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!
An excellent aquatic adventure awaits just a short distance away in Newport.

This is an excellent spot for fishing, shellfishing, sailing and various other water sports. Because of the various tournaments and competitions held here, Narragansett Bay is often referred to as the "Sailing Capital of the World."
