A visit to the Mayflower II gives young people a chance to learn about what life was like for the Pilgrims on their treacherous voyage to the New World. If you have the better part of the day to fill, you can get a combination ticket to visit both the Mayflower II and Plimoth Plantation. Children get a first-hand look at how the Pilgrims went about preparing meals and tending to their animals. Costumed interpreters take on the roles of individual Pilgrims and will gladly answer children's questions. The waterfront is always exciting.
Children delight in watching the boats along Plymouth harbor.
Great ice cream and special candy treats are found along the waterfront and at Village Landing Marketplace for a break in all the day's activities. Also along the waterfront, you can visit Cranberry World Visitor's Center and learn all about the cranberry. Visitors can walk through a working cranberry bog, look at antique harvesting equipment, and taste a cranberry refreshment. Admission is free. Then perhaps it's time to take a trip to one of Plymouth's great playgrounds.
