We can’t help but start with a pirate party!  We talk to moms and dads all the time that are looking for creative birthday party ideas for five-year-olds.  What five-year-old does not get caught up in the adventure of pirates and mermaids?   At Pirate Adventures we offer the perfect birthday party place for your little pirates in Annapolis, Maryland.  Annapolis is an easy drive from Baltimore, Washington DC and Northern Virginia.  Climb aboard our pirate ship the Sea Gypsy and take part in a treasure hunt on the water!  Kids will get faces painted, dressed up and board the pirate ship. They will read a treasure map and search for an X that marks the spot.  Along the way, they will find a message in a bottle. Get ready to battle an enemy pirate with our famous water cannons.  The little pirates celebrate their victory with some pirate “grog”.  Our interactive Pirate Adventure includes a take-home loot bag of treasure. Also,  there is an indoor party room onsite for cake and presents after the boat ride.  Find out more about our pirate parties and party packages at our Annapolis, Maryland location and read our reviews from our birthday party hosts.
