In addition, children can see a great diversity of the local architecture of different centuries right in the park, too, as well as the interior of original buildings of the past years. What is more, there is the Lalla Hadria Museum there where you together with kids would see household items, pieces of art, and local traditional costumes. And, as children have become satisfied with all those new exciting things they would learn, then it’s time for going to crocodile farm (only one of its kind in Tunisia). A crazy amount of crocodiles of many kinds live there. They were brought here from Madagascar, and they’ve greatly increased their population here by now and presently they just absolutely enjoy their lives. So, if your kids are fond of such animals, then there is an opportunity to try feeding them (the activity takes place in the evenings just about sunsets).
Kids would probably become highly thrilled about the island’s culture, in that case, you could have a nice day in Guellala – the local centre of pottery. Kids can either just watch how professionals do it or even try themselves to create a plate or a pitcher. Besides, there is the Ethnographic Museum on the hill (with a wonderful view, by the way) where traditional costumes, weapons, tools, and musical instruments of Djerba inhabitants are presented.
You can also visit the Regional Museum near Borj EL Kebir where you’ll be told about the most peculiar historical periods of the island. In addition, kids would probably be especially interested in the ancient castle itself. It was built in the 13th century and rebuilt in the 16th one. It looks really severe and its whole look reminds of the times of brave warriors. Kids who are keen on everything unusual would like to go to the ancient El Ghriba Synagogue (more than 2,5 thousand years old).
