About this place
Ask at the desk for the guide made for kids, then turn the collection into an I Spy hunt for odd objects. Strollers are fine in most galleries, not all.

Nearby places
A big PB&J on the menu, and colorful art in the gallery next door to look at while you wait.
An ornate Alhambra-style house full of strange rooms and objects, with an audio tour. It can win over a tween. Stairs and no elevator, so leave the stroller.
A compact history gallery where a timeline walks from Spanish and British colonial rule to today. Short enough for a school-age kid's attention span.
A 19th-century boarding house with its rooms still furnished. Kids can compare the tiny shared sleeping room with their own and ask the guide who stayed.
A guided tour of colonial surgery, antique tools and a mock amputation included. Best for older kids into gross history; sensitive ones may not enjoy it.
A shady square with old cannons to look at, trees to run around and a gazebo to dance in, while you sit with a snack.
