We visited this Pirate museum. It is awesome. It is artifacts from a shipwreck 300 years ago. They are still pulling stuff out of the Cape from this shipwreck. It is amazing. If you are lucky enough to have Bill guide you through, you will not refret it. He is a wonderful guy and very knowledgeable. I would visit this again. It is fun for all ages. 10/10 stars!!!

An amazing experience! We really enjoyed the hands-on parts and hearing Sam Bellamy’s really made us invested in the whole exhibit. We were excited to hear the end of the story and how the Whydah was re-discovered. Perfect for the whole family!

This is such a great museum with a high level of polish and sophistication, mixed with the perfect amount of fun. It kicks off with a theatrical presentation that sets the scene, and then launches you directly into the exhibit, focusing initially on the stark realities of the time and the origin of the vessel, before providing an incredibly detailed view into the life of the Pirates. My kids loved it. We will be back for some of the scheduled programming!
