While vacationing at Hilton Head make sure to stop by the awesome Public Library, located on 11 Beach City Road near the Business Hwy 278 mile marker 4. It’s educational, fun, free, air-conditioned, and most important kids love it! The library it’s very modern. It has a huge children room equipped with cozy reading couch, baby corner, computer stations and even a theater area. I was surprised to see some interesting art pieces displayed on the hallways.

The library it’s opened daily except Sunday. Hours are Monday through Saturday from 9AM to 8PM, Friday and Saturday till 5PM.

Lana’s excited to enter the Children Room at the library

So she can read with her friends Winnie and Piglet

Or have a laugh putting on a silly puppet show

Babies always have fun playing at the library

Nothing like the mother-daughter bond reading together

Bigger kids enjoy the computer games and video books

In the end it’s all about having fun!

Here are more ideas on how to keep kids entertained without spending a ton of money:

• Be a pilot, a puppet show director, a ship captain, a chef, an artist or train conductor at Sandbox Interactive Children Museum ($6 admission)

• Learn about the Hilton Head island history, the rich Gullah culture and sign up for some fun family programs at the Coastal Discovery Museum (free museum admission; guided tours, cruises and beach walks are $5-$30)

• Visit the Harbour Town Lighthouse ($3 admission), the Nature Center (free) and the 4,000 years old Indian Village inside Sea Pines Resort and Forest Preserve ($5 to enter the plantation)

Staying curious forever? Priceless!
