Opulent mansions, unique boutiques, elegant restaurants, sprawling vineyards, rooftop bars, and some of the most historic attractions in the country are all nice, but every now and then we like to let our inner kid out to play. From casual eateries with some of the best grub around, to a scavenger hunt inside the International Tennis Hall of Fame, your kids are going to have to try really hard to be bored here.

HANDS-ON EXPERIENCES

TRANSPORT BACK TO THE 18TH CENTURY

Explore 18th-century farm life in Rhode Island at Coggeshall Farm in Bristol, where history comes to life. You'll roll up your sleeves and help run the farm, from a candlelit dinner that you and your family helped cook over the hearth to maple sugaring.

Coggeshall Farm Museum is committed to keeping our visitors and staff safe as we navigate COVID-19 challenges. We are requiring all visitors and staff to wear masks (unless medical reasons prevent it), practice social distancing, and use proper hygiene. The museum will be closely following the requirements and guidance from the state including contract tracing and monitoring all safety protocols.

 

TRY SAILING

Calling all sea legs: try sailing with Sail Newport, a one-hour experiential sailing opportunity. Bring hats, sunglasses, sunscreen and a jacket or fleece to layer.

Sailors are limited to those within the same household. Please note that bookings are by appointment only.

 

PICK YOUR OWN

Want to play farmer for a day? Our charming “pick-your-own” farms will have you rolling up your sleeves to harvest local apples, strawberries, raspberries, peaches, blackberries, blueberries, pumpkins and more. 

Please check with each business to confirm experiences, availability and hours.
