The top attractions in Cayman have been listed on these pages, all of which families will enjoy. With plenty of cool things to do in a hot climate, Cayman is a great destination for children. Outdoor pursuits are popular, meaning you don’t have to go far to find activities for the kids.

For Free
Parks
The most popular of Grand Cayman’s public parks are the well-landscaped Dart Parks. There’s one in each of Grand Cayman’s districts and all have play equipment, restrooms, shaded areas and more. Play a game of giant chess, walk a butterfly trail or throw a Frisbee. Check out Dart Family Park, South Sound; Scholar’s Park, West Bay; Jarold Smith Park, North Sound; and Captain George Nixon Park, East End.

Snorkelling
Snorkelling is an ideal way for young swimmers to learn more about the islands’ picturesque marine life. With a parent by their side most will be happy to explore the colourful schools of fish, crustaceans and, if they’re lucky, sea turtles that inhabit the crystal clear waters. Snorkel gear can be rented from most water sports operators on island.

National Gallery of the Cayman Islands
Located in Harbour Place across from George Town waterfront, the National Gallery has exciting exhibitions that are sure to delight budding art critics. The venue offers a great introduction to local art with the option of guided or self-guided tours.
