February Vacation Week 2013
February 18-22, 9:00-2:00

Winter at Plimoth Plantation? You bet! Our outdoor sites may be hidden under a blanket of snow, but our Visitor Center is open and brimming with hands-on family activities. Every day features drop-in activities like writing with quill pens, trying on Pilgrim clothes, and making Wampanoag-style clay pots. Little ones can exercise their imaginations in our Family Discovery Station while older kids play Wampanoag games.

While you’re here, make sure to visit the Craft Center and check out the Museum Shop. (The Museum Shop will be open from 10:00 to 3:00.)

Snacks will be available, but not a full lunch menu. (You are welcome to bring snacks or lunch to eat in our Visitor Center.) Please note that children must be accompanied by an adult and that the living history sites are not open.

Break out of the winter doldrums and make Plimoth Plantation part of your February vacation! No need to pre-register - just come by!

Admission Cost: $8 per person; Member Cost: $6. Admission includes all activities.
