Providence Children's Museum

Kind of Crowded but a really cute little museum . There is a great outdoor area but in the afternoon/weekends it can become crazy.

Get the membership if you have > 1 toddler/small child, as we do; it will pay for itself in no time. It's a big enough place - go for an hour at a time & really play 'til you drop! Love this museum !!

Far too crowded . My best advice if you have young children is to get a membership and only stray for an hour or so at a time. In the summer when the camp kids come it gets absurdly crazy/crowded

Lots of great interactive play areas . The water room can be slippery so be careful.

Avoid during school vacations! It was a mad-house!! Weekday early afternoons are usually the best time to go.

Cool spot for kids to enjoy themselves out of their brain

The underland area was pretty cool, but I'm a soil scientist, so I might be biased.

The water room and so many activity areas!

Go upstairs to the Teddy Bear Hospital to help heal a bear and you get to take it home c/o Build-a-Bear

Managing two small kids on the second floor is made easier by the relatively short walls dividing the left/right sides.

Don't try to show the kids how to put a puzzle together because you'll never get out alive.

Free but Limited parking

Memberships are well worth it!

Get the bubble man for your next kids party.

Go early and visit the indoor "water play" area first. bring a change of clothes !

Become a member. Well worth it.

Have a blast!
