Top Activities for Family Fun

Discover family-friendly attractions and activities.

The nation's oldest city comes alive for the entire family -- every day. Many attractions offer fun for the whole family — from toddlers to teens — such as a pirate-themed museum, the nation's oldest masonry fort, an iconic lighthouse, and zoological parks. Others offer a great way to have fun with your tweens and teens, like escape rooms, archeological sites, and parasailing. For families of every age, there is always something fun to explore, boats to ride, jungle gyms to climb, scary ghost tours, and animals to learn about in St. Augustine.
