Great place for walking, picnics, biking, flying kites. Outdoor fun. We enjoyed a walk with our dogs and laid out a blanket to have a picnic. Played with the dogs a little more and then walked around again. Nice breeze off the Narragansett Bay with beautiful views, fun watching the boats and birds. Wear comfortable walking shoes or sandals for the beach.
Miss the old Amusement park. Oh such memories I have.

This is one of our favorite family day trips in New England. Beautiful grounds surrounding the zoo and within. Exhibits for the animals are very large and acclimated to what each animal needs. Staff is extremely friendly and there is something for everyone. Feeding the giraffes is a must stop and do!
