The Las Vegas Birdman is also returning this year to amaze us with his rare and beautiful bird species that cannot be seen and interacted with anywhere else. The Birdman provides the highest of quality in educational wildlife entertainment. Since 1982 their goal has been to connect people with the wonderful world of animals with a special focus on our avian friends.

Kids and their families will enjoy following the free Treasure Map throughout the event to complete super fun tasks and activities such as, make a rope; walk the plank, swab the deck, hoist the sails, get a pirate name, even make an eye patch or a fairy wand! There are tons of photo opportunities for the whole family. Complete the map, and at the final X receive a Letter of Marque, collect pirate booty and become an “Official Pirate.”

One of the biggest hits with the kids is the Kid’s Cove stage, see the Pirate Puppet Show, magic acts, and storytelling. Las Vegas Family Puppet Theater Co.’s handmade puppets are works of art in their own right. After the show, visit the magnificent Mermaid pod, with mermaids swimming in their tank! Spend time with the three Captains to learn about pirate history, ships, uniforms, and see a real Da Vinci drop hammer minting valuable metal doubloons.
