SHIPWRECK! Pirates & Treasure
Opens July 4 at Discovery Place
Grab the kids and check out Shipwreck! Pirates and Treasure before heading down to the US Airways Family Fun Fest. Dive into the world of underwater exploration and discover the real story of shipwrecks and life below the sea. Shipwreck! is a family-friendly multimedia experience that puts you in the captain’s chair to uncover the research, recovery and preservation involved in the quest for deep-sea knowledge and treasure.
Experiment with technology used to locate shipwrecks, pilot a robot submersible, manipulate a giant robotic arm to pick up coins and – if you dare mateys – step into the Hurricane Chamber and experience the force of Mother Nature.
