Pirates Dinner Adventure presents a high-energy dinner theatre built around a full-scale pirate ship moored inside an indoor arena. Stunt performers, acrobats, and singers stage a pirate battle with pyrotechnics while guests eat a buffet dinner. The ship and water setting make for a more visually dramatic backdrop than competing dinner attractions in the area.
Like Medieval Times nearby, it is aimed squarely at families with children, though the theatrical energy is high enough that adults on their own tend to have a decent time. Beach Boulevard has become Buena Park's entertainment row, with Pirates, Medieval Times, and Knott's Berry Farm all within a short stretch of road.
