Great museum to check out. It's easy to forget how Newport was the dominant sailing capital for many years with the Americas Cup. One of the more interactive museums as well. You get a wrist band that you can use for a unique experience. The gift shop is less gimmicky as most as the products are both useful & quality products.

Not what I expected, in a good way. A nicely thought-out, interactive experience. Would definitely recommend for families, a great rainy day activity! Both educational and fun.
