Saturdays and Sundays throughout August offer families the opportunity to experience the Greater New York region’s rich past through fun, interactive games at the South Street Seaport Museum!

Learn more and get tickets here.

Family-friendly activities include Selahtinalìtin (sˈɛlɑːtˌɪnɐlˌɪtɪn): a scattering straws game similar to Pick Up Sticks or Jackstraws, and Mamantuhwin (mˈæmɐntˌuːwɪn): a dice-and-bowl game inspired by the whirligig beetle. Experience the excitement of these traditional games and connect with the history of Lenapehoking, the land now known as South Street Seaport.
