Real Pirates was well worth the money! Very informative exhibit based on facts and findings not legend and lore. A must do when in Salem.

This has to be our favorite experience during our trip to Salem this week! It flowed so well starting with a fun photo booth picture, quick yet detailed video for background info, and each exhibit that followed. Each exhibit was perfectly executed, and the artifacts on display were fascinating. Our docent Julianna was an incredible guide. She was so knowledgeable and very clearly passionate about all things pirates. She truly made this experience the best it could have been with her friendly demeanor, interesting anecdotes, and willingness to answer all of our questions! You’re truly missing out if you don’t make this a part of your next visit to Salem!!
