ADD-ON EVENT: BOARDED! A New Pirate Adventure!
BOARDED is an add-on event to your Pirate Days admission ticket.
This hilarious interactive show puts you right in the middle of the pirate action. After you are sworn in as part of the crew you will be trained how to navigate, sword fight, bail water from a sinking ship, escape from the Kings Jail, swab the deck and other pirate skills. But beware…there be mutiny afoot, a lost crew and cursed treasure.
