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.

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 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!

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.
