What travelers are saying
- lmphillyPhiladelphia, PA243 contributionsThis was awesome. Went on a Sunday so admission was free. Spent about 3 hours. Includes modern art, European masters, ancient Egypt, Asian art and more. Don’t miss 6th floor. The museum is deceptively large. We parked for free on street. Well worth a visit.Written May 26, 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
- Tour8250037 contributionsHave been a Broadway series subscriber for a few years and enjoy every trip to PPAC. Seats are comfortable- more leg room the closer to the stage you get. Recommend first dress circle, great view and sound!Written May 9, 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
- Relax256066334423 contributionsDefinitely worth a stop in Providence, even if it's just to look around the building for a little bit. The inside is beautifully decorated and has several pieces of artwork and memorials to look at.
The free one-hour tour was expertly done and well worth the time. Ann was very knowledgeable and enthusiastic throughout the tour.Written May 19, 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

The very not important thing I learned about this visit is that Ivy League schools don’t have to have ivy covered walls. Maybe I missed it.Written May 2, 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
- Christopher MNew Market, VA9 contributionsAmazing zoo. Sorry we missed the opening of the penguin habitat set for July of 2024.

The children’s section is so welcoming with a low horseshoe shaped bench surrounded by low bookshelves.

- SNMManila, Philippines361 contributionsLots to see and lots to eat, come with an empty stomach and have some of the best Italian food in the world! From cannolis to pasta and paired with a lovely local beer :)Written June 9, 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Celeste D173 contributionsThe park is large with lots of trails and features. I liked waking around the trails seeing different water views. I especially liked the dirt trail along the lake. The Japanese garden was nice but crowded. I wished I would have come earlier in the day to see the botanical garden. The parking was terrible if you come on a weekend. The spot I found didn't have a turnaround so everyone had to back out to get to the main road through the park.Written April 29, 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Laurel W20 contributionsCool looking historic homes up on a hill overlooking the city. Driving can be a bit tight with the 2 way streets that only have ONE lane…. Lots of alleyways and restored homes. Worth a look and also seating at Prospect Terrace overlooking the cityWritten October 5, 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

There are so many interesting materials to interact with. They stayed busy and engaged all morning. After a couple hours one commented to me that they were glad they got to spend the morning having fun instead of learning! Little did they know how educational all their learning was. The staff were amazing about cleaning throughout the day. Everyone was friendly and welcoming and inclusive. Signs are in both English and Spanish.
