About

The kids practice sword drills and make their very own pirate flags during our search for treasure in White Point Gardens, where little pirates can safely run and play. This tour even includes fun souvenirs: swords, treasure, maps, balloon parrots, and pirate flags! At one hour long, it's the perfect time length for kids. Adults, as well as the kids, will enjoy the history and pirate trivia we share on the tour.

Admission to the Powder Magazine Museum is included.

Featured on NBC Today Show. Also, appearances on Travel Channel, PBS, A&E, Lifetime, Syfy, and NPR.

CHILDREN MUST BE ACCOMPANIED BY AT LEAST ONE PAID ADULT. Children under 3 are Free, but if you want the younger children to receive swords, treasure, and make flags, please purchase the Child 3-12 ticket.
