Archie and Dad attended the media event for Treasure Hunt: The Ride at Cannery Row this morning, and we’ve got the details for this brand-new Monterey attraction! Archie is a huge pirate fan and will have a pirate-themed birthday celebration in two weeks, so he was very excited to check out this ride. 🏴☠️
This a 4-part, 15-20 minute immersive experience. You can just ride or purchase power tokens for $5 to play a treasure-hunting game as you experience the ride. You use “treasure collectors” to aim for and collect treasures and earn points. You ride in an old-fashioned ore cart along a track through a secret cavern, and you will see, hear, smell, and feel things along the way.
This ride is AMAZING! The quality and detail of everything is incredible. As an adult, I loved it and will bring my wife back on a date. Truthfully, the ride was a bit much for Archie, who is four years old. There was a lot about the experience that he liked, but there were things that scared him and were overstimulating. The ride features exploding cannons, bright lights, smoke, squirting water, and other (awesome) elements that may be exciting and thrilling to some children or potentially overwhelming or frightening to others. This is something to consider before bringing a younger or more sensitive child.
I am excited that we now have something like this in town! It is a high-quality experience and so cool. @visitcanneryrow
