Best of Fall River
Remarkable experience that allows exploration throughout most of each ship. The admission cost is definitely worth the visit and you really can understand the history of each vessel. We traversed so much and could envision being on the crew. You should be ready to be agile as some of the passages are in tight quarters. The staff were friendly and very caring about maintaining these relics. Too bad MA government or federal government don’t provide funding to keep these historical treasures maintained as they only get funds from ticket sales and donations

Wonderful history
As a former sailor this brought back memories,I was able to show my girlfriend and tell her things about ships only A former sailor would know,there is alot to see they have an impressive amount of hardware, unfortunately it also requires a ton of resources to maintain and some things are in desperate need of care and painting. I wish they didn't paint over the original compartment tags I would have loved to have read what the originally were.I wanted to stay overnight but unfortunately it's for families and groups only. But it was a good value 2 days and they do the best they can with resources they have. (Personally I'd rather see the federal government take some of my tax dollars to keep historic places like this maintained rather than sending that money overseas for nothing that's my personal opinion on it. ) Overall this was a great pleasure to visit!!!
