    swans
    Maria M.

    It's pretty tiny to be a state park but we are in Rhode Island, the smallest state! There's a nice paved walking path that runs along a lake. In the spring and autumn there are lots of birds and squirrels about doing their business. I like hearing all the different bird calls and watching the swans, geese and ducks on the lake. Apparently one of the swans used to be all on its own and was very nasty - it attacked an innocent baby gosling (not Ryan haha but a baby goose). Anyway, it's a pretty spot to walk and watch nature's drama unfold!

    Not the lake I remembered growing up. Awful smell and so, so dirty- litter, broken glass, goose poop and piles and piles of dog poop from ignorant owners. Won't be taking my pup for another walk here. Sad it is such a mess.

    When you feel blue and really need a pick up activity, this is the place to go. You will nature…read morecompeling, calling you, offering you that feeling of harmony and love that you were missing. This botanical venue is the largest in all New Englad. We are touchy to have it. Me personally I purchased the a manual pass with gives you two extra tickets for guests to use when you feel like. I find this venue a place for peace and tranquility a place were you can scape from the world and be in touch with nature. Can't wait to visit once more.

    I wanted to pay a visit to the goats they have outside the botanical gardens so we ended up going…read morein to check out the holiday displays. The botanical gardens are much more spacious than I remember there are 4 different greenhouses with a wide variety of tropical plants, trees, a kid's play space, and an herb and vegetable garden. They even have a mini koi pond with some huge koi. Everything was decorated for the holidays with multiple christmas trees, several different train sets and poinsettias everywhere. One of the train sets has a model city that is supposed to look like Providence. I love model trains so this was fun to see. I do wish they had made the settings a little bit more detailed and realistic. Overall a very cool place and a nice retreat from the coldness of winter. It's very warm and humid in there so it really does feel like you're somewhere tropical. They have some truly gigantic monsteras, jade trees and elephant ear plants. Definitely inspiring for my home plant collection! I had no idea how huge some of these plants could get under the right conditions. I do wish there were more labels on the plants - we found some interesting trees (a fruit tree that was maybe papaya) but there was no sign to indicate what it was. Check it out - a fun, family friendly spot to go on a winter weekend. And don't forget to visit the goats on the way in!
