Nantucket Family & Kids Fun

Nantucket can be a summer paradise for families! If you are visiting Nantucket with kids, you can take them on family nature walks, sign the young kids up for summer camp & enroll the teens in art classes and sports camps. There are children’s theater programs, puppet shows, and music lessons. And, of course, the whole family can enjoy days at the beach, sailing & fishing trips, and so much more. Check out our Nantucket calendar of events for children and families.
