The East Bay Bicycle Path is a great way to get to the beach from downtown Providence. This scenic recreation path offers much to see on your way that you will arrive at your destination before you know it! This 14.5 mile asphalt path is popular not only in Providence but in Bristol Counties as well.
The Annmary Brown Memorial is a haven for art lovers of all ages. This museum attraction houses an extensive collection of both European and American art that spans from the Renaissance all the way up to the 20th century. Make plans to stay all afternoon to see it all at a relaxing, enjoyable pace.
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.
Kids are used to being told to keep their hands off of things. Luckily for them, the opposite is the case when the whole family visits the Providence Children's Museum. A hands-on approach is highly encouraged as the kids are able to create their own artwork using the provided paints and other modes of expression. The exhibits and attractions are hands-on and are highly informative and entertaining, presenting such subjects as a time traveling adventure through Rhode Island's multicultural history, and a wet and wild exploration of the ways of water. Those are just a couple of the many great adventures that await you and the kids at the Providence Children's Museum.
