South Street Seaport Museum Announces April Monthly Family Activity: Lenape Games

April 3 – 26, 2026

11am–4:30pm | 14 Fulton Street | Included in General Admission

Your General Admission ticket to the South Street Seaport Museum includes fun monthly activities for the whole family. Timely hands-on activities and engagement stations for visitors of all ages provide creative opportunities that illuminate history and life at sea while enhancing your visit to the Seaport Museum galleries, the tall ship Wavertree, and the lightship Ambrose.

Come to the Seaport Museum to celebrate the Lenape Games on April 3, 4, 5, 10, 11, 12, 17, 18, 19, 24, 25, and 26. Book your free April family activity tickets here. The activity will take place indoors at 14 Fulton Street.

April offers families the opportunity to experience the Greater New York region’s rich past through fun, interactive games! Discover the traditions of the area’s Indigenous people and play the same games that were enjoyed here long before the city we know today.

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.
