Museo del Niño de Carolina

San Juan


Kids love this sprawling hands-on museum in suburban San Juan. Interactive and fun displays focus on volcanoes, electricity and music, while dress-up areas, a minicity and construction sites let them play at being grown up. Outside, an MD-82 American Airlines plane is perfect for exploring; a small petting zoo and go-carts are also big hits. Perfect for a rainy day.
