Earlier this summer, my family and I had the pleasure of visiting Pirate’s Dinner Adventure in Buena Park, California.  We had an arrr-some time!

For decades, pirates have been the subject of countless books, movies, and plays.  Most people are familiar with Captain Hook in the story Peter Panas, as well as Captain Jack Sparrow in the movie Pirates of the Caribbean.  But, do fictional pirates bear any resemblance to the real pirates of the Golden Age?  Yes and no.

Pirates have occupied the Pacific, Atlantic, and Indian oceans and the seven seas for thousands of years.  They were known to attack ships and steals valuables like gold, jewels, and money.  Some pirates were even paid to do so!  A professional pirate, known as a privateer, was authorized by the government to stop other ships and take possession of their property.  Similar to the role of a bounty hunter, a privateer would turn the crew of the ship over to his country.  Those captured were faced with charges and even punishment.  But by the 19th century the Golden Age of piracy was over.

About Pirate’s Dinner Adventure

In light of this history lesson, I took my children to see a show at the Pirate’s Dinner Adventure, where history and humor are combined in a live re-enactment.  During a traditional show, you will experience more humor.  On an educational field trip, you will see how Pirate’s Dinner Adventure blends learning about performing arts and history with entertainment.

During the Pirate’s Dinner Adventure show, we were served a delicious four-course meal.  I chose to eat a fresh garden salad, roasted chicken and Caribbean rice.  Mr. SoCal Field Trips and Field Trip Boy selected the vegetable soup, barbecue beef kabobs and buttery mashed potatoes.   To top it off, they served us a warm fudge brownie a la mode for dessert.

My kids were lucky enough to be selected to go on stage and participate in the show’s production as little pirates.  They teased the captain with humorous chants and tried to capture the dragon with pretend pistols.
