Collect Yer Loot

Registering is simple and free! Follow the QR code on our crew's map to get started. Once you find the secret password, your kids will collect some loot and go on a fun voyage. There's a different adventure each season, so if you visited in the spring, but are also planning to visit in the fall, the kids will enjoy new loot and a completely different adventure.
