Kids Cove

COUNTING HOUSE

Kids, bring your parents along to our maritime discovery zone overlooking historic Salem Harbor! Take a peek at the Friendship of Salem through the porthole telescope. Imagine life aboard a ship while checking out the harbor view from the helm of our ship. Charts of Salem Harbor as well as a compass rose will help guide the way for adventure.

Open during regular operating hours.

Looking to move around the site a bit more? Ask the admissions associate for a scavenger hunt. If you can complete it, you can return it for a prize!
