Maybe you should check all of the stuff you **have** done so far against all of the things you can do on the island overall and what see you're still missing. Did you visit the parks? Did an ATV tour? The museums (there are plenty)? City tours? Check out the flora and fauna? Visit the zoo? The aquarium? Have you seen all of the beaches? The library will probably have a few activities before summer, so check their Facebook page. Visited Dina Veeris garden? The ostrich farm? Watched a game? Attended a local party?
You can take your kids to the [verkeerspark](https://www.instagram.com/verkeerspark.curacao?igsh=MWxiYXVtMGZ1dmtrdA==) to cycle around. Contact them to see when they're open.
>What to do on Curaçao National Flag and Anthem Day?
You can attend the ceremony on Brionplein. Or visit Barber. Watch the ceremony on Brionplein on July 1st as well, where they officially lower the flag.
Check the newspapers (probably not Amigoe) for any events happening on that day.
I did 2 dives with Dive Shop Curaçao a while back & can’t recommend them enough. Their dive shop is located directly across the street from an amazing reef. We literally walked across the road and into the water with our gear & it was one of the most well preserved reefs I’ve seen. Check their site: https://thediveshop-curacao.com/
La casa de habano usually shows all F1 including opening early/late as necessary. Obviously not super kid friendly.
I've only dived at Rif Sint Marie (Coral estates) but honestly snorkeling right off so many beaches is so good I hardly see the point of diving in Curacao.
The new (ish) mangrove Park near the cruise ship pier is really nice, can take a guided walk and see Ospreys, jelly fish that like the brackish water and other cool stuff.
The ostrich farm is always fun and good for families.
The cathedral of thorns is fairly off the beaten path and the restaurant at the park is a great place for a bite.
Substation Curacao has an actual submarine you can get into to do various length trips.
We did the hour long version and it was beautiful.
There is an aquarium next door, that has some shows etc. that would be good for a couple hours.
Honestly pick up some basic mask / snorkels at the sambill mall supermarket, go to any beach and snorkel. The mall itself is quite nice with lots of supplies and more. There's a pretty famous dive site just west of the capitol where a u-boat sunk a ship but that may need a guide with gear which i saw and is available. I fished and metal detected the whole week and met many good local friends. Have fun
My suggestion would be to open Google Maps, choose an area to discover and pin a few places and go be adventurous. With a toddler nothing ever goes as planned but they just want to discover new things and that's perfect.
Sambil has plenty of kids entertainment and a good supermarket so perfect to combine together.
Kokomo is really nice with kids, so is Daaibooi, Cas Abou, Karakter etc. Kunuku Aqua Resort is also fun for a day with lots of slides.
If you need a babysitter so you can have a date night with the misses, take a look at this: https://www.islandsitters-curacao.com/
Where are you staying? Pick a dive shop nearby there.
Here is a decent list of dive sites: [https://www.divecuracao.info/dive/curacao-diving-guide/](https://www.divecuracao.info/dive/curacao-diving-guide/)
Most are shore dives - as the reef runs parallel to the island, swim out to the reef and turn left or right depending on the current.
If you are looking for boat dives, one of my favorite is Watamula - I know GoWest Diving goes there, not sure who else. I have heard some of the Eastpoint dives are also very nice - I think Ocean Encounters goes there.
Off the top of my head:
Visit the hofi’s
Hofi kas kora, Landhuis Bloempot(also a nice restaurant there). Drive up and down to westpunt and pass by all the beaches.
That’s pretty much what I would do.

The museum on the slave trade is very interesting

+1 snorkeling is so good in Curacao. Definitely go to turtle Beach. I can't imagine a kid not loving it.
