Pirates Cove is a walk-through fun house at Trimper's Rides in Ocean City, Maryland. It was designed by dark-ride designer Bill Tracy and opened in 1972. The park says it is one of only two Bill Tracy walk-through attractions left in the world.
Visitors walk through a dark, pirate-themed building with stunts and effects. Pirates Cove was kept when the park was reorganized in 2020, along with the carousel, the Haunted House and Tidal Wave. The minimum height is 30 inches.
