In nearby Corpus Christi, there are plenty of things – both educational and recreational – for kids to do. See the Related eHow “Enjoy Padre Island National Seashore” for general information about the park and the activities offered there. Many of these are appropriate for children as well as adults. Participate in park-sponsored walks, talks and programs while you are visiting. These will help kids learn about the natural and historical aspects of the park. Time your visit with a release of baby Kemp’s-Ridley sea turtles into the Gulf. This is a fascinating process that kids will love to observe, and it will teach them about the endangered turtles.
