Newport, Rhode Island for Toddlers & Pre-K
3 day trip
Day 1
-
- Swimming
Easton's Beach
Newport, RI
The epicenter of the Newport Beach scene, this mile-long stretch of sand at the northern end of the Cliff Walk has got it all: a carousel, water slide, skateboard park, playground—and most importantly, a bathroom and a snack bar....
-
- Boutique
Cuffy's of Newport
Newport, RI
This store ranks as the top spot to grab your must-have logo gear, with "Newport" emblazoned upon piles of T-shirts, sweatpants, and the all-important hoodies in every size and color. Kids just have to have one....

- American
- Seafood
- Fine Dining
- Bistro
H2O
Newport, RI
At H20, it's all about the "where" (location). Fortunately, the "what" (food) is pretty good, too. Stunning waterside tables open up to the harbor, where you can nosh and ogle skiffs, graceful sailboats, and full-fledged yachts....

- Hotel / Motel
Hyatt Regency Newport
Newport, RI
Waterside rooms (particularly those with decks) can feel like staterooms, the perk of being located on Newport's Goat Island. Even the pool, with its salt water and deck over the water, gives guests the feeling that they're on a cruise ship....
Day 2
-
- Zoo
- Park
- Boating
- Boat Tour
- Boat Ride
Roger Williams Park Zoo
Providence, RI
This just-right sized zoo is a pleasure, with its lushly landscaped grounds meandering past waterfalls, through wooded areas, and alongside animal habitats. ...

- Italian
- Family Dining
Salas' Restaurant
Newport, RI
The sign on the way in announces that unattended children "will be given an espresso and a free puppy," which will be your first clue that this is not an uppity seaside restaurant....
-
- Theme Park
Ryan Family Arcade
Newport, RI
The cute carnival exterior belies its size, with so many beeping, bopping, pinging games (three floors worth) that kids still talk about the place months after their vacation is over....

Day 3
-
- Children's Museum
Providence Children's Museum
Providence, RI
In an industrial area on the outskirts of the city, this museum pops up like a delightful surprise. The building alone is an exercise in creativity; every inch of this transformed factory is a marvel, fantastically designed and bursting with things to do....
-
- Beach
- Bicycling
Brenton Point State Park
Newport, RI
The sky above this park teems with kites. Kite-flying enthusiasts are drawn by the location and the exceptional kite-flying winds; kids are drawn by the colors and fanciful designs of the whirling and twirling kites....
