Here’s Rhode Island’s Top Outdoor Attraction And You’ll Definitely Want To Do It
Rhode Island is filled with fantastic outdoor attractions, breathtaking state parks, and recreational land. Though each one offers something a little different, each destination is filled with wonder in its own way. Some places are visited more frequently than others. One in particular is a place where it is pretty much guaranteed that every Rhode Islander has memories in. By now you’ve probably figured out that we’re talking about Roger Willams Park Zoo.
Roger Williams Park Zoo occupies a gorgeous stretch of land in Rhode Island's capitol city of Providence and is named after the founder of the state of Rhode Island.
Roger Williams Park Zoo was founded in 1872 and is home to more than 100 unique animal species. Not only is it one of the oldest zoos in the nation, it continues to open new exhibits so it's worth revisiting time and time again.
Whether you want to spend your next outdoor day on a paddle boat in one of the park's lakes, picnicking in a lovely field, or discovering rare animals, Roger Williams Park Zoo has it all, and then some.
