Description
Looking for a unique family experience while New York City public schools are closed for Mid-Winter recess? Bring your family and friends on board the 1885 Tall Ship Wavertree to participate in hands-on activities that explore the fascinating world of 19th-century trans-Atlantic sailors. These dynamic activities invite kids ages 5–12 to haul on ropes to raise the sail and walk the capstan ‘round, while learning how sailors slept, ate, worked, and played.
This program will take place in temperature-controlled areas of Wavertree, as well as outdoors on the deck. In the event of inclement weather, the program will take place indoors only. Grab a coat and come enjoy this fresh air experience at the Seaport Museum.
Registration is required for each participating child. Each session is geared towards a specific age range:
10–10:45 am, Ages 5–9
11–11:45 am, Ages 8–12
Please note: The program lasts approximately 45 minutes. All children must be accompanied by an adult; a maximum of 4 children per adult. Strollers cannot be brought on board.
