Treasure Island

Be transported to Treasure Island this summer where all is not quite as it seems.

Be transported to Treasure Island this summer where all is not quite as it seems. Join our heroes as they race to solve the clues, find the treasure and defeat the baddies.

Will they outsmart the hungry gorilla intent on eating them, evade the clutches of the ghostly phantom zombie, avoid the slithering tentacles of the giant kraken AND escape the deadly jaws of the island’s resident crocodile? Will the treasure finally be theirs or will the dastardly pirate get his hands on the ultimate prize? Find out this summer at National Maritime Museum Cornwall.

Use your pirate skills to root out the five items you’ll need to escape Treasure Island! Follow our treasure map around the Museum… will you find the X that marks the spot and uncover the treasure?

Make & Take
