Family friendly - Very fun! The scavenger hunt was fun and the QR codes were plentiful around which allowed you to learn as much or as little as you wanted while experiencing the exhibit. Staff was super friendly as well.

Great experience! - The teaching lessons my granddaughters walked away with. Math, History and reading.
My 4 year old granddaughter practiced her numbers while reading the gold dots & punching the numbers in her device. My oldest granddaughter who is 7 years old and a history buffed, learned a lot about pirates and about the 1900 storm. She also learned how to figure out a persons life span.
My husband enjoyed it a lot.
The workers were super friendly and helpful!!

Surprising, stimulating and definitely very rewarding - Food art in a small, beautiful and modern museum located in a park.
The owner of the museum is a food wholesaler. The source of money and the art collected are therefore connected.
Art works are on display that encourage, among other things, the visitor to examine their own consumer behavior. Friendly curators unobtrusively invite visitors to talk about the exhibits.

Cool Pirate Experience - If you are fascinated with pirates this is a neat place to go. It's uniquely designed like a pirate ship. I have been to Galveston many times and have heard of John Lafitte, This museum gives you the whole story of his encounters with Galveston, I highly recommend.

If you like history you must tour this - Pirates Legends of the Gulf Coast is a fantastic way to learn the history of the pirates in Galveston back in the day. I was amazed at how many there were here and famous ones too. It's a self paced learning experience and kind of a treasure hunt too. The building and effects are amazing. Do this you won't regret it

A Fun Time when Youre on the Island - Took the family to view the Pirates exhibit last weekend. Awesome experience! Nothing super spooky, so my kids enjoyed it. Might be too much for really small kids, though.
Definitely recommended!

Learn about the pirates and haunted jaunt - Well organized simple excursion with a lot of details discussing pirate history. I liked the hand-held speaker narration of many aspects of pirate life and history.
