I had a really good experience overall. I just wish there had been more people to interact with. The two ladies I did interact with were amazing and I learned a lot just lurking in the back without asking questions.

I read so many good reviews about the Thanksgiving dinner at Plimoth Pawtuxet. Here is my experience. The museums were good and the characters made the experience memorable. I recommend the museums. The dinner not so much. It was average at best. The thin piece of turkey wrapped around the stuffing could have been mistaken as deli turkey. Of the three desserts, the Indian pudding was the best, it was served warm but the coffee was cold. Think of the cheapest store bought pies you ever had; that is what was served. And those were served cold too, not even room temperature. I thought there was entertainment during dinner; none. The "pilgrim" woman in character was excellent but she disappeared after grace. I think this is the most disappointing experience and I would like to keep others from parting with their hard earned money to be let down. Bottom line: see the museums, eat elsewhere for a fraction of the price.
