Planning time for the tour/Ticket Availability:
All tickets purchased will be purchased for a specific tour time. The tour is one hour in length and doors for each tour open 15 minutes before stated tour time.  All guests must check in between 15 minutes and 5 minutes before their stated tour.  Guests late for that window may have their tickets re-allocated and we will try and get them in on another tour depending on availability.

If some tour times are unavailable on-line, we DO hold tickets on tours for walk-ups. Just a reminder that during busy summer days, and especially on holiday week(end)s that does not guarantee that walk-up guests will be able to get into the museum right when they arrive.  There could be a wait of an hour or more.

************************************

Baggage Policy
For security reasons, we cannot hold or check any bags or baggage. For similar reasons, no unattended bags are allowed on site at any time. Purses and bags of standard carry-on size and below are permitted on tours provided that they are carried and attended by their owners at all times. For safety and space reasons, larger luggage items may be disallowed on tours. Please ask at the booth before purchasing your tickets.

Stroller & Carriage Policy
Carriages and strollers aren’t allowed inside the museum due to the physical structure and nature of the site; gangways, stairways, narrow and confined spaces and graduated seating can all be found on the tour. Instead, we ask that you park your stroller or carriage in our dedicated carriage parking area. Neither The Boston Tea Party Ships & Museum nor its employees assume responsibility for the loss of, or damage to personal property.
