Item Description

Capt. Bill & Sons Whale Watch Adventures (2 Tickets)

We are a well established, family owned and operated Boston whale watch adventure company in Gloucester, Massachusetts, now in our 50th season of Cape Ann boating excursions.

Join Us For An Experience You Will Never Forget!
Sail our popular three to four hour tour to view the world’s largest mammals surfacing, feeding, and breaching in the important feeding areas of Stellwagen Bank and Jeffreys Ledge. In season, these waters, a National Marine Sanctuary, provide some of the BEST WHALE WATCHING opportunities in the world. Our unique and awe-inspiring whale watching tours offer many great photo opportunities!

Don’t miss the Whale Center of New England’s free exhibit, where you can get up close and personal to an actual humpback whale skeleton. To find out more about this exhibit and other attractions at our unique location on Historic Harbor Loop ... click here, and you will be directed to our interactive map.

Naturalists on board the Miss Cape Ann make the difference. Our whale watching tours in Gloucester take place on a custom designed whale watching boat that provides optimal whale watching, cruises departing twice daily, and more frequently on peak days. Located northeast of Boston Harbor cruises are complete with the outstanding educational resources provided by researchers from The Whale Center of New England. That means every whale watching cruise with us, already inspiring and rich with the marine life sightings in the Stellwagen Bank National Marine Sanctuary or Jeffreys Ledge, is a rare opportunity to learn to latest news and more about whales.

 

Salem Witch Museum (Family 6 pack)

In the early spring of 1692 hysterical young girls called out names.

By summer, 180 people had been accused and imprisoned - defenseless against accusations of witchcraft in a society driven by superstition and fear. The court, formed to try the victims, acted quickly. Bridget Bishop was tried on June 2 and hanged on June 10 thereby setting the precedent for a summer of executions.

The Salem Witch Museum brings you there, back to Salem 1692. Visitors are given a dramatic history lesson using stage sets with life-size figures, lighting and a narration - an overview of the Witch Trials of 1692.

Our new exhibit, Witches: Evolving Perceptions, examines the stereotypical witch, aspects of witchcraft in the 17th century, modern witchcraft and the phenomenon of witch hunts. Do you believe in witches? Don't answer until you visit us.

Peabody Essex Museum (Four Passes) 

The roots of the Peabody Essex Museum date to the 1799 founding of the East India Marine Society, an organization of Salem captains and supercargoes who had sailed beyond either the Cape of Good Hope or Cape Horn. The society’s charter included a provision for the establishment of a “cabinet of natural and artificial curiosities,” which is what we today would call a museum. Society members brought to Salem a diverse collection of objects from the northwest coast of America, Asia, Africa, Oceania, India and elsewhere. By 1825, the society moved into its own building, East India Marine Hall, which today contains the original display cases and some of the very first objects collected.
