My twins always have enjoyed R.W.P & Zoo everytime we come regardless of which activities they or my wife & I pick for the day. There is so much to do, if u truly know this park inside and out as I do, that your family could come here for 7 days in a row and just about finish everything. If u walk it to save gas, bring your own food and drinks, plus use coupons and AAA specials, it could be less than $100 spend the entire week, the zoo being the most expensive part and roughly 35-50% depending on what u use to buy tickets. That without it, u could spend $7/per day for the WHOLE family (of 4), thats less than $2 person per day. Now, try to find a place that u can do that for the entire week, be satisfied and not even do the same thing over and over if u so choose to explore. But thats also the key, exploring, there are boat rides; pirate/ swan/ even duck tours/ if u have yr own, fishing/ kayaking/ toy gas, electric boats. A suitable playground to go to everyday with mini, horse, camel, carousel, train rides etc. Visit the Zoo, a given. Horse stables for prov. finest and company. Gardens all over. Trails to traverse in and all around the park. Tennis courts. Baseball/Softball field. Plenty of biking. Amplified theater, if u like to play almost any instrument. Monuments, all around to see about various RI history. A casino for the occasional job fair and other hosted events. A Museum with the elusive, renovated planetarium that most people have no idea about. Have a reunion/ family / birthday/ company party? Rent an area out and (grab a permit). Plus a few more hidden gems to explore i wont mention, etc. So need to relax for the weekend or even a couple? Bring everyone, even the grandparents and the baby some free perks might help you out, there. Bring a blanket have a picnic or just lay back and sun bathe. Enjoy!!!

Im a little embarrassed how long Ive lived in New England and that I never visited Roger Williams Park until this past year. The most surprising part for me was the size of the park. The grounds are enormous and the park includes a zoo, lake, botanical gardens, Japanese Gardens, and more. You could explore this park all day, and there is plenty to do for the whole family. Very well maintained, beautiful, and worth the stop if you are in the area.

This is a fine place to go with family, or a loved one. Beautiful scenery, a carousel ride, museum, a foot-paddle boat rental area that allows you to tour the small lake inside the park. Not to mention a full zoo with plenty of different animals to view. A good place to walk and get exersize, or a slow drive-thru .

Great for kids, great for families. Brought my Californian girlfriend here when we were visiting family and it was a great time spent alone with flying horses and strange rabbits. This Carousel is super well kept - it looks the same now as when I was riding it as a kid, 25 years ago...

Beautiful park large park with lots of activities like pony rides and swan boats. On Fridays in the summer the park hosts food trucks that serve aside range of dishes. Parking and traffic is bad, and the lines can be long but it is well with it.

Roger Williams brings many wonderful memories, with many new additions. I loved the signage, bike and walking paths. However they could do a better job if the side walks and lawn maintenance throughout the park.

Great place to take small kids. Carousel, small train are always the kids favories. The neighboring playground and Japanese garden are also great places to spend the afternoon with the kids.

The carousel goes real fast. And there are a lot of different styles of horses. I like the train because its really thrilling. They were also a pony ride which I really enjoyed.

We didnt go into the zoo portion. We just walked around the Japanese garden. It seems to be be poor condition, needing much TLC. Trash in many spots and overgrown shrubbery.

Great playground, keeps my kids entertained. The carousel is definitely a favorite. The only downside is the lack of bathroom availability when the carousel is closed.

Great for a run during the day! Just watch out for the broken liquor bottles and used condoms strewn about from whatever the heck happens here at night.
