ALL TOGETHER NOW "FAMILY TIME" 

Does your family like to stick together? How about a day at the beach? The most kid-friendly beach you can get to is self-titled: Children’s Beach has a great playground, a small restaurant, and the safest, not to mention pretty shallow waters your kids can swim in. And their field and stage often times get filled up with other kid-friendly events and shows. It’s a must-do for any family in the summer.

RAINY DAYS WITH THE KIDS 

On those rainy days, Nantucket’s Boys & Girls Club is the way to go. Run by some of the most inspirational people in the Nantucket community, the Boys & Girls Club is a one-stop spot for your children to have fun and interact with each other in all sorts of ways. They’ve got games, a huge gymnasium, a computer room, and much more for those days where the kids need to get out of the house. Field trips to the museums, movies and more are always in order when it's the stay-inside kind of weather.
Babysitting Services on Nantucket.

Nantucket Babysitters Services is one of the many options for babysitters you have on Nantucket. Their expertise with children and families, however, is unmatched in the community.
