1.5 hours
Embark on a thrilling 90-minute pirate adventure in St. Augustine! Kids aged 5-12 will explore pirate history, learn about ships and weapons, and even receive their own pirate name certificate. With hands-on activities, take-home loot, and a scavenger hunt, this experience promises unforgettable fun for young adventurers!
90 minutes
You’ll be strolling through some areas of St. Augustine with hands-on things to touch, learn and collect. Learn about pirate weapons, ships, kids jobs on ships, doubloons, pieces of eight, history, flags, navigation, chantey’s and, of course, some REAL PIRATES, both male and female. Take home some neat pirate ‘booty’, maybe learn a chantey, and be bestowed with your OWN pirate name on a certificate!
The adventure doesn’t end when the in-person experience does: enjoy your take home materials that not only include your loot but also a little local Scavenger Hunt, a pirate language guide, online resources for home fun & learning, AND a discount for the Black Raven Pirate Ship and Store!
Although 'kids' of many ages, little or grown, will find this interesting, it is designed for ages 5-12, and they also get the take home loot.
*Children under 5, tickets are free, but they only receive stickers, not the other loot. IF you think your child is old enough or understands enough to participate and/or wish them to receive the take-home merchandise, you will need to purchase a child 5-12 ticket. *If your child is over 12 but wishes to participate and receive merchandise, they will also need to purchase a 'child' ticket.
Be aware, it is an outdoor experience so it takes place rain or shine (within reason). Also, pictures will be taken during the adventure that you will be sent afterwards if you’d like (and we have your email), but of course, you’re free to take your own.
