Playgrounds and things to do with kids in Kauai

Play structures shaped like a volcano, a canoe and a sugarcane train, each one a bit of island history to climb on.

A large wooden climbing structure with a smaller play area nearby, so big kids and toddlers each have their own.

A keiki pond for young swimmers right under the main lifeguard tower, and monk seals hauled out on the sand some days. Give them room.

Two saltwater ponds walled off from the surf by boulders, one shallow enough for a first snorkel among the puffer fish.

Eighteen holes winding through botanical plantings, with Hawaiian history displays to read between putts.
