      Very Interesting

      Although we couldn't take Waffles into buildings or on any of the ships, we did have a good time. It was all very interesting.

      Fun Day!

      My husband and I have always visited Mystic so we were so excited to find out we could take our dog! Dogs are allowed on the grounds only, they can't go in any buildings or on any of the big boats. However, you can rent a small boat and take your dog for a ride. We took the peddle boat which was perfect for the two of us and our small pup. They have water bowls all around the grounds as well. We went on a very hot day so we didn't stay long as there was no place to cool down, but you are able to come back for free on the same day so we brought our dog home to cool off and returned for a few more hours. A fun day for all!

      16 paws up!

      4 Chihuahua mixes, all rescue, enjoyed a great day! We brought their stroller so we were able to take them into most exhibits.

      Free re-entry

      great but I recommend that you go into the museums and ships then come back later to enjoy the area since you get free re- entry

      Tourist trap

      Pets technically allowed, but not on vessels or exhibits or in buildings. At a cost of $25/person this was a waste for me. Geared for 2 legged pets (aka kids).

      A Good Visit

      Enjoyed a beautiful day. Dogs are welcome throughout the seaport and at all the outdoor dining spots. Lots and soft grass and shady trees to lounge under. We had a great time.

      What a good day

      We really enjoyed our stroll through the Mystic Seaport today. It was great to be able to bring our dog, staff were very welcoming. We just had to skip the inside exhibits. Even had a great lunch under the trees at one of their restaurants that allows you to have your dog at the table.
