What families say

Families consistently highlight the Charlestown Navy Yard's USS Constitution and USS Cassin Young as the big draw, with the museum's interactive exhibits described as engaging for younger kids while still offering enough depth for older students. It's a great endpoint for a Freedom Trail walk, with plenty of open waterfront space to explore, friendly rangers to answer questions, and a fair amount of walking, so plan for comfortable shoes. One reviewer noted a lack of nearby public restrooms, so it's worth planning bathroom breaks before or after your visit.
