Providence's Governor Henry Lippitt House offers you a rare opportunity to travel back to the high-Victorian days. In fact, you will feel like you've returned to a different time and place when you tour this house, as the architectural details like hand-carved woodwork, intricate stenciling and ornate chandeliers are just a few of the many stunning features you will find here. This attraction was named a National Historic Landmark in 1976.

At AS220, creative artistic expression is highly encouraged. This popular downtown spot brings together such diverse groups as local artists, families, and tourists to enjoy selections from the city's arts, music and entertainment scene. The venue hosts live performances at least six nights a week that include live bands, poetry readings and performance art, just to name a few. There is also a gallery on site that features a rotating exhibit of the work of local artists.

With the pressures of deadlines and work and bills and everyday life, sometimes you both feel like escaping it all. While you may not be able to escape as far away as you would like, maybe a romantic date on the New England Fast Ferry will create a special memory for the two of you. This ferry covers the area from Providence to Newport and back. Rides are between an hour and an hour and a half, so you can make a little getaway before you both have to come back to reality!

Sometimes, the best family adventures are the ones where you just spend quality time together playing a game of catch after chowing down a picnic lunch. The perfect place to do that in Providence is Richardson Park. The kids will love the PlayBooster and PlayShaper attractions as well as the Humpty Climbers and swings that are all part of this beautiful park. For the older kids, there's fun to be had on the basketball courts, a water park and the big expansive lawn. An afternoon of great family fun awaits at Richardson Park.
