The top 12 things to do in Antigua with kids

Here is a short list of fun activities that your families will enjoy while on vacation in Antigua. The island boasts of 365 beaches, one for every day of the year. On days when you need a break from the sun and if you’re willing to explore past the beach then I’d highly recommend to visit the Donkey Sanctuary, Wallings Nature Reserve, or go hiking with Happy Heights.
