Oldest House Museum Complex and Gardens

Student art from local schools hangs here at times, so a budding artist sees work by kids their age. Classes and camps come up too.

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 small boat out looking for wild dolphins and birds, and the guide drops an underwater microphone so kids can hear what's below.

A two-hour tall-ship sail where the crew gets kids helping to raise the sails. Better for older kids and teens than toddlers.

Kids join the pirate crew for a treasure hunt, sea shanties, sword-fighting lessons and water cannons. Pick the all-ages sail, not the adults-only one.

Eighteen holes right on the bay beside the Bridge of Lions, a good way to burn off energy between history stops.
