Watch your step and your children as you explore the ramparts, stairways, and tunnels of the forts of Old San Juan. These ancient, weathered surfaces are rugged and uneven, and frequent passing tropical rain showers can make them wet and slippery. Good sturdy footwear will make your visit safer and more pleasant. The tropical sun is strong and we urge you to bring and wear a hat during your day in Old San Juan.

To prevent falls and injuries, keep your children from climbing on cannon ball pyramids and cannons. Also keep youngsters away from the edges of the steep walls. Food and drink are not permitted inside El Morro and San Cristobal. Smoking is also prohibited.
