Providence Children's Museum

Providence Children’s Museum, Rhode Island’s only hands-on museum especially for families, is an active place where kids and grown-ups play and learn together. Located in Providence’s Jewelry District, the Museum presents interactive exhibits and lively programs for children ages 1 to 11. Climb high into the sky and wriggle through worm tunnels and critters’ burrows in two new outdoor play and learning environments in The Children’s Garden. Investigate the power of air, light, sound and magnetism in Play Power. Splash around in Water Ways, a wet and wild playscape of pumps and fountains. Discover Littlewoods, a whimsical woodland environment especially for young children. Hours: September to March, open Tuesday - Sunday and Monday school holidays, 9 AM to 6 PM. April to August, open daily. Select Fridays until 8 PM.
