Group Admission
Have a large group? Mystic Seaport provides reduced admission to groups of 10 or more with advance reservations.
From the mature audience to youth groups bouncing with excitement, to tour buses brimming with passengers, Mystic Seaport offers complete group tour services.
Upon arrival, all visitors receive a map and schedule of activities. Visitors may tour the Museum independently and at their own pace. With so much to see and do, we suggest you allow three to four hours for a self-guided exploration of our 19-acres, which allows time for a bite to eat and to shop.
The Museum Store, located just outside our main entrance, includes the nation's premier Maritime Gallery as well as a bookstore, and assorted items derived from various Mystic Seaport collections. Treat yourself to a souvenir or a treat from the Bake Shop.
Tickets: Tickets can be purchased at the Visitors Center located at the main entrance. In the spring season, a Group Ticketing Booth operates in the South Parking Lot for your convenience. Tickets must be purchased with a single payment to receive the group rate.
Payment: Payment for admission(s) is due on arrival by cash, company check, or credit card. American Express, MasterCard, Visa or Discover Cards accepted.
Parking: Groups should use the South parking lot, immediately across the street from the main entrance to Mystic Seaport. In the spring season, a Group Ticketing Booth operates in this lot.
Dining: Mystic Seaport offers a variety of on-grounds dining options. How about a New England-style clambake or simply a boxed lunch for everyone? We offer a range of services to meet your group's hungry appetites. Ask the Reservations Specialist for more information when you book your tour.

Tour Operators
We offer complimentary admission to each bus driver and one escort per bus. Please contact us to make arrangements and determine rates. See Recommended Motor Coach Arrival Procedures below.
RECOMMENDED MOTOR COACH ARRIVAL PROCEDURES: Free motor coach parking is conveniently located in specially designated areas in the south parking lot, opposite the main entrance to the Mystic Seaport Museum. Please note: You will pass the north parking lot first if arriving from Exit 90 on I-95.
When the Group Ticketing Booth in the south parking lot is open, please leave your group on board while you go to the booth to obtain your tickets and make payment. Distribute the tickets to your passengers on board or as they disembark. Cross the street and enter directly through the designated group entrance in the plaza.
When the Group Ticketing Booth is closed, please escort your group across the street to the main entrance Visitor Center. Tickets may be purchased at the ticket booths and distributed in the waiting area.
Motor coach operators must turn engines off after parking and discharging passengers. This ordinance is strictly enforced. Thank you for your cooperation.
