NJ. Also had a pub on site. Great for families and couples

Great spot. Lots of little shops and places to eat. Don't forget to hit up Mystic Pizza!

Mystic Seaport is a lot of fun. You could easily spend an entire day there There are several different parts to visit including going on a whaling boat and inside a lighthouse. Throughout the day there are events such as harpooning and rope making. It is on the expensive side and the price can quickly add up if you want to take a boat ride, visit the planetarium, or participate in craft making.

Hours of fun for the whole family! Take a trip back to the 19 century and enjoy learning and seeing many things. You can explore old ships, learn about the smith shop, take a carriage ride, and many other things. Buy the mystic passport and gain admission to the aquarium also and get your receipt validated and return again within a few days.

If you like maritime history there is no better place to go. This place is huge and can easily take also day or even several. Good for adults and children.

Such fun! We brought the family (kids 7-13) and they all had a great time. The enjoyed the village, with various shops and trades, and getting to see how things were done; all the staff were very knowledgable with info to share, and answered our questions. The demonstration on board the ships were very cool to watch and they let the kids help with hoisting a sail. The kids loved playing the old-timey Games on the Green (they kept asking to go back) and building a toy ship. It was. museum and very informative (I learned a lot about whaling and living back in the day) and the kids had fun while learning. I liked that we could come and go (we went back to our hotel for homemade lunch) without a reentry fee of any kind, and free parking!

Quaint little town, great for a quick stop or extended stay. We just stopped in for dinner, but it was worth the side trip and we could see ourselves coming back to stay in a local hotel.

Set on 19 acres of historic grounds, the Mystic Seaport Museum and Village sits on the west bank of the Mystic River in the heart of town. Great for kids and adults alike, the museum features rotating gallery exhibits, an operational shipyard, original 19th century ship cabin and more.

We think a visit here is one of the best things to do in Mystic, CT!

We were just driving through on a trip up the coast in early November. If it was warmer and we had more time to spend I could see this being a neat spot to explore and just hang out in.
