South Street Seaport Museum hosts free Family Day on September 26

The South Street Seaport Museum will host a campus-wide Family Day on Saturday, Sept. 26, 2026, from 11:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. The free event offers interactive activities, games, and access to historic ships across the Seaport district.

Visitors can participate in a bingo-style activity card system, collecting stamps by stopping at various stations throughout the museum’s exhibitions and vessels. Completing the full bingo card earns participants a special prize.

Activities scheduled across the campus include historic printing demonstrations, cyanotype craft creation, and a food-themed sensory activity inspired by Taste of the Seaport. Guests can also solve rebuses aboard the 1885 tall ship Wavertree, play traditional Lenape games, and complete a scavenger hunt inside the Maritime City exhibition.

The event includes free General Admission to view the museum’s featured exhibition, The Promise of Liberty: Words That Shaped a Nation. The program marks one of the final opportunities to view the display before it closes on Sept. 27.

While admission to the full day of programming is free to the public, advanced registration is suggested. Visitors can reserve tickets online ahead of the event.
