My wife and I attended the 400th anniversary of the Pilgrim landing in Plymouth, Mass. The Mayflower recently completed 3 year rennovation/overhaul in Mystic, Conn. On August 10, 2020 it returned to it's former homeport after 3 years away. We were there to witness this historic event. Even the pandemic could not keep the small mask wearing crowd away. As many of you know I'm a disabled veteran that uses an electric wheelchair for local mobility. Plymouth is one of the most accessible locations I've ever been. The sidewalks all have curb breaks and the crosswalks are clearly marked. After 6 days of touring the historic sites I didn't encounter any accessible problems with traffic, restaurants and museums. We stayed at Hotel 1620 which is on Water Street. They are centrally located to everything. After 5 nights we didn't have to move our accessible van (except to go shopping at the grocery store and visit the Pilgrim Plantation). All restaurants had either a ramp for access or a lift. I highly recommend this location and all the local...

Nice, clean, scenic area. There are a lot of shoppes and yummy dining. The reason I give it 4 stars is the following: Parking is a pain and expensive. Expect to pay $2.00 an hour at each meter. They take quarters or credit card. There are lots that run on the same system in addition to street parking. Frustrating.

If you don't know the history of Plymouth rock (outside of the pilgrims landing) , learn it. What happened to the rock itself is fascinating. So when you see 'the rock' be prepared to be underwhelmed.

Everything is pricy. I expect as much in a touristy area, but the few activities that are available come with a $100 and up price tag, and that was just for our small family of 3. Even the historic sites are quite expensive. I come from the Philly area where you can visit a historic property for under $20 per person, just not the case here. I know it's their prerogative, but I review affordability and price vs. experience and value. It's just...

Travellers, this is a wonderful and tiny state park located right on the waterfront in downtown Plymouth. In a very small area compared to other state parks the department of recreation and conservation has packed a lot of sights to see. There is the famous Plymouth Rock, which is now surrounded by a viewing structure, and inaccessible to people. There is a full scale reproduction of the mayflower for touring. It really gives you a a sense of how difficult the journey was. Small space with everything including the farm animals for 66 days at sea. There is other things to do here. Lots of cute shops and delicious seafood restaurants. You can go whale watching from Plymouth as well. Walk around and take in the lovely views. There are homes in the area that date back to the 1640s as well as other interesting buildings and homes to see. Beaches in the area are lovely too. This is worth the visit. Check it out. We recommend.

TLDR lovely park lots...

There’s so much to see in Plymouth, MA. But if you find yourself on the Plymouth Waterfront with little kids, here are 5 things they (and you) will love doing: 1️⃣ Plymouth Rock: traditionally thought of as the place the Mayflower pilgrims disembarked from the ship. 2️⃣ Massasoit Tribute Statue: Massasoit was the leader of the Wampanoag confederacy. Massasoit means Great Sachem. Massasoit was not his name, but a title. English colonists mistook Massasoit as his name and it stuck. Climb the stairs opposite the Plymouth Rock monument to find the Massasoit Statue. You’ll also get some fantastic views of the Plymouth Harbor from up there. 3️⃣ Mayflower II: America is the product of the events that happened in Plymouth and Native Patuxet over four centuries ago, and the Mayflower II has become the centerpiece of historic Plymouth Harbor. This ship is a full-scale reproduction of the original tall ship. No one officially knows what happened to the original Mayflower. 4️⃣ Pilgrim Memorial State Park: this waterfront park is home to both the Plymouth Rock and the Mayflower II museum. 5️⃣ Ice cream: there are a few options along the waterfront shops, or you could check out the Plimoth Candy Company. 🅿️ There is 2 hour parking;  9 am – 7 pm,  $1.25 an hour, from April 1 - November 30. 🚻 And public restrooms in the Park. What would you be most excited to see in Plymouth? #plymouthma #plymouthwaterfront #plymouthrock #plymouthpatuxet #southshorema #exploremassachusetts #exploremassachusettswithkids #explorenewengland #visitma #newenglandwithkids #familyadventure #southofboston #southshoreliving #adventureday

Nice area to walk around. Nice and open. I didn't realize until this trip the the rock was small and not a giant cliff or Boulder. I have been hearing stories of Plymouth rock since kindergarten so I feel fortunate have been able to stand in the same area I learned so long ago. There is also a restroom on-site. With running water, soap and doors. Across from the rock there is a museum. With a lot of stairs leading up to it. This was nice after having been driving for so long. Be sure to pay for parking. We paid in one lot stayed for about 10 minutes then moved down to the next lot when we saw an ice cream shop. We didn't pay at the next lot thinking we were still covered. Luckily some concerned citizen left a reminder. I guess as patrons of local shops and visitors from the otherside of the country we deserved a ticket for not paying twice. Live and learn.
