This is a great little stop for kids about 10 and under! They can touch everything! In fact, they are expected to play with the props while the parent either reads a few little signs or just plays with them, learning about early Rhode Island history. Such a cool place, not to mention the water room. My kids loved it so much over the years. I am now happy to bring my granddaughter there!

Had a great day at the children's museum with my 4 year old nephew. He really enjoyed all aspects of the museum but the water section in the first floor was definitely his favorite. As an adult, my favorite part was he autumnal crafts on the second floor. Being Cape Verdean, I was so excited to see the little education section of the Nellie Mae ship coming to America from Cape Verde and I was able to relate it back to our family for my nephew. Lots to see and do at the museum, the staff was amazing, the building was very clean, and it wasn't too crowded on a Friday afternoon.

popsoda77 | Aug 27, 2019

Toddlers and most ages. My 4 year old loves this place. But any child from 2-12 can enjoy lots of great games, exhibits, and fun.

Are there any free or discounted days?

Cheryl Ann Lainhart | Aug 27, 2018
Donna Noonan | Aug 27, 2018

If you have Neighborhood Health Plan insurance, show your insurance card for one free admission ticket. If you receive RI food stamps, show your EBT card for free admission for 4 pal, and if you work for Met Life, they have free Friday night admission. I hope that helps you.

SUB TonicNoise | Aug 27, 2018
Milia Lyons | Aug 27, 2018

There are a lot of things for a 4mo old. Mostly the usual things though, blocks outdoor sand pit... They have a baby section that is only for 2yo and under I believe. But it can get pretty hectic there on some days. I would suggest Kidz Kastle in Warwick instead. I love both places.
