While you can enjoy a cocktail and lounging at the beach, the kids will totally love learning about volcanoes, lava, and how they erupt. Take the Crater Rim Drive to see steam vents, recent lava flows and the giant, fuming summit crater of Kilauea Volcano. Also be sure to check out the Jaggar Museum where the kids can touch types of lava and make their own earthquake on the seismograph.
