Whydah Pirate Museum, West Yarmouth

Mu husband and I went with my son and grandchildren to check this museum out. We all loved it. It was really well organized and the set ups were very interesting. I loved the themed settings with mannequins dressed in period costumes. My granddaughter loved the map where they had to find items around the museum. We backtracked several times to find them all. I would go again any time.

Fantastic displays of artifacts recovered from the Whydah, lots of information, a great video, interesting facts, a whole room dedicated to the recovery process and preservation of some of the artifacts, and a really cool gift shop. Well worth the ticket price if you read all the information on the displays, (SO interesting!) and they stagger groups to keep it from getting crowded. Really great group rate, too, you only need 15 people. Reserve ahead! Photos are from the lobby and entrance (after admission); no photography is allowed after the video room.
