fsuhockette Posted August 27, 2018 #1 Share Posted August 27, 2018 We will be traveling the first part of February with our 11, 10 and 5 year olds. What is the best option? They are all fairly well traveled and will do/try anything. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AmberCascades Posted August 28, 2018 #3 Share Posted August 28, 2018 The forts. Old San Juan is very walkable and you can probably do both forts in one day if you were interested. I've only been inside San Cristobel, but we walked to El Morro. There is a huge green space out front where people picnic, fly kites and kids can run around. I'm not much interested in forts, but I found San Cristobel interesting and the kids might think the forts are cool. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NorthCarolinaBelle Posted August 30, 2018 #4 Share Posted August 30, 2018 Yes, the forts are great! Another fun thing is the sidewalk vendors sell a treat similar to a snow cone, but oh, so much better! If you like cats, there are lots of them strolling around in Old San Juan. They are feral, but harmless. The city has an organization that traps and neuters them and then releases them. There's also a big common area where old men play dominoes that is neat. Enjoy!

Is there a beach within walking distance of the pier? I am sailing on the Harmony in December Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pdc2013 Posted September 1, 2018 #8 Share Posted September 1, 2018 Walking distance no but 5-10 minute cab ride yes and not expensive. If you are not going to explore the old city then definitely go to the beach.I just replied to an other question and here is a package you can look at. https://puertoricocruiseexcursions.com/excursion/san-juan-beach-break/ I just realized that they changed their location and now have a pool and a roof top terrace! Still on that great beach, i now have to try that too! Is there a beach within walking distance of the pier?
