Fun for Kids at Mystic Seaport
Calling our youngest sailors! No matter the season, you'll enjoy exploring the many indoor and outdoor activities found at the nation's leading maritime museum.
Explore the world of maps at the Map Spot and create one of your own. Discover the night sky under the Planetarium dome. Look for our Nautical Instrument Cart on Museum grounds and learn how mariners once charted their course. Build a wooden toy boat, touch baggywrinkle in the Discovery Barn, create a maritime masterpiece at Art Spot and climb aboard a fleet of wooden playscapes built just for you!
When it's time to eat, enjoy lunch at the Galley Restaurant, located conveniently alongside our Village Green. The Seamen's Inne also offers a special children's menu full of kid's favorites (plus lots of choices for Mom and Dad, too).
And don't forget to make you way down to the Shipyard to see the world's last wooden whaleship, the Charles W. Morgan, as she undergoes a major restoration. You don't want to miss your chance to see this 340-ton-vessel out of the water!
