Finding new and fun things to do with the kids is always on a parent’s mind. Lucky for us we live in an area where there is always something going on and there are a lot of resources for fun with the kids available.  At Pirate Adventures we serve families in MD, DC, and VA that are active and are looking for new ideas for family fun.  We cringe when we hear “this place is so great, wish I had heard about you sooner”.  From the time we opened our doors 12 years ago parents have been our best source of advertising.  Now more than ever we can see the results of happy customers on our pirate ship through Facebook and other social media.  Parents are our best asset when it comes to spreading the word about our unique business for family friendly entertainment.   It is our goal to be a fun place to take your kids on a sunny day as well as be a resource for parents looking for other places for kids.
