Every parent knows the feeling. You’re on a dream summer vacation, surrounded by pristine scenery, and suddenly you hear those two dreaded words from tiny voices: “I’m bored.” While Nantucket’s legendary beaches and charming cobblestone streets offer plenty for all ages to love, holding a child’s attention is a never-ending battle.
