"Pirate Ship Adventure was AMAZING!!! Our kids 10, 7, 5, and 1.5 had an incredible time. Captain Coral and Capable Kyle put of such a fun show and made the whole experience fun for everyone. The kids absolutely loved getting wet and all the silly pranks the pirates played on them. Overall, it was a great time had by the whole family."

The pirate staff was great, even got my husband to do pirate limbo. my kids will be talking about this day for a long time! Great place to make fun memories!"
