July 10, 2011: Here are the hours and the ticket prices of Plimoth Plantation and the Mayflower as of July 2011. Considering I have 3 kids under the age of 6, I can appreciate the fact that they don't charge anything for kids under six.
The Mayflower II. The original Mayflower is long gone, but this is a replica of the ship that helped the British flee religious persecution in 1620. Very fun for kids to explore.
And no trip to Plymouth is complete without seeing Plymouth Rock. The rock is located in Pilgrim Park, a great park lined with benches and paths that sits right next to the water. Boat rides are also available.
Plimoth Plantation is made to resemble what life was like approximately one year after the Mayflower docked and the ship's inhabitants were greeted by the Wamponoag Indians. You can visit the Wamponoag Homesite, the English Villiage and interact with the "Indians" and "the English."
Verdict: Well, as you can see, it wasn't Thanksgiving when we were here, but it was a beautiful summer day, so I enjoyed it all the same! Do you have to necessarily pay the $25 to see Plimoth Plantation or the $10 to explore the inside of the Mayflower? Well, no. But should you see Plymouth, see the Rock, the Ship (replica from the outside), soak in the town of "where it all happened." Well, yes!
