Travel with children - US and British Virgin Islands - page 92

Virgin Islands for Kids
Island culture welcomes children with open arms. St Thomas, St John and St Croix are the
easiest for family travel, as they hold the majority of kid-friendly resorts (plus - for US
visitors - there's no passport requirement). The British Virgins have family offerings too,
just not quite to the extent of the USVI.
Eating Out
The vast majority of restaurants are family friendly. Many offer special children's menus,
but even without it, eateries typically have burgers and pizza as part of their line-up. The
ambience tends to be informal and relaxed wherever you go.
