Access to this facility is open to all students of RIC, one of those many pesky fees you'll see…read morelisted on your tuition bill. I figure, if I have to pay the fee anyway I may as well give the place a shot. The Rec Center has a large pool, an indoor track, weight room on the first floor, cardio room on the second. There is also an area right when you walk in where you can sit and study. The cardio area is nice because it has really large windows that let light in. It can get hot if you're in the sunlight for too long, but if you mention it the staff can lower some automatic blinds. The shower/ locker room is clean enough. The initial activation process was a hassle because you have to sign an electronic waiver, but you can only access it after watching a safety video and the ric mobile site is pure trash and does not load properly. The woman working the front desk was nice enough to let me use her work computer to complete the process. All in all the whole place is adequate and if your a student at RIC that wants to work out you should use this space.

This is the part of campus that is done right…read more For all the things we complain about at RIC, the Recreation Center is the one that will get the most praise. It's a beautiful, brand new facility that is clean and has a decent amount of equipment. To highlight key points: - Free weights go up to 100 lbs (in increments of 5 lbs) - 2 squat racks - 5 bench press stations (2 incline, 1 decline, and 2 flat bench) - Indoor pool and track field - Plenty of cardio machines upstairs - Decent amount of machines specific to muscle groups (ex: Lat pull down and seated chest press machines). - Clean locker rooms and bathrooms I only have two complaints. One would be the lack of attachments that go along with the jungle pulleys. There are no straight bars, row bars, or v-handles. That truly deters from having variety in a workout and in a away, takes away from a quality workout as well. Additionally, there aren't any unique machines here. It's pretty standard equipment and nothing out of the ordinary. Secondly, the hours of operation need more consistency. The gym is open Tuesdays and Thursdays from 10 AM, yet every other day of the week (including Friday), they open at 7 AM? Weird. But, it's definitely worth your time to come here. The Rec Center fee per semester is reasonable, and it's such a convenience. I'd recommend this gym to any Rhode Island College student or faculty member, encouraging them to make use of it.

The place was filthy, and staff were not paying attention to jumpers AT ALL. I could not even order a water because no one was around. Shortly into jumping police arrived due to some type of violence with staff and guests. The police had to make arrests. On top of all of this they charged me unknowingly for months of "memberships" that I supposedly signed up for. I NEVER was told this nor did I want a membership, ESPECIALLY after the experience. It took me 3 weeks to make MULTIPLE attempts to get reimbursed for a charge I never agreed to. Please do not bring your children here. In my opinion, this place should be shut down.

After perusing the crafts and vendors outside, we ordered some bratwurst and a large pretzel and took our food in to the downstairs Rathskeller to enjoy.

The rathskeller is nicely decorated and has a variety of seating - bar, table, and there are also some games as well. We sat at the bar and had a great conversation with another guest who was visiting for the first time as well. Would definitely return for the Oktoberfest celebration!

The German American Cultural Society hosted Oktoberfest on Saturday, September 28 from 1-11pm and…read moreSunday, September 29 from 12 to 5pm. Tickets purchased online were $10 (+ a small processing fee of $0.25) and guests purchasing tickets at the door on the day of the event were charged $12. I purchased two tickets online for Sunday, September 29 and the total was $20.50. On Sunday, we arrived around 12:00pm and was easily able to grab a parking space in the big parking lot. As time went on, the parking lot got fuller and people needed to park on the streets. Our ticket was scanned and we got stamped on our hand. It was our first time at the German American Cultural Society, so we walked around a bit first. There were vendors in the outdoor Biergarten, downstairs by the Ratskeller bar, and upstairs in the large indoor Bierhalle. We first purchased a bratwurst on a roll with sauerkraut and potato pancakes from Biergarten food tent. It was very good and I enjoyed the apple sauce on the potato pancakes. From Burgundian Waffles, I got a Churro Waffle, which was an Original Liège Waffle tossed in Cinnamon & Sugar Liège Waffles and I added fruit on top. The strawberries, rasperberries, and blueberries were fresh. My husband got the Liege of Nations. The Liège Waffles were very tasty and the menu had savory, sweet, or build your own waffles. We eventually also purchased a dinner plate with bratwurst, leberkäse, Kartoffelsalat (potato salad), and sauerkraut from the Ratskeller kitchen. It was my first time having leberkäse and it was good. I really enjoyed the flavor of the Kartoffelsalat. I did prefer the bratwurst from the Biergarten food tent that we had earlier. We also got beer from Weihenstephan claiming to be the world's oldest brewery. I got the Weihenstephaner Festbier, which is a full, rich-bodied, hoppy, seasonal lager. It was light. My husband got the Weihenstephaner Hefeweizen, which is their golden-yellow wheat beer. The Bavarian Brothers were performing from 1-5pm so we went upstairs to the Main Bierhalle to see their performance. I really enjoyed their performance and nice to see people getting up and dancing. Overall, it was really nice to enjoy the live music, dancing, German Festbier, and traditional German food dishes. Our friends joined us later and we had a great time. I can't wait to check out the other events at the German American Cultural Society like Christkindlmarkt (Christmas Market).

We got…read morestuck bc a critical clue was hidden in a spot remarkably inconsistent with the hiding spots of every other clue we found/unlocked. When we pressed the help button on the door nobody responded. We pressed it numerous times over the course of about 10 minutes, as we continued trying to figure things out; no one ever came. Finally one of the 11yr olds banged on the door. That got a response, but a good amount of our 50 minutes had elapsed. After arriving, the staff person took quite a few more minutes to figure out what clue we were missing, probably because the kids had strewn a lot of the props & paper clues around the room. When we finally got our help it was in the form of, "oh! you need to look in this exact spot right here for a critical clue (on a piece of laminated paper) that you haven't been able to find, and as it turns out, you guys didn't even realize you were missing! Bye!" After we had that (one stinking) clue we started moving pretty fast. But alas, not enough time was left. The staff was nice enough to let us have a couple more minutes to finish the challenge, but the kids & adults alike were frustrated & demoralized. We adults felt pretty dumb. After all we couldn't even manage the easiest level. I'm thinking I will not ever return to try again. Our room was very low budget in terms of the props & decor, visually very austere, if you will. And there are so many other decent entertainment options out there, places where the kids can enjoy seeing me cheerfully absorb a healthy dose of humility, and where there's an adult beverage or two available for purchase, you know, to soften the blow.
