Providence Children's Museum

It was more of an indoor playground than a museum. Some activities weren’t open, not working properly, or broken. Staff were helpful and friendly. Easy and dedicated parking. $16 per child or adult which we felt was a lot for what this museum has to offer.

I took my 4 year old here a few weeks ago and we had an absolute blast exploring the children's museum together. It has multiple levels with a lot to learn and do. We had a lot of fun in the water room, enjoyed building walls and knocking them down upstairs and my son really enjoyed playing with the pipes to make his own track. We spent about 2-3 hours here, which was plenty of time to explore everything and work up a good appetite for lunch.

Love bringing the kids I nanny here. There is a room to eat food in and in the summer there are tables outside. Lots of activities that even I enjoy taking a part in plus seasonal and special events throughout the year. Membership is definitely worth it if you go even just a few times. They also offer discounts and/or free entry for those with government assistance. Highly recommend bringing an extra pair of clothes (and maybe shoes) if you go in the water room. For a 3 year old or younger, they can get soaked pretty quickly- even with the provided aprons!

The location was undoubtedly a delightful place to visit, filled with enjoyable experiences. However, it offered a relatively limited range of activities. I think it would benefit them to introduce a wider variety of engaging options, particularly for children aged six and older. Additionally, there’s potential for some creative and interesting ideas for play areas that could enhance the overall experience for kids.

We are able to get in via our reciprocal membership, which is an amazing program, but we like to donate occasionally too because this place is so incredible and engaging. They have a dedicated area for kids under 4 that's highly engaging, bilingual postings all over and so much to do. Our little one particularly loves the water area, which is indoors so can be used throughout the year. We also went to the Noon New Year event which was amazing for all of the little ones and so incredible!
