Things to do

Ready to enlighten your family with enriching history, warm local culture, and natural beauty? Saint John offers an incredible range of experiences sure to impress each family member, from the youngest to the oldest.

Brimming with intrigue, the Museum of Antigua and Barbuda offers a family-centred, educational experience. From intriguing exhibits to research opportunities for those with a voracious appetite for knowledge, this place provides more than just a shelter from the afternoon sun.

The VC Bird Monument, an emblem of national pride, offers an enlightening insight into the life and legacy of V.C. Bird, the first Prime Minister of Antigua and Barbuda. Complete with an idyllic setting for family photo shoots, you'll want this on your travel itinerary.

Don't forget a visit to Fort James, a piece of British history standing proud against the ravages of time.

The sense of stepping back in time at this 18th-century fort makes for an unforgettable experience.

When to visit

There's no 'wrong' time to visit Saint John, but depending on your family's preferences, some periods may be more appealing than others. Weather, cost, and the level of tourist traffic may influence when you plan your trip.

If you and your family relish the sun, consider visiting between January and April when rainfall is minimal. Keep in mind, however, that this period is typically busy, so hotel bookings should be made in advance. For budget-conscious families, consider visiting between May and August when accommodation costs are more affordable and temperatures are still delightfully warm. Lastly, if you're not deterred by rainfall and are keen on taking advantage of as much sunshine as possible, a trip between September and November could be just the ticket.
