We’ve talked in the past about how “pet friendly” Hilton Head Island is - as a mom I feel I’m remiss in not mentioning all of the Hilton Head activities and attractions for Kids and Families! Beyond the beach and digging in the sand, there are tons of things for kids to do in the area - things that are going to amuse mom and dad also. Lets face it, a happy kid on vacation leads to happy moms and dad’s on vacation.
If you’re into adventure - try out Adventure Cove (warning there’s music on that site!). This entertainment center has a water park, a parachute ride, laser tag, a 4D movie theatre, bumper cars, virtual roller coasters and more. You could spend a whole day here and not run out of fun stuff to do before you ran out of the energy needed to do them all!
The Art Cafe is a hit with everyone - select your own potter and paint it - make your OWN Hilton Head souvenir for Grandma and Grandpa - it’s the perfect gift.
The Coastal Discovery Musem is open year round and offers a great variety of indoor and outdoor exhibits. There are activity centers and you can sign up for one or more of 11 different cruises that take you around the island to learn more about the unique history, flora and fauna.
Saddle up for a ride through the Sea Pines Forest Preserve with Lawton Stables (843) 671-2586. Sea Horse Farms (843)681-7746) offers beach rides. Keep in mind, minimum age for trail rides from both purveyors is 8-years-old.
If you’re going to be on-island from June through August - the kids might enjoy some Kayak lessons or even Kayak Camp. Outside Hilton Head offers something for kids starting at age SEVEN!
If you’re staying at a resort some will offer on-site kid’s programs - but if you’re choosing a vacation rental or other lodging - consider putting together a variety of activities and making your own kid camp! I always recommend vacation rentals as I love to have a kitchen and not have to rush to breakfast when the kids’ feet hit the floor.
