My family really enjoyed this experience. My kids all loved climbing to the lower levels of the ship! They were able to navigate the steep steps well at ages 5, 7 and 10, but younger children or people with disabilities may not be able to access the lower levels. The guides on board were knowledgeable and fun to talk with. No food or drink allowed in the ship area. Masks were required for the museum building (there were some provided at the door). Bathrooms were available inside. The museum didn't really hold my kids' interest, but it's hard to stay excited inside when there's a ship outside!

Museum staff were really welcoming and new their stuff. It's well worth a visit if you are in the area and want to brush up on naval history, but the importance of the area to the nation. There are regular tours of the constitution, given by the crew themselves. This gives a great insight to what it would have been like aboard the ship. There's some pretty special views of the city from there too.

Two historic US Navy ships on the Freedom Trail and a cool nautical museum in the Charlestown Navy Yard. Don't forget your camera! Take a ferry over, it's a nice trip across Boston harbor. Bring lunch and sit on the lawn and people watch. Visit the ships and museum and learn something new. The USS CONSTITUTION fires a cannon every morning at 8am and at sunset. That's awesome in itself.

Great open air museum! Great view of the bay and Boston! Historical site showing the history of the American Navy. Self-guided frigate tour and enjoy the ocean breeze!👏👍

Free tour of history, your tax dollars at work! The oldest commissioned warship still in service. Staffed by active duty sailors in period costume providing great information. Was my Father's Day request to visit and even the teenager appreciated it!

This located in several areas of Boston.First there is the old north church in the north end next to the Italian district.as well as Paul Revere house in the Italian district.Across the river is The Bunker Hill monument just above Charlestown.Also included is the USS Constitution on the river with its massively tall wooden masks.There is so much history to Boston especially the colonial and revolutionary War sites.Bunker hill is a beautiful site on top of a hill with a lot of history. And the old north church has the old lanterns from Paul Revere's ride to warn of the British troops that were coming. Lots of great history if you or your family is interested.

Absolutely awesome experience! The city is full of history. We walked the freedom trail, which really is so easy to follow. Walking allows you to see every thing up close. You can stop along the way to sit on a bench and absorb your surroundings as well a find a place for a drink or food. Locals were so helpful and friendly.

The park is pretty interesting from historical perspective, you can find a lot of useful information here about the wharf about the ships about the revolution and experienced a lot of that, I think it's a pretty interesting experience both for kids and for adults and I highly recommend it while you are in Boston

I parked at the Boston Commons which was easy to get into and out of. It brings you right up into a park at the beginning of Independence Trail. Following the trail was extremely easy with well marked path and locations of each historical site. Grab one of the pamphlets available at one of the visitor centers and follow the trail. Boston is very nice town and quite friendly. The USS Constitution was the highlight of the trip. The line to see the Liberty Bell was over an hour long but you can go around the side and see it through glass with no wait.

Currently (as of October 2023), along the dry dock, there is an outdoor exhibit of statues. Nice art stroll after visiting the USS Constitution and museum.

so so fun!! had a dry dock and info about naval history, as well as a really cool historical ship (old ironsides)!! definitely don't miss this stop on the freedom trail!

A lot of history here. Everyone should go see Old Ironsides for themselves. USS Constitution built in 1797 still floats. Super cool to see!

Absolutely worth the trip. Free admission to the USS Constitution ship. It is an active US Navy ship crewed by Navy personnel. Be prepared for to have ID and be safety checked for weapons. No pocket knives and such. The crew members encourage questions. Enjoy!

(Translated by Google) It's one of the places I'm going to take to my family When I get to Boston (Original) Es uno de los sitios que voy a llevar a mi familia Cuando me llegue a Boston

This was a great trip! If you can go, go! The Freedom Trail was easy to follow. Lots of things to see and do! The restaurants and pubs are a must!

Super interesting historical exhibits and informative tour guides. Make sure to bring cash if you want to buy some of the really cool USS Constitution memorabilia. There is an ATM a few minutes walk away if you need to pull some out.

