Coral World
Seriously, anybody who's even thought about going into the water around here needs to go to Coral World first. And if you've already been in the water, well, it's never too late to get it right. I mean, when was last time you went to a zoo and afterwards got to go hang out with the animals in their own environment? Or more to the point, as the world's most famous naturalist, Charles Darwin, once observed, "Doing what little one can to increase the general stock of knowledge is as respectable an object of life as one can in any likelihood pursue." And if it's just a little fun and adventure you're after, Coral World has you covered there, too, with a neat shark encounter, and Sea Trekkin'.

Tillett Gardens
Since the property's namesake, Jim Tillett, transformed the site of an old Danish farm in the 1960's, Tillett Gardens has remained one of St. Thomas' most beloved artistic havens.
