Interesting facts. Make sure you watch the video. Would be nice if there were a few more interactive portions to it. More

the store had so fun junky gifts but the exhibit was a waste of money and time... LITERALLY there was playmobile toy set of a pirate ship in the exhibit and a tiny 2 person bench in front of a tv to watch a poorly made movie about blackbeard. REALLY???!!!! Something so interesting was made a joke by this place. More

My husband and I are both graduates from ECU, and with the pirate as our mascot we walked out to Teach's Hole to see what we could purchase that was pirate themed. Unfortunately we were sorely disappointed with what we found - most all of their gift shop items are oriented towards young children and we couldn't find a single... More

It is a very small exhibit, but had a lot of good information and neat things to look at. It took about 15 minutes for us to go through it, reading all of the information plaques and looking at everything. It was only $4, and it was entertaining, so I'd recommend it. More

When my husband suggested we take the kids there (we have 9 year old and 12 year old daughters), I thought, ick. But it was fun. They both like pirates and there are cool things on women pirates there. Great t-shirts and posters on female pirates. And the Blackbeard exhibit was pretty interesting! And it was cheap. More
