One thing you could try is fishing.....cast a line out along the shore in Savaneta, from the causeway at Renaissance Aruba Beach Resort & Casino or off the rocks at Malmok. Check out the fishing fleet returning at noon or late in the afternoon when it arrives at the Bali pier and see the small wooden boats at Fisherman's Huts heavy with today's catch.

The clean white sands of Aruba provide a playing field for kids where they can let their imagination run away with them. They can dream up and sculpt sandcastles of all shapes and sizes, maybe a dinosaur or two....

Windsurfing lessons are also available for kids. They tend to start early in Aruba, but if you feel this is a little too ambitious for the younger ones, they can still make good use of the wind! Playful tropical breezes make kite flying so easy and so successful from anywhere on the island.

Take the kids to the north shore on a 'safari' and look for wildlife such as wild donkeys, rabbits, goats, iguanas and all sorts of lizards. Don't forget to look up for pelicans and parrots of all colours. If you get lost, just follow the divi divi trees which point towards the area of the island where most hotels are.

You might want to get into a pair of pants or shorts you don't particularly mind messing up a little bit and go for a slide on the dunes at Boca Prins ... it's something like surfing on dry land!

The KIBAIMA MINIATURE VILLAGE PARK shows you some of Aruba's delights in miniature, plus there's a playground for children and surroundings with ample flora and fauna.  Parties also organized. Tel. (297) 5851830

There's also the INDIAN ROCK GARDEN which has a display of many tropical plants and exotic birds. Call Mr. Adolf Oduber on (297) 5847366. Parties also organized.

Some other activities you may want to check out for older children are horseriding and miniature golf.

Its a good idea to check out some things before choosing your hotel, like whether there are activities during the day and evening for kids, for what ages, whether there are baby-sitting services, and things like a kiddie pool and supervised play area. Some hotels have special programs and activities for kids.
