ATTRACTIONS > Especially for Kids

Scupper Monkey Island

This special area of the Portland Pirate Festival is devoted to kids and includes five giant inflatable rides to suit a variety of ages, from toddler to adult. Besides rides, Scupper Monkey Island features a variety of kids entertainment and vendors, including puppets shows, strolling entertainers, a storytelling stage, and free face painting and temporary tattoos!

 

"The CUTEST Show On Earth!"
Each show stars kids, ages four and up and an adult from the audience. These Star Performers dress in costumes that quickly slip over their clothes and after just a bit of instruction they put on a 30-minute show with two professional entertainers. 

"Pirate Adventure" features Cute pirates, beautiful mermaids, mischievous monkeys, an overly chatty parrot, and the evil Captain Green Beard who all come together for a grand adventure in search of – what else? TREASURE!  The catch is.......that the greatest treasures aren’t gold or pearls at all. The newest addition to the Let’s Pretend Entertainment line up includes a stunning set, clever costumes and a truly valuable message.
