What’s the Cost, Ye Ask?
Best of all, this pirate adventure comes free with your castle admission. So, once you arrive, you can dive straight into the fun without spending a single extra coin!

Important Pirate Code (a.k.a. House Rules):

  • Young sailors must be supervised by a trusty parent or guardian.
  • Gabrielle can only command a crew of 6 scallywags at a time—if the ship gets crowded, ye may need to wait or return later in the day.

  • you will need castle admission to take part in our crafts – to find out more click the link below.

  • Castle command may reschedule or cancel sessions when needed—mostly due to pesky krakens, of course!

 

Come along and dive straight into pirate crafting fun! As your little ones roll up their sleeves, they’ll stick, sparkle, and giggle through a hands-on adventure filled with glue, glitter, and plenty of pirate cheer. Meanwhile, our crafty crew keeps the fun flowing, ensuring every young buccaneer leaves with treasure-worthy memories.
