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 salt air and ocean breeze are the perfect backdrop for the truly unique tour experience that is the Rhode Island Bay Cruises. This is the best way to see Narragansett Bay aboard the luxurious 400-passenger Catamaran Millennium. From this comfortable vantage point, you will see such sites as 10 lighthouses, 10 islands, Historic Fort Adams, Hammersmith Farm, waterfront mansions, the Jamestown and Newport Bridges as well as the Aircraft Carrier USS Forrestal. The catamaran will also glide through Newport Harbor which is filled with sailboats and yachts.
