Family Activities Aboard the Mystic Whaler

In addition to the deck tours, the crew of the Mystic Whaler has organized a series of educational activities designed to engage both children and adults. Among the offerings are ‘Plankton Pals,’ an interactive session where participants can learn about marine life, and ‘Ship in a Bag,’ a creative activity that allows families to craft their own miniature ship models.

The Mystic Whaler’s visit to Ventura Harbor provides a unique opportunity for families to connect with maritime history and enjoy a day of learning and fun on the water. The ship is scheduled to depart on Tuesday, June 1, so those interested in experiencing this floating piece of history should plan their visit soon.
