Roger Williams Park is a favorite go-to destination for us - and lots of other Rhode Islanders and tourists. It has so much to offer. Even when cars line the roadways, I've never seen it truly crowded with people.
A Google search for Roger Williams Park usually brings up the zoo, which is a great zoo, but it's not the only thing in this impressive park. There are plenty of overlooked gems.
One attraction that's better-known is Carousel Village. The Village includes a Victorian-style carousel, Hasbro's totally accessible "Boundless Playground" and a snack bar/gift shop.
The carousel is beautiful, with all kinds of animals and chariots; some stationary and some mobile. Here are a few of our favorites:
 |
| This flying golden beauty |
 |
| A giraffe - one of my favorite animals |
 |
| a battle-ready steed |
 |
| Rhode Island - themed horse with flag and seal |
 |
| hippocampus - my favorite of the rides on this carousel |
A ride token only costs $1, making it an affordable and fun stop.
