4 Best Family Things to Do in Dominican Republic

Trampoline Children's Museum is a fascinating museum with interactive exhibits and workshops focusing on the planet, ecology, the history of humanity, and Dominican culture. This educational museum features 9 rooms and a central courtyard.

The different rooms here each have their own theme, including planet Earth, human beings, weather systems, ecology, and more. Kids love the Paleomundo room with figures of dinosaurs and other historic creatures. You can see it all for yourself in Santo Domingo on the east side of the Colonial Zone.

Conquista Park is a thematic museum and park where you can learn all about the native Taino people and the arrival of the first Europeans in the Caribbean. When you visit the park, you'll find re-creations of scenes using 247 life-sized characters in 27 situations.

The Taino people's encounter with the invading Spaniards changed history forever, and you can see it represented in a way that's easy for kids and adults to understand. There's a museum exhibit at the park as well that showcases more than 130 artefacts from the Taino people. You can get to this park just east of La Romana near the southern shore.
