Description

Admission to Real Pirates of Salem

Enjoy 4 Admissions to the Real Pirates of Salem at a $74 value.

The Story of Black Sam Bellamy and the Whydah
Immerse yourself in the stories of Real Pirates! The family-friendly pirate experience features the true tale of ?Black Sam? Bellamy ? the richest and one of the youngest pirates of all time ? and Maria Hallett, the love of his life and so-called ?Witch of Wellfleet.?

During the early 1700s, Bellamy captured the infamous slave ship Whydah, as well as more than 50 other ships, earning him the nickname the ?Prince of Pirates.? Meet the crew and follow their journey as they seek fortune on the high seas, amass the greatest pirate treasure of all times, and ultimately meet their untimely fate when the Whydah sinks in a violent Nor?easter off the coast of Cape Cod.

See the world?s only fully authenticated pirate treasure ever discovered ? including coins, jewelry, and weapons ? retrieved from the wreck, and last touched by the hands of pirates more than 300 years ago.

Peabody Essex Museum

Included in this package is a wonderful opportunity to visit Peabody Essex Museum in Salem Ma. with 4 complimentary admissions to their museum at a value of $80.

This is your museum! Welcome.

Museums offer us an environment in which people, ideas, life experiences, and feelings can come together across time, place, and culture. They seek out art and creative expression to feel grounded, to feel awe, and, yes, to question and understand who we are and who we can become through our shared humanity.

It is a tremendous honor to for PEM, an organization whose focus is on creativity, cultural understanding, and innovation to be more relevant and needed than ever. This is a pivotal moment for museums to stimulate conversation and connection with empathy, courage, and credibility. I invite you to explore our complex, rapidly changing world through the power of the arts and cultural expression.

They look forward to seeing you in the galleries?or at a virtual event?soon!

The Salem Witch Museum

The Salem Witch Museum examines one of the most enduring and emotional events in American History, the Salem witch trials of 1692. The museum consists of two presentations. The first provides an immersive look into the events of 1692. Visitors experience the drama of that dark time though thirteen life-size stage sets, figures, lighting and narration as they are witness to the web of lies and intrigue of the Salem witch-hunt.

Our second exhibit, Witches: Evolving Perceptions, explores the meaning behind the word witch and evolution of the image of the witch over time. This presentation focuses on the European witch trials and the background leading to the Salem witch trials. In addition, this presentation discusses the emergence of the stereotypical witch and the phenomenon of witch-hunting.

The museum is open year-round, every day except Thanksgiving, Christmas, New Year?s Day, and in January for several weeks as we close to paint and prepare the museum for the upcoming season. Presentations are offered every half-hour from 10:00AM to 4:30PM, with extended hours in July, August, and October. Plan to allow at least one hour for your visit. For our international visitors, we offer our main presentation in French, German, Japanese, Spanish, Italian, Russian, Mandarin, and Cantonese by request.

Enjoy a Family Six Pack - Admission Tickets with this item at a $99 value.

* not valid for the month of October
