Arranging an outing can be difficult in the best of times, and adding kids into the mix can make things infinitely more complicated. You don’t always know if a place is going to be child-proof—as much as that is even possible. Fortunately, Rhode Island has a variety of family-friendly activities that will keep both children and adults entertained.

For a start, you can’t go wrong with the Providence Children’s Museum. Dedicated to hands-on learning for children eleven and younger, the museum combines learning with physical interaction and projects. Learn more about the Providence Children’s Museum at www.childrensmuseum.org.

When the weather is nice, you can’t go wrong with the Roger Williams Park Zoo in Providence.

If you have a full day and the sun is shining, consider taking a trip out to Block Island. The ferry ride alone is a pleasant, calming experience for adults, and a fun adventure for kids. The island is full of beautiful crafts, good food, and some great beaches. If your family likes to hike, check out the Clayhead Nature Trail, known to natives as The Maze. With ferries leaving from both Point Judith and Newport, you can catch a ride out to the island at first light and be back on the mainland in time for bed, with a lot of family-friendly fun in between. For more information on the island, visit www.blockislandinfo.com.

If you’re a sports fan, check out one of Rhode Island’s local teams. The Pawtucket Red Sox are the minor league affiliate of the Boston Red Sox. Major league games may get all the attention, but for affordable, traditional American baseball, you can’t go wrong with the Pawsox. In addition, they’ll be playing fifteen home games in June, meaning you shouldn’t have trouble finding a game that fits your schedule. Learn more about the team here.
