Newport, Rhode Island for School-Age Kids
3 day trip
Day 1
-
- History Museum
- Historical Landmark
Fort Adams
Newport, RI
Kids get to be human moles at this historic nineteenth century fort, exploring the maze of underground tunnels where soldiers used to stand guard....
-
- 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....

Hyatt Regency Newport
Newport, RI

- Swimming
Easton's Beach
Newport, RI

Amazing Grace Harbor Tours
Newport, RI
Amazing Grace is a lovely, smooth-cruising, introductory water tour that, at one hour, gets kids close to the important sights (mansions, yachts, lighthouses) without stretching little ones' attention spans. ...

Day 3

- 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....
-
- 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....
