Pirates of Nassau

I absolutely loved this museum, and I’m an adult and a history lover. I think it does what is the most difficult thing for museums to do in tourist locations: balance appeal for adults and children. I’ll explain . . .

As an adult, I loved the well-done placards explaining the importance of pirates to the history of the Bahamas. They were excellently done and very intriguing while at the same time educational. The perfect compliment to the replicas of a ship, life on a ship, and life-sized scenes that are really really well done, especially for a museum in a capital as small as Nassau.

The topics they enlighten you on, like the food they eat, how they perform surgeries, how they were punished, we’re all absolutely fascinating for anyone who has a sliver of interest in history, and the fact that you read about it, and then look at it re-created right in front of you is just wonderful for me.

Kids will love it because you come face to face with pirates, teens and adults will love the “true/false” flip games, and everyone who allows themselves to be will be transported into another place and time. This is a REAL history museum, not just a toy attraction, and that makes it special.

Price was around $16 per person. Remember nothing is cheap in the Bahamas :). But I honestly think it’s a must see and you can check it off your list in 1 hour or 90 minute no problem if you’re in a rush and still get a nice impact.

Great work here guys! Seriously impressed.
