There’s nothing like the tender warmth of a baby animal to melt your heats and your worries. Let the stress of our current situation be washed away by the warm cuddles and the tiny bleets of a newborn baby goat.

They needn’t say a word, their warm cuddles, sweet eyes and tiny hellos, tell you everything is ok in that moment. They will help you let go of your anxiety and relax into a gentle peace, focusing on the loving little being cuddled in the safety of your arms.

Motorcycles – exhilarating and adrenaline pumping!

__

Starting life as modified bicycles, motorcycles advanced public transportation and excited people on and off the racetrack. As the popularity of motorcycles grew, several types were built to accommodate sporty, off-road and comfortable riding.

__

This exhibit shares highlights of the evolutionary journey from the earliest bikes built in the late 1800s up until the start of the technological boom in the 1990s. From teetering bicycles to roaring superbikes in the space of a century- we will see what makes riders, motorcyclists and bikers thrill to the freedom of the open air.

There’s nothing like the tender warmth of a baby animal to melt your heats and your worries. Let the stress of our current situation be washed away by the warm cuddles and the tiny bleets of a newborn baby goat.

They needn’t say a word, their warm cuddles, sweet eyes and tiny hellos, tell you everything is ok in that moment. They will help you let go of your anxiety and relax into a gentle peace, focusing on the loving little being cuddled in the safety of your arms.

EACH VISITOR MUST BE WEARING A MASK AT ALL TIMES! You will be asked to wash your hands before and after you handle the baby goats.

Information on what to expect when you come skating during COVID-19 regulations:

– We will be following all capacity regulations required by the state of Rhode Island which means much smaller skating sessions with plenty of room for social distancing.

– In accordance with the regulations of the state and the city of East Providence, the proper wearing of masks and cloth face coverings is required and enforced in our building to keep everyone safe. We do understand that skating with a mask or cloth face covering isn’t ideal, however we will be keeping our three industrial sized air conditioning systems on full blast to keep the building at a comfortable temperature for you. Masks and cloth face coverings can only be removed when sitting in designated tables and only while eating.

– Our ticket office, concession stand, skate rental, and ticket redemption counters have all been upgraded to include wide plexiglass panels to protect the staff and customers.

– We will be conducting health screenings as you enter the building at our ticket office and we will have separate entrances and exits. We will also be taking contact information as a precaution for any contact tracing needs as required by the state.

– We ask that when you visit that you please follow the social distancing markers throughout the building and any further instruction by the staff when asked.

– Seating will be assigned in our concession area for anyone who would like to eat and the tables are not only separated but some are also blocked off to provide even more distancing. We will be following all restaurant guidelines in our concession area. There still will be distanced seating available around the rest of the building, but eating won’t be allowed at these tables. Both seating and eating areas will be fully sanitized between customers. Our entire staff has also completed COVID-19 Precaution Training provided by the National Restaurant Association.

– Laser Storm will also be restricted to players only and will have smaller games with laser packs fully disinfected and rotated out in between uses. Join a public game or request a private game for just you and your friends!

– In addition to the continued disinfecting of rentals, we will be rotating them out so that each rental isn’t used twice in the same day, and thanks to having over 700 rentals, most won’t be used in the same week. We would like to remind skaters that socks are required when using our rentals and we do have socks available for purchase at our ticket office in case anyone forgets them.

– Sanitizing stations, hand sanitizer, and disinfectants are available throughout our building at all times.

Every Friday Glue Factory Comedy and the Trinity Beer Garden present the best comedians in New Englnad at a live, socially-distanced outdoor show in downtown Providence. Tickets are free but seating is limited so call for reservations. Great night for a beer and a laugh!

Motorcycles – exhilarating and adrenaline pumping!

__

Starting life as modified bicycles, motorcycles advanced public transportation and excited people on and off the racetrack. As the popularity of motorcycles grew, several types were built to accommodate sporty, off-road and comfortable riding.

__

This exhibit shares highlights of the evolutionary journey from the earliest bikes built in the late 1800s up until the start of the technological boom in the 1990s. From teetering bicycles to roaring superbikes in the space of a century- we will see what makes riders, motorcyclists and bikers thrill to the freedom of the open air.
