Complete with a full-size Mayflower replica and a Pilgrim village, Plimoth Plantation — which is perhaps the most popular destination in the area — brings history to life. But the family fun doesn't begin and end there. Let the kids get their hands dirty playing (and learning!) at the many hands-on museums, water parks and carousel rides in the area.
