Looking for an activity that will both educate and terrify environmentally-inclined youngsters this summer? Or just a place to indulge in your Hook fetish in pubic? Look no further than the The Mobile Urban Nature Center & Micro-Maritime Museum, a museum of nautical wonder housed inside of a trailer. It'll be parked at the IKEA Erie Basin Park in Red Hook all summer, where a crew of buccaneers, Barbary Corsairs and pirates (who are actually a part of the nonprofit Urban Divers Estuary Conservancy) will attempt to make environmentalism entertaining. They're hosting a series of dorky-fun events, including a Pirates Fest and Medieval Festival Of The Ages—here's an idea of what to expect. (Just remember to avoid shopping with your pirate sword.)
