A great building. Apparently they won the 2022 museum of the something. Not sure why. It seems very dumbed down, aimed at pre school children perhaps. Not a named sail mentioned anywhere. Yet th… Full review by PBPG

Nicely done museum that has a donation only entrance fee. The short movies were quite interesting also. It's an easy walk from the hop on and off stop Full review by beth ann k

The film is a must see, and does a nice review of the naval yard and currently military ship. The naval yard is still run by active naval officers, so you will see them around the yard. The museum … Full review by Patrice A

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
How much time should we plan to visit this museum? (We’re 2 seniors, with no kids.)

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.
Can we do our own tour of the freedom traIL or do we have to pay and tour?
A:
You can easily follow the trail (just follow the red trailed marked on the sidewalks). But you might want to consider an inexpensive tour guide who will provide lots of interesting …
You can easily follow the trail (just follow the red trailed marked on the sidewalks). But you might want to consider an inexpensive tour guide who will provide lots of interesting information about what you are seeing. Our group felt we would have missed a lot without the benefit of our guide
We are in town July 12-14th and the website shows the USS Constitution is closed due to docking schedule. What does that mean? Thank you.

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.
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!
