Top 10 Things to Do with Kids in Grand Cayman

Margaritaville Grand Cayman

What could be better than ordering your Jimmy Buffet Margaritaville food and drinks and then heading to the adjacent pool, complete with a waterslide? Well ask our kids and it is one of the best things to do in Grand Cayman.

Not to mention, the food at this particular Margaritaville was outstanding!

Rum Point Beach

Rum Point Beach, located on the north side of Grand Cayman, might just be one of our family’s favorite places on the island. Beautiful, calm waters, with perfect sand, palm trees, and shade. Add plenty of lounge chairs, hammocks, a bar, restaurant, bathrooms, and a gift shop, and you have your perfect secluded paradise.

The calm waters provide an excellent environment for the kids to play, and the menu at the onsite restaurant provides some great kid options!

Blow Holes

The Grand Cayman blow holes are located on the south side of the island along Sea View Road. Depending on the waves and wind, one can see spectacular displays at the blow holes, which seem to have a calming effect on kids.

Starfish Point

If you have a vehicle and made it far enough to get to Rum Point, drive a little further down the road and find Starfish Point. While unmarked, the location provides an excellent opportunity to step into serene, calm waters that are teaming with starfish. Feel free to pick them up, but keep them underwater.

Cayman Island Turtle Farm

Spend a day at the Cayman Island Turtle Farm, and be sure to get the all-access pass. Not only will you see the largest sea turtles you will ever see, but your kids will also get to go into tanks and hold smaller versions of turtles. Then swim in the huge pool complete with twisty slide. Or snorkel in the lagoon with fish and turtles. The turtle farm provides a variety of great options that kids will love.

Stingray City

Book an excursion, like the original Captain Marvin’s, out to Stingray City. Located on a sandbar off of Rum Point, guests will jump into the ocean and instantly be surrounded by wild stingrays in the wild. It is an amazing experience that kids will love, not to mention most boats also offer additional stops to snorkel, or even Starfish Point.

The Wharf to Feed the Tarpon

While dinner at The Wharf will set you back a small fortune, the restaurant provides nightly feeding of the tarpon. When the dinner bell rings, they will bring out a bucket of chum to throw to the tarpon. Kids will love seeing the wild fish scurry for food right at their feet.

Queen Elizabeth Botanical Gardens

What kid does not love running through gardens? Well how about if it also includes searching out for the elusive blue iguanas? The grounds provide a variety of different gardens kids will enjoy visiting, searching out wildlife in the shadows.

Camana Bay Splash Pad

Camana Bay Towne Center is located near Seven Mile Beach and offers a variety of upscale dining restaurants and shopping venues. However, they also offer a free, fantastic outdoor splash pad that kids love! Plus it overlooks water and docks, with plenty of chairs for parents to sit and enjoy.

Pedro St James

The oldest structure on the island, which has been gorgeously restored by the government, Pedro St. James provides a great little shows kids may enjoy prior to touring the grounds. In addition, they are free to roam the area and see the animals on property.
