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.

The Roger Williams Park Zoo is one of the oldest zoos in the country. That legacy is just one of the many things that will make your visit to this attraction truly memorable. The staff has worked hard over time to present the animals and various species in their natural habitats and the attention to detail is obvious as you move from one animal exhibit to another. See favorites like monkeys, kangaroos, lions and tigers as well as an impressive collection of birds and reptiles. The whole family will go wild on this incredible visit to the animal kingdom!

It's rare to find so much history all in one place, but that is exactly what you will find when you encounter Benefit Street's Mile of History. This is perhaps the most impressively concentrated group of original Colonial homes in the country. See the amazing details that adorn the restored houses and churches, and visit the museums that overlook the city's equally historic waterfront.
