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. For information about self-guided walking tours, visit the Providence Preservation Society.

It's true that the relationship you share with your significant other is as unique as a work of art. For a different yet fun way to express that, take an art class together at the East Side Art Center. The center has been open since 1992 and offers you and your date the chance to tap into your hidden talents and express yourselves with paint, sculpture, and other artistic projects. You'll learn a lot about art and each other on a romantic rendezvous here.

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!

Providence is justifiably proud of its Italian culture, and you can celebrate it by taking an unforgettable excursion on La Gondola Providence. When you get on board one of these authentic Venetian gondolas you will feel that Italian charm as the gondolier will serenade you backed by authentic music. Or, if you prefer, he can answer your questions about the sites you will see on your journey. This is a great ride to take before or after dinner, so make sure to call ahead and reserve your spot on this popular Providence attraction.
