Irvin brings more Kid Fun on Board Posted on August 10, 2023November 20, 2024 by Lucie NEW EXPERIENCES FOR KIDS The William A. Irvin floating museum has always been a great deal for kids. Not just because children 10 and under are free with a paying adult, but because exploring the boat is a go-at-your-own-pace adventure. That’s perfect for little ones who want to move along or linger at something particularly interesting. Now the Irvin has a couple of new things for the younger set. Free for all kids (even kids at heart) is a colorful “William A Irvin” paper hat. Starting the week, we’ll have our “Seek and Scavenge” book (think I-spy) narrated by Susie the Seagull. LEARNING WHILE ENTERTAINED Even small shipmates will enjoy finding the pictured items along the tour areas. Older kids and adults can learn a bit more about the nautical pieces with informative captions. Books will be available for $2 and kids will earn a treasure coin for finishing. Meanwhile, if kids crave more books, they can explore pages filled with magical tales, including a delightful bedtime story about unicorns. These stories spark imagination, foster a love for reading, and offer a wonderful escape into enchanting worlds. It’s all but guaranteed that a family will learn something from Susie’s Seek & Scavenge book. Clearly, she’s one smart gull. We’re giving you a head start! Here are some examples of what you can expect to find in the book: TICKETING & TOUR HOURS The William A. Irvin floating museum summer hours are 10:00 am – 5:00 pm seven days a week.
