Rhode Island may be the smallest state in America but the Ocean state has many things to do. It is chock full of history and beautiful scenery that will keep you busy as you plan your exciting adventure. Come see why Providence and Warwick are home to the most people in Rhode Island. Visitors can not get enough of all that Newport has to offer as well. The roads of Providence can be highly congested given the tight area and high population so it is recommended to use other forms of transportation to navigate the streets. A charter bus would be able to accommodate more people while freeing up some traffic. Bus rental would also take the stress off of you when trying to navigate unfamiliar roads.
Providence

This is a great family fun destination. This park is equipped with a zoo, botanical gardens, swan boats, Japanese gardens, carousel and playground. Friday nights in the summer offer up a different food truck in front of the carousel. There are also paved walking trails which allow you to easily stroll the grounds with a stroller if needed.
Warwick
Equipped with horse rentals for a leisurely stroll through the park, a beach with bay views, walking trails and a golf course, Goddard Park is a great way to spend the day. The beach area has lifeguards in the summer and a rope in the water for the little ones. There is even a small boat launch where you can put your kayak in.

Cliff Walk
A picturesque 3.5 mile walk that puts you directly between mansions and the shoreline.
