Nearby places
A working cathedral you can walk into quietly. Give kids a mission: find a favorite stained-glass window or spot the Spanish coat of arms.
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 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.
Eighteen holes right on the bay beside the Bridge of Lions, a good way to burn off energy between history stops.
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.
Kids join the pirate crew for sword lessons, face painting, sea shanties and a battle for the treasure, and every child goes home with their own treasure chest.
