Inspired by our child's reading of "Pilgrim Boy," we made the Mayflower II our first stop in Plymouth. It was a fantastic experience for the whole family! The friendly staff was eager to share their knowledge about the ship and answer our questions.

We spent about half an hour exploring the Mayflower II. Compared to my busier visit on Thanksgiving, this time was much more enjoyable. The volunteers and staff were incredibly helpful, bringing the history of the ship to life. Stepping aboard felt like a time capsule, transporting us back to the Pilgrims' voyage.

The Mayflower II's size was surprising – it's hard to imagine over 100 people living on this ship! This experience made us appreciate the basic necessities we often take for granted. The crew and volunteers were fantastic, readily answering our questions and engaging in conversation.

While parking might be a challenge, there are options within a short walk. Overall, the Mayflower II is a short but enlightening exhibit. It's a powerful reminder of the hardships faced by the Pilgrims and the ingenuity required for their journey.
