Very detailed panels and relics. Has kids-friendly hands-on stuff like interviewed to be a sailor/mariner. What type of material will make a good ship? Some of the hands on stuff has vague direction,…Full review by Xiaohan J

As a bit of a museum traditionalist, this one was a bit more interactive than I enjoy. But I imagine it’s great for educating kidsFull review by Gioia R

There's a lot about the Constitution including artifacts, life as a sailor, models, interactive displays and film loops. I would give it 5 stars but a large wing was closed for an unknown reason.Full review by Steve M

Hiya, There is a bus stop just outside the Naval Yard......... only a 2 or 3 min walk............ however I am not too sure if they operate a "hop on hop off" system of bus tickets. Equally it's only a short walk if you arrive on the ferry service on the Boston to Charlestown Service. This is a good way to arrive in the Naval Dockyard on the Charlestown side............... If you do this take the opportunity to visit the Bunker Hill Monument and the Bunker Hill Museum ( 5 min walk) ,,,,,,,,,,,,,,, both free to enter and well worth visiting. Enjoy

I’m sorry I haven’t seen the question sooner! I think 1 hour would be fine. There isn’t much walking involved, but there are some stairs and tight spaces on the ship itself. We had no lines to get in really, maybe 5 people in front of us. The Cityview trolley stop is right in front of the museum.

The ship is in dry dock for restoration. It is really something very unique to see while it sits totally out of the water. We were able to board the ship and to explore the main deck and the one below it. I'm not sure if you can still due that due to the restoration schedule. I know they still have to move the cannons back onto the ship, so this could make it off limits to visitors awhile. Please don't let this discourage you from visiting. The museum is amazing (especially if you have school age children). And, even if you can't board the ship, you'll love seeing her in dry dock.

Q:
About how long does it take to see the museum and tour the ship? Also what time of day is the lest busiest in July?
A:
I would go early in the morning. The museum can be done in 30 minutes or several hours depending on your level of interest. Talk to the crew on the ship. They tell the story best!