We stopped here to visit the USS Constitution. Loved it! Make sure to stop here when in Boston.

It was great to walk around this old city and to see how life was back in the 1700s.

Incredible stop . Interesting to learn about historic ship and listen to the stories about its colorful service record. Meeting the new captain was a highlite of the adventure. All the crewmembers we met were anxious to tell us about all the different things we saw. Very interactive and a must see stop in town.

Great place to explore, travel, and learn. Many many places to go, learn about history, and explore tangable tours. We visited the Navy ships and USS Constitution ship while also going through the museum. Gift shop inside as well.

Had a great afternoon looking at historical ships. It was a great open area, easy to get to and view everything. The ferry docks here so you can arrive and depart by several ways. We did not ride the ferry. It would have been nice if they had some shaded seating areas. They did have a water mist for the heat.

What a great experience. The "Tall Ships" come to Michigan every summer but none are open to tours. Just amazing to see and hard to believe choosing the life of a sailor back then. Must stop destination if ever visiting Boston.

Great place to visit and learn about USS Constitution and tour it. The ships were free to enter. Great history lesson. Clean and quite beautiful on the Yard. Beautiful visitor center with great gift shop and facilities.

stablished in 1974, this 43-acre national park consists of eight historically significant sites that illustrate the events that led to the American Revolution in 1776 and the founding and growth of the United States. The historic properties include the Old South Meeting House, the Old State House, Faneuil Hall, the Paul Revere House, and the Old North Church in Downtown Boston; the Bunker Hill Monument in Charlestown; a portion of the Boston (Charlestown) Navy Yard including the USS Constitution; and, Dorchester Heights in South Boston Boston National Historical Park features two visitor centers -- one located downtown in Faneuil Hall, and the other at the Boston Navy Yard.

Period dressed guide for Freedom Trail was awesome and self guided tours of many historical buildings along the way great too. Also the Hop on Hop off city bus tours has informative drivers.

Wonderful visit the Friday before New Year’s. Had to drag my daughter away. Spent 3+ hours between the NPS, the USS Constitution and the Museum. School vacation week activities the kids made ornaments, rope, coloring pages, etc.

Great shipyard! USS Constitution is still manned by active duty sailors and Marines. There’s also a destroyer from WW2. Enjoy a little mini golf while you’re visiting! They closed the ship to visitors while we were there because of weather, but we enjoyed the museum.

beautiful

Very cool place. Staff is very helpful and friendly.

This is one of the best parks my wife and I have been to.

(Translated by Google) Incredible historical place (Original) Increíble lugar histórico

Great place to visit and it's free! We were able to walk through 3 levels of the USS Constitution. Amazing site to see!

The old house!!!

(Translated by Google) Very beautiful place!!! (Original) Lugar muito bonito!!!

We had a wonderful time exploring the various stops on the Freedom Trail. We spent three days and wish we had more time. The area is rich in history, with friendly and helpful Bostonians, and located in a clean city where we felt safe. If you would like to learn more about the history of the Revolutionary War period this is the place to go. There are other fun things to do in the area too, making this a great place for a vacation. Helpful hint: stay just outside of central Boston to save money on hotel rooms and take advantage of the reasonably priced, clean and well organized subway system. After the first day we were navigating it like pros. Try to get a subway map from your hotel for a quick reference to keep in your pocket.

Amazing

So much History here especially with the US. Constitution . You can board and see all levels of this great Ship. Excellent museum and tourist center. So much history . If your in Boston please visit here.

It's exceptional for NPS to attribute this park in the national historical title. The entire park includes a wide range of locations from downtown Boston to Charlestown across the river. Especially having all these commercial retails, office buildings, and residents' neighborhoods, it's a remarkable amount of work to manage and maintain the whole park as one unity. It's just once again honor the history and American liberal spirit.

Great to walk the Freedom Trail. Seasonal and COVID closures were highly disappointing. Boston was clean and beautiful

Kinda nice place if you are not city guy.

