It’s all hands on deck with their swashbuckling pirate pursuits. Kids can impress the Captain in his best dressed competition, and young and old can play Tug o’ War on the front lawn.

In the Castle Ward Pirate Cellars there’s an expedition with Buccaneer Scurvy Dog or set off to the face painting port to join the treasure hunt for some pirate booty. Scour the land for hidden clues and have your spyglass handy to keep those pesky pirates at bay!
