If you're planning some family fun on your visit to Cape Cod, Martha's Vineyard or Nantucket Island, you may be thinking "beaches." And it's a great way to think; miles of public beaches mean hours of fun. But don't forget all the other activities your kids — and you? — won't want to miss: the Cape Cod Children's Museum, the Water Wizz waterpark, Pirate Adventures (for a taste of the pirate life) and much more.
