I took my 12 yr son and we had a great time! The Olympia is fascinating and the Becuna was amazing. Really takes you back in time. Neither was very crowded so we had plenty of time to marvel at what all these mariners endured and accomplished. The museum also takes you back to the days of the slave trade and the atrocity that it truly was.
