Arrrr mateys! Have you ever wanted to meet a pirate? Well, here’s your chance! This Thursday through Sunday, the Orlando Science Center will be celebrating Pirate Week.

Come dressed up in your best pirate outfit and get ready to sail the seas. On Thursday, Friday and Sunday there will be many activities from searching for real treasure to making your own eye patch.

On Saturday, pirate impersonators will be joining us to talk about the exciting life of a pirate. They will cover the history of a pirate’s life, from what they did, to what they ate, to what they wore. There will also be black powder demonstrations, knot tying lessons, performances and more!

During the event, giveaways will also be awarded. Get the chance to win tickets to the Pirates Dinner Adventure show, Pirate’s Cove Mini Golf and much more.

Most of the events will take place in Kids Town, but there will many pirate “opp-arrr-tunities” throughout the entire museum.
