Narrated by Kelsey Grammer, America the Beautiful travels coast to coast through the country's most iconic landscapes and wildlife and tells the story of the conservation movement begun by Theodore Roosevelt that protects them. It is a good indoor pick for school-age children interested in animals, national parks and geography. One showing a day at 12:30 pm; tickets $10, $5 for members. ## Similar picks in Providence - [Discovery Tykes at the Museum of Natural History](https://grassyknees.com/providence/activities/discovery-tykes-at-the-museum-of-natural-history--listing-4ef0231bf6a2eb31c8a89b2f) — Fri, Nov 6 (+1 more date) · 10:00 AM – 10:30 AM · Museum of Natural History and Planetarium, Roger Williams Park · Ages 2–4 · Free · checked Oct 24.
