What are some things to do with kids in San Juan? Age 10 and 12, May 2008?

Question

Hi,

We're coming to PR in May and don't know what to do with the kids. We're kind of familiar with the rainforest attractions and the El Moro, but are there more kid friendly things to do? Are there any amusement or water parks?

Thanks!

Theresa

Answer 2

Oh Puerto Rico is great for families. There is a ton of things they can do. There is El Tuque waterpark in Ponce or the Coqui waterpark at El Conquistador in Fajardo, the Mayaguez Zoo, there is the Arecibo lighthouse & kids Park. They might also like to see the Arecibo Telescope, its the largest radio telescope in the world & Rio Camuy caves are near by also. El Yunque rainforest like you mentioned has easy hikes & waterfalls. Luquillo beach nearby is nice for families. Also there is Las Croabas bioluminescent Lagoon which glows in the dark. If they are too young to do the kayak alone they can sit wit you guys. None of these things are in San Juan so you would need a rental car most likely. In San Juan yes El Morro will be a nice sight for them to see & discover. They can do captain duck tours around san juan or maybe horseback riding on the beach, it depends what they like. Also in San Juan there is a Childrens Museum, I never went so I dont know what its like & there is also a childrens theatre.

Answer 3

in san juan they have a childrens museum, the cost its about 7 per adult and 3 per children. its cute, very organized and educational. my son loved it. well, they do have en el morro kites ur kids could fly, and its really fun. In the southern part of the island in salinas they have what its called el albergue olimpico which they have a nice cool water park with one of the biggest wave pools and a zoo as well. in mayaguezin  the western part of the island called porta del sol, they have the biggest zoo in the island. in bayamon were i live near san juan they have what its called wonder park a little theme park inside a building, great for kids. have fun!

Answer 4

There is a waterpark in Aguadilla about 2 hours from San Juan calld Las Cascadas. I recommend surfing lessons in Isla Verde, pretty cool and safe. visit the bio bay of Fajardo of Vieques by kayak. also las Cavernas de Camuy (Caves). Take care Raul
