Activities, Places to See with Kids

Thigs to do for kids aged 5-10? We have a number of guests traveling in with children for a wedding and was wondering what activities you would recommend. Thanks!

Butterfly Farm
Donkey Sanctuary
Aruba Ostrich Farm
Adenture Mini Golf

Buccaneer Restaurant with fishtanks at each table. Kids will love it and the food is both good and reasonably priced.

Unless you have kids you don't really think about things for them to do....great choices though Cindyo.....especially Depalm Island and even the movies.....
What about a banana boat ride ??? Not sure about ages though...

6 & 8 Yr olds 5th trip
5 & 4 Yr olds 3rd trip
They still just want Mom and Dad at the beach or the pool playing with them. Take a couple of small float toys and spend some quality time. Its what they want and need most. Have a great trip!
