Reviewed By WIJRD - Sun Prairie, Wisconsin
We did a "drive thru", Having not been here previously it was a very rewarding experience to have visited. There are many walking/biking paths. Lots of places to pull over to the water's edge and enjoy the view, the breeze, the days sunshine; or to go fishing or have a picnic. Colt state Park is a GEM to have in the community. I lok forward to returning.
2. Green Animals Topiary Gardens
Overall Ratings
4.5 based on 171 reviews
Green Animals is the oldest and most northern topiary garden in the United States.This small country estate in Portsmouth was purchased in 1872 by Thomas E. Brayton, Treasurer of the Union Cotton Manufacturing Company in Fall River, Massachusetts. It consisted of seven acres of land, a white clapboard summer residence, farm outbuildings, a pasture and a vegetable garden. Gardener Joseph Carreiro, superintendent of the property from 1905 to 1945, and his son-in-law, George Mendonca, superintendent until 1985, were responsible for creating the topiaries. There are more than 80 pieces of topiary throughout the gardens, including animals and birds, geometric figures and ornamental designs, sculpted from California privet, yew, and English boxwood. Today, Green Animals remains as a rare example of a self-sufficient estate combining formal topiaries, vegetable and herb gardens, orchards and a Victorian house overlooking Narragansett Bay.

This was my second visit. Garden lovers can find many beautiful flowers, plants, and interesting vegetables in addition to the "Green Animal." If you are from local, I strongly recommend a membership. With it you can visit this garden as well as many famous mansions such as the Breaker and the Marble House. The current price for a couple's membership is $80 for a year.

Danielle was our tour guide. She was phenomenal! Very informative. She absolutely knew just about everything there was to know about the house, the family, trial etc. She was able to answer all questions...even the curve balls :). Very good. I would recommended it to anyone looking for something to do in Fall River.

This beach is located far from the busy areas of places like Newport or New Bedford. It's a long, sandy beach with gentle surf perfect for kids, wading, or just relaxing. Nice views and soft sand, lots of boat and water sports traffic to watch, a playground and picnic tables.

The grounds at this winery are beautiful and calming. The wine tasting offers up seven samples, cost $14, and lets you keep the glass. The pours were quite generous. Our server was friendly and knowledgeable about the wines. I asked about the black panther statues on the grounds and learned they are a sign of protection.
The red blends were OK but I especially enjoyed the white wines. Siren, a crisp vidal blanc, was my favorite.

Really enjoyed touring this lovely mansion in Bristol, RI. This estate has all of it's original furniture and a great history. Strolling through the gardens which take you down to the bayside is a treat.

Recently went into this little find to purchase some honey for my Mom's raw throat. To my positive surprise, there was local raw honey available. Hadn't much time, but was delighted to see so many other wonderful products, also, including some great cheddar from England and fresh sourdough breads. Staff very friendly and knowledgeable. Only passing through as live elsewhere now, but what a gem!

The most amazing display of naval firepower you will ever see. Battleship, Cruiser, Destroyer, PT Boats, Submarine and Cruiser. Definitely worth a visit. You can find coupons on line to limit the cost,. I don't think that kids under 8 should be visiting here. There are steep stairs and small hatches to crawl through.It will take a day and a half to see everything in detail so allow some time.....but definitely tour this site!

While checking into our hotel room, I just happened to spot the brochure for the Newport Car Museum among the others on the rack. Knowing my husband would enjoy seeing muscle cars after a mansion tour, I grabbed the pamphlet for more information. The outside of the building was very commercial looking, but inside was a thoroughly decorated, modern museum with various projection screens, displays, simulators, and seating areas. Knowing nothing about cars, it was still a great place to visit with the mini documentaries running in various rooms. The museum was a short 10-15 minute drive from our Newport hotel. The $18 admission fee was a fair price for all this site had to offer.
