Need help with Nassau shore excursions

[disneymom1]

I need suggestions for shore excursions in Nassau with 6 and 8 year olds. Also, is there anything we can do on our own without booking a shore excursion?

We just went on the Thanksgiving Wonder and we have a 6 yr. old and a 3 yr. old...we didn't book any excursions and just walked around but, I have read that there is a pirate museum and the Anast. Garden excursion looks good for children.

We just did Nassau with a 6 year old and a 9 year old. After reviewing the options, we chose the glass bottom boat ride and I think it worked out pretty well. It wasn't too expensive and the kids really enjoyed it.

After we got off the boat, my daughter wanted to spend more time in Nassau. We were unsure about just walking off at random, so we grabbed one of the horse and buggy drivers. We had about a 15-20 minute ride for $20 and saw more of the city than we could have on foot. He even let my daughter take the reins for a few minutes. After the ride he dropped us a block off of the pier and we shopped for a few minutes, then walked back to the boat.
