We also spend a lot of time hiking and exploring the unique ecosystem of Rhode Island. I suggest including Ninigret Park into your trip if you also enjoy learning while you vacation. The educational opportunities in the museum are just as incredible as the the nature walks outside. This jewel located in Charlestown Rhode Island is one you shouldn’t miss.

I can’t tell you how many times my children have enjoyed this one of a kind attraction. They love the wooden horses and the magic of winning loops. The Watch Hill Beach Carousel is combining the best of yesterday and the greatness of today. If your children are as obsessed as mine with pop culture you should also see Taylor Swift’s house in the area.

This is one of my favorite destination, the eclectic mixture of the old and the new sprinkled with the charm that artist bring makes this a fun location for the kid in all of us. The Umbrella Factory features tall bamboo, live animals that freely roam, and the shopping were delightful. The children enjoyed lunch at the cafe and homemade ice cream.
