The Ultimate Kid-Friendly Activities List

Family vacations mean a week of planning fun things to do for everyone involved… especially the kids. Luckily, LBI has tons of activities tailor-made just for kids. Between the arcades, mini golf, water parks and amusement parks, the kids will be begging you to plan next year’s trip on the car ride back home!

There’s plenty to do for the younger kids, preteens, teenagers, and even the kids at heart. We’ve compiled a list of the best places to take the kids for when they get sick of hanging with the grownups at the beach.
