About this adventure

A hands-on play museum built for children ages 1 to 11 and their caregivers. Exhibits include Water Ways (ice, mist and a water-play environment), an outdoor Children's Garden with a trickling fountain and physical-challenge toys, Coming to Rhode Island (a time-traveling story adventure about people who immigrated to the state), ThinkSpace puzzles and shape challenges, Littlewoods, Blue Blocks, a Maker Studio, an Innovation Lab and Play Power. Tickets can be reserved online for a specific date; members and anyone using a discount must get tickets in person. Food and drink are not allowed in the exhibits (water and baby bottles excepted), and caregivers should bring a change of clothes. Adults (16+) must come with a child, and children under 16 with an adult. The museum has its own free lot, which fills on busy days, plus metered street parking.
