Perfect Family Vacation

Vacationing With the Family in Curacao
By Justin Burch

Of all the Caribbean’s many destinations, Curacao may have the most to offer children and their families. From the family-friendly resorts to the island’s small-town ambience, Curacao is an ideal destination for a Caribbean family vacation. To get the most out of your trip, consider including some the activities outlined here in your Curacao vacation package.

Perhaps the most unique of Curacao’s family attractions is the Curacao Seaquarium. Constructed in 1984, this oceanfront complex is renowned for its open-water system that continuously pumps fresh seawater into the holding tanks. For younger children, the touch tanks and feeding shows offer great opportunities to interact with sea creatures. The Seaquarium also allows visitors to snorkel and dive with sea turtles, tropical fish and other distinctive animals. When you’re done in the water, head over to the on-site museum and theatre for additional learning possibilities. The beach outside the Seaquarium is also great place for children, highlighted by kid-friendly water sports and charming restaurants.

For a more personal interaction with everyone’s favorite sea creature, the Dolphin Academy Curaçao offers visitors of all ages an opportunity to swim, snorkel or dive with these extraordinary animals in a variety of programs. The all-ages Dolphin Encounter lets children stand on a platform in the holding tank amongst the dolphins. After trainers teach you the basics, the dolphin will come by for a hug.
