Mountain top (learn about the usvi history)

Answer 2

Depending on the number of children and your budget, you might well consider taking a cruise. There are so many on board activities for children, the food is abundant and FREE, and you get to experience different islands and explore different beaches at the ports of call. All of the major cruise lines have "clubs" for children and teens. I would suggest you check out Disney, Holland America, Celebrity, Royal Caribbean and Princess, among others. The problem with an island vacation is that there is very little for children to do other than beach stuff. You can, of course, rent a car to visit the island, but the rental can be somewhat expensive,  the roads are not all that great, and if you think gas prices are high here, you will be astonished at how expensive it is on the islands! Nonetheless, if you are determined to vacation in the US Virgin Islands, I would recommend St. John, only because it's prettier and the snorkeling is great.

Answer 3

I would check out st. thomas, lots to see, shopping and you 'll never want to leave Magen's bay....its like a giant wading pool...gorgeous.  also check into St. maarten (not U.S.), i preferred the dutch side of the island, particularly Simpson Bay area/hotels...i could bet your kids would just love a place to dig in the sand and play in the water...these are two great locations

Answer 4

St. Thomas has a wider variety of things to do and more commercial areas.  St. John is much more low-key and relaxing.

Answer 5

I would say St Thomas has more of a variety of things to do with a family. It depends on what your family likes to do and how old they are. I'm providing you with links to St Croix, St Thomas and St John
