Our note
The children's rate is a good deal less than the adult one, so say who the event is for when you enquire. The gallery has an enclosed compound attached, which gives the children somewhere to spill out to without leaving the site.

What the children do

The gallery can be rented for a children's event at $50 an hour or $100 for a full day. The rates are published in two columns, adult events on the left at $75 an hour or $200 a day, children's events on the right. The gallery is described as a medium-sized space with an open layout, local maritime heritage on display, an enclosed compound attached to the building and a view from the pier. For events with more than 60 guests the cost is doubled.

Good to know

A children's event rate is published and booking is by email or phone. Washrooms, kitchen, parking and accessibility are not mentioned anywhere on the site, so ask when you book.

Sources disagree. Their pages give two different answers for when the children's programs run. One says weekends in July and August, from 11 to 2. The other says Monday mornings, from 10 to 12. Worth checking when you book.
