Overlooking Charlotte Amalie is a Fort named for a Danish King: Fort Christian was built in 1672 to protect the town against pirates and European rivals.
Kids will enjoy climbing around the Fort, a National Landmark. The Fort is also a great spot to learn some Caribbean history: it's home to the VirginIslands Museum, and in its old rooms and cells are displays on the islands' natives, the slave trade and slave revolts, and more.
Admission fee is modest. (Actually it was by donation when your Guide visited).
