What are some must see's/dos for a 12 year old boy this summer?

Hello Heather,

There are a number of great family activities available across the Island. 

I would recommend renting bikes and cycling along the Confederation Trail or the Gulf Shore Parkway in the Prince Edward Island National Park, visiting the Island’s many beaches and day use parks, trying out the Rise and Climb Adventure Course, participating in the Sensational Sandcastles experience within the PEI National Park and either going on a deep-sea fishing tour, river cruise, lobster cruise or on a sailboat adventure. Your family might also enjoy the trails and interpretation centre at the Prince Edward Island National Park - Greenwich or visit a local farm such as Hope River Farm and Island Hill Farm or a Farmers Market.

Cavendish is at the heart of several attractions! There are many family-focused parks such as Shining Waters and Sandspit, as well as Crossfire Adventure Paintball, and Black Light Mini Golf. 

Other family favourites that I would recommend are The Bottle Houses, Canadian Potato Museum, Village Musical Acadien, Grandpa's Antique Photo Studio, Victoria-by-the-Sea, Cows Creamery, Orwell Corner Historic Village and Point Prim Lighthouse, as well as some of our Authentic PEI Experiences. Also, you might enjoy taking a look at the great family itineraries that are available on the Tourism PEI website for even more ideas.

I hope you enjoy exploring PEI:)
