This small museum was packed with so much information. The story of the Whydah was incredibly interesting. Being able to walk on a ship really made it come to life.

This ace was really cool. I learned alot of facts and had alot of myths about Pirates debunked. Fascinating story and really cool artifacts. No photography allowed though, so that was a bummer. But seriously cool educational experience.

Tickets are sold inside once they open. I'm not aware of any way to buy tickets in advance from other outlets.

Is this place actually worth visiting or is it just a tourist trap?

D B | Sep 10, 2019
David Le Guyon | Sep 10, 2019

It is worth visiting, no doubts about that. However you have to expect a quite standard display of artefacts with text. No interactive systems, and only few videos. Kids able to read and patient enough to spend about 90 minutes doing so will enjoy the place.

I don't know. You would have to call the museum as one of the staff was part of the excavation.

Website says get tickets online. attempted to get morning of, either sold out or we were only able to get 1 ticket. We have a family of 2 adults 3 kids. Can't get that many tickets? Super confusing. Called, no one answered left mess. No call back