Old gold

I work thete

Beautiful

If u want to learn about history come to this beautiful place

Boston national park is historical park in Boston down town

Great place to visit only problem is this virus they've got limited hours they're only open from Thursday through Sunday go Navy. Wife took some great pictures of the old Ironside

Great experience so close to home! A park representative was available the entire time at the base of the building. The traverse up for the building is a healthy one and one should be ready to make the required steps without a break. Everything is free. Great time. Great view.

The tour of USS Constitution was amazing, I think there is one every half an hour or an hour. Learned a lot. Though it was still required to wear masks everywhere and it’s museum was not really good at all. Still I recommend to visit since it is an important landmark and free to visit.

The museum was pretty cool. Very informative and my teens seemed to enjoy themselves. We all had a good time on board the constitution. This is a great way to experience some American history.

Boston USA is a really beautiful city. A must do is the Freedom trail that runs from the centre of Boston out to the Bunker Hill memorial. Also worth a visit is the USS Constitution, free to visit, closed on Mondays.

This is a really special treat. This museum/ park site containing the USS Constitution is a must see. The ship has a sense of importance as you pass through metal detectors and a welcome center orientating you. The ship itself it gorgeous. So much of the original ship and materials are there for you to touch and see. The sailors are super knowledgeable and can tell you so much about the history of the ship. The ship is such an important part of US Military history, it's so neat that they've preserved it for generations to see.

We do love this park a lot. Till next time with you guys!

Great place to have a relaxing stroll on an old naval dockyard. Well maintained, clean and makes you want to board a ship to sail the seven seas! Let the Adventures begin...

My experience there is going to the State Street Orange Line station. It is a train station. It's not the worst train station I've been to in my life.

It was a really nice, interactive museum. There were some games for kids. My son was very happy they have one of those penny squishing machines. Those things make great inexpensive souvenirs! It was a nice museum, but the ship and it's history was amazing!

Awesome way to spend the day exploring while getting a little history lesson as well. Follow the 2.5 mile trail and see how Paul Revere warned the city! Easy walk and you can finish across the bridge over by the USS Constitution museum and catch a water taxi back to Battle Wharf where the Coast Guard is stationed!

The USS Constitution was interesting to see. The museum had a lot if information. The li e was long to get on the ship because of covid-19. They are o ly al I ng a certain amount of people on at a time.

If you go to Boston you have to go to Faneuil Hall, it is such a great piece of history.

If I wasn't born and raised in Boston I'd be in pressed

Culture rich and enjoyable way to learn our Nation's history

Loved it

Love the atmosphere, people friendly. Felt safe.

Great place to spend with your family.

Go Navy!

Quick walk through a destroyer.

I love Boston National Historical Park !! People here are so kind and the galleries are beautiful !! :) I have been here 20 times !!

Follow the Freedom Trail for a history lesson on the American Revolution

(Translated by Google) Beautiful city, it is engraved in my heart, thank you love, for fulfilling your promise to take me to Massachusetts, that night at that party, I remember that you and I told me one day we will visit that place, while we dance to Massachusetts of the Bee Gee, from there So far 47 years have passed, I couldn't hold back crying once we got to Boston and see your promise and my dream come true, it's never too late, I keep chasing my dreams. (Original) Ciudad hermosa ,queda grabada en mi corazón,gracias amor, por cumplir tu promesa de llevarme a Massachusetts ,esa noche en aquella fiesta ,recuerdo que me dijiste tu y yo algún dia visitaremos ese lugar, mientras bailamos Massachusetts de los Bee Gee , de ahí hasta ahora pasaron 47 años, no pude contener el llanto una vez que llegamos a Boston y ver tu promesa y mi sueño realizado, nunca es tarde ,sigo persiguiendo mis sueños.

I was working in the Constitution dry dock.

The North Church is beautiful, the significance of the two lanterns in the belfry to signify Paul Revere's Ride.
