Discover hidden treasures and daring adventures in this swashbuckling exhibit

Welcome to Coral Cove, where children can let their imaginations run wild and engage in imaginative play.

Explore a pirate ship or navigate a fort filled with secret passages. The whimsical scenery, costumes, and hidden treasures will inspire children of all ages to embark on exciting adventures.
