    My grand children were visiting from Indiana, so I booked this adventure to give them a chance to get out on the water. What a great time they had! The staff here is so kind, enthusiastic, and great with the kids. The kids enjoyed every minute, and will remember it for a long time. It was money well spent.

    This was way worth the trip! Our kids are 7 and 5, and this was right up their alley. The staff does a tremendous job keeping the kids engaged and making them feel included from the get-go. They have several different activities they involve the kids with leading up to the ship and while on the adventure. The staff make it fun, funny, innovative, and embrace the pirate culture. I couldn't think of any suggestions for how it could be better, and I'm typically a highly critical person. This was top notch fun for my kids, and that made it top notch fun for me as a parent.

    The crew working were fantastic, you could tell they genuinely enjoy playing pirates and interacting with kids! Loved that it wasn't just a boat ride. Upon arrival they wanted the kids to be involved. They even include face painting.

    What an amazing day we had for a 3rd birthday! The staff is incredible and I couldn't speak more highly of them. The day turned out so perfect and our daughter couldn't stop saying "it was the best birthday EVER"! Thank you again Pirate Adventures we sure will be coming back and referring you to all of our friends!

    We took our 9 year old nephew on this pirate adventure and he had a blast, it was $28 a person and you had to call to reserve, they knew the kids by name and paid attention to every single one. They kept the kids interested and kept them engaged the entire time, the staff was very friendly and had a positive interaction with all of us. We would definitely come back in the future!

    Super fun excursion. Our group ranged from 3 to 9 and all had a good time. The employees... er, pirates, go out of their way to ensure all the kids have a blast. We were the first to arrive and the kids had their choice of outfits before getting tattoos. The littlest was more adventurous with her outfit while the older kids were more adventurous with their pirate and mermaid tattoos. The banter with the pirate cast was very funny. Swell was our pirate guide and she was great. She catered to every kid from the youngest to the oldest, and made sure they were all having a good time, and focused on helping with the missions. The music on the boat was aligned to the story in a fun way. The kids were busy the whole time. The kids favorite part was shooting Pirate Pete with the water cannons. I believe they were playing Metallica Enter Sandman during the attack. They also liked sampling the Grog and checking out the treasure! I would definitely recommend this trip to anyone in Annapolis. It's rough to entertain a 3 yo and an almost 10 yo at the same time and they were engaged the whole time.

    Our kids getting the cannons ready!!

The cast was amazing & kept everyone laughing. I have been to Colonial Players several times & it has not disappointed. it's a small cozy welcoming theatre of local enthusiasts who love the theatre & they do such a fabulous job every time. Ticket prices are very reasonable & some discounts are offered such as senior & military. Also, Colonial Players now offers Seat FlexTickets for Adults for $22.00 per seat ($110.00 total) and for Seniors, Students, and Active Military for $18.00 per seat ($90.00) total. They are transferable .... How cool is that? Parking can be a challenge so be sure to arrive with plenty of time before the start of the plays to allow time to get your ticket and get comfortable. I highly recommend you check it out & let's continue to support the creative minds of our locals who come together to showcase their talent and devotion to the arts and our community. And a quote from the Dracula program... "and remember: laughter is the best defense against the dark"

    First time seeing them at Ram's Head in Annapolis on 1/25/2015…read more They were an enthusiastic, energetic team of performers that unfortunately just were mostly unfunny with just a few humorous moments. Their shtick is the standard "Whose Line?" game play with the audience - picking topics and keywords / using crowd interaction to try for comedic effect. Maybe they were having an off night, or maybe I was expecting more based on other reviews here, but they didn't knock my socks off, nor did they really rock the other three people I was with. Tickets were $17.50 each. I'd be interested in seeing them again maybe in an online video to see if they have a better laugh factor than I caught during my live visit. Long story short, I was disappointed, and wouldn't recommend them based on my experience.

My husband and I love the fact that going to a Free Range Show is an evening guaranteed to be hilarious and unique. The show is interactive and the performers professionals. They perform at multiple venues at multiple times so it is not difficult to find a show time that fits into a busy schedule. Believe me, it is worth fitting a show in. The tickets are affordable and easily accessible through their website. Once you go, you will want to go over and over just to see what they can come up with. Because the content is based completely on audience suggestions (and sometimes the audience members even go up on stage and become part of the action!) no show is the same as the last. I cannot recommend them highly enough. I need more stars.

The cast members meet guests outside after the play, which I thought was a nice added value. The theatre itself is very impressive. Very clean and the seats seem to all have a great view. (They also provide booster seats for the little ones). You might want to bring a sweater, it is a little chilly. Be prepared as the audience is mainly friends and family of the cast - so there is considerable hooting and hollering for specific characters. (This was mentioned in a review from 2019 - so some things never change). As with bathrooms worldwide, there are not enough stalls in the women's restroom to accommodate the lines - especially during intermission. All things considered, I probably will not go back, because... being as this is A CHILDREN'S THEATRE and the play should NOT be 2+ hours! Holy Moly, how do you expect 4, 5, 6 or even 8 year olds can sit still that long? Sadly, I left feeling: set changes, a 20-minute intermission and about 6 songs too many, made me more than ready to go home.
